Yesterday, Jackie sent me a link to Photojojo and I’ve been browsing all their cool products like this super cute mini DSLR. It’s a 1/6 scale model that includes 3 lenses that can be attached to the camera. How neat is that? The whole set is $28. I’m really tempted to buy one for myself.
For a long, long time now, in households far and near, a battle has raged over whether young padawans would be allowed to play with their parents’ movie-realistic and super-expensive Force FX lightsaber replicas, or be relegated to the clunky, much cheaper toyish versions found at toy stores across the Outer Rim (and here on

We get exposed to a lot of neat gadgets over the course of the year. I have enjoyed seeing what my colleagues want, and what they suggest. Now it is my turn. I’ll warn you, I have a reputation in my family for putting some pretty expensive stuff on my wish list. I figure, if

One my downfalls (so my wife tells me!) is that I constantly put things down, then can’t remember where I’ve put them! Take my car keys as a prime example. I’ll come in from work, put my keys down in my normal place (on the side of the unit in the kitchen), but when
