Description
Brilliant... (A little on the bulky side though, which reminds me too much of my hockey gloves.)
Thanks, Charizma-Time, for sending me the link. (via Charizma-Time)

Pedal 4 WD SUV
First to recommend
Description
Claimed as the most friendly sports utility vehicle, this pedal-only toy is the most powerful of its kind. It's also fast! I, of course, want it.

Bose iPod Portable Docking Station
3 people recommended this item
Description
Finally, and damn it! I own the docking station from three years ago, when they first introduced it. I LOVE it, and so do all my friends, including my DJ friends. Impressive sound from a single speaker unit that is pretty minimal in design.
What I'm not happy about is mine does not come cordless. What I'm psyched about is the new model has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a handle (important). So one can now tote this to the beach if needed, which I needed and will need.
I think I have to swallow paying for the old model and upgrade to the new. I don't think I have a choice, do I?

Fiber Optic Illuminated Tablecloth
5 people recommended this item
Description
Damn it. I've got to stop looking at lighting. Every time I think I've disciplined myself from spending temptation, I run across another great light I want.
This tablecloth is made of fiber optic lights interwoven into a polyester/polymethacrylate fabric, which is waterproof and washable (can you believe?). I wonder how it would look on suspended, like a window shade... Uses an 11' power cord, which can be removed for washing.
I so want this! I'd like my Burning Man tent to be made of this fiber optic fabric. How hot would that be???

Life-Sized Halo Energy Sword

Description
It's a little too big to work as a cosplay accessory, and a little too real (you can seriously hurt someone with this, though nobody is really sure how to usethis thing). Still, how cool is this thing? (via Hawty McBloggy)

Design Your Own USB Memory Stick
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Okay, my own image on a USB memory stick. Pretty vain and pretty cool. I suppose if I were to forget it somewhere, it'll find its way back to me eventually. Unless this stick is so irresistable, someobody will want to keep it as a keepsake. Hah! Yeah, right...
The site will let you upload image and text, select color or pattern onto a 2 GB memory stick. It's about 20 Euros each, which is not bad considering it's the only service I know that does this.

Leopard Print Taser Gun
First to recommend
Description
Just released at CES this week, Taser International now offers a leopard print Taser MP3 personal accessory for the fashion-conscious, music-loving, "i'm a victim" gal. I wonder if one can accidentally shock one self while working the MP3 buttons. That would be horrible. Kinda funny. But horrible. (via Wired)

Wow. Not sure where I would put it in my house, or why I actually want one... Crazy and cool.

Loog Gutter Cleaning Robot
First to recommend
Description
This is one of the coolest new introductions this year from iRobot. It's a remote controlled gutter cleaner. Have you watched someone on the roof cleaning out the gutter? Scares the heck out of me every time. For $169.99, it's a cool gadget gift for the person who owns that house duty. Good thing it isn't me! (via Elfster Blog)

Cruzin' Cooler - Rideable Electric Beverage Cooler
4 people recommended this item
Description
My boyfriend just screamed, "I WANT that!" (for Burning Man) when I showed him this cooler-scooter thing. He'd be the hit at cap with this, for sure. I wish it were a little less than $500. I would get him one for Christmas. But for $500... I think it would be better spent fixing something or another on his truck.

With a lot of help from friends, I'm learning the difference and similarities between gardening and yard work.
Painting 101
Updated Feb 17, 2009
I'm one of those who "learn by experience" type of person. Oh yeah, I learned quite a bit of painting a house. It can be...
