When I feel like there has to be a more efficient, productive way to do something that I'm working on, I check here first. Usually there's at least one relevant article. Most of the software reviews are for the mac, but don't let that stop you. :)
Plus, it's the birthplace of the hipster PDA--the low-tech product for high-productivity. It doesn't have enough buttons for a technophile like me, but it's a great invention nonetheless. I know several people who rely on them.

Description
A great tool for writing notes, organizing ideas, and keeping all your loose ends in one place. I don't have a tablet PC, but still use this constantly. It's my scratch pad, my to do list, my research scrapbook and more. What else? It's able to sync my notebooks between multiple machines, so I never lose my ideas.

Description
Knowing my fridge, I would be in the market for a "months ago" version. I don't actaully own any of these gizmos, but I really like the idea--attach one of them to something in your fridge with either a suction cup or magnet, and it counts how many days have gone by since you last interacted with the food. Hit the button to reset it.
I'd be interested to hear about people's experiences with these guys. I can see this as the type of thing people end up loving. (via news.com)

Shopping Guide Featuring This Item:
This is:
Rockstar Juiced
First to recommend
Description
It's flavored with orange, mango, and passionfruit juice. Unlike many energy drinks, you can actually tell. Delicious, and it packs the mega dose of caffeine you expect.
Note it's a little on the sweet side, so be prepared to add a lot of ice... or vodka. Mmm.

Description
Incredibly smooth, even though it's a barrel-strength bourbon (108.4 proof). If you prefer your bourbon cold, try sticking it in the freezer instead of adding ice. Very tasty stuff at a reasonable price.

Crate&Barrel Single Malt Glass
First to recommend
Description
A hefty glass that makes your favorite 10-year taste even better. The walls are thicker than standard glasses, which provide a more pleasurable sipping experience.
This is one of my very favorite pieces of barware.

This is:
Creative MuVo V100 MP3 Player
First to recommend
Description
Small, lightweight, simple, and quite handy. There are no cables to plug in and there is no special software required to manage your music. Pull the USB key portion out of the body (which contains the single AAA battery) and pop it into your computer. Then simply drag and drop a gigabyte or two of music. Or, put some documents onto it. Anything. The MuVo ignores non-music files, so it doubles as a regular USB memory key. It also has a built-in mic for voice recording. (via anton s.)

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

Description
Go and try these out. Now. You'll be standing there in the store, flipping them on and off, transfixed by the fascinating sensation of a silence vacuum sucking away ambient noise. Combine them with an audio input source and you can drown out most any source of aural distraction.
The rigid storage case also easily fits your MP3 player of choice--handy when packing for trips.

HeadRoom Total BitHead Headphone Amp
First to recommend
Description
You bought the nice headphones for your MP3 player or computer, but you're not hearing everything properly yet. Sure--it all seems fine, but you'll notice a big improvement in sound quality with a real (albeit miniature) power amp driving your tunes.
Connects via audio cable to your MP3 player or via USB to your computer (bypassing your built-in sound card entirely). Needs four AAA batteries if not drawing power from your computer.
