A cute desk organizer accessory, the Butt Station, which will help organize your desk. The Butt Station holds your business cards (or Post-it notes), tape dispenser, pens, pencils, and paperclips. The little man will pop off the toilet to allow access to the paperclips held in the toilet bowl. Duh. All this cuteness is yours for only $16 at Amazon. Additional picture after the break.
At first glance I thought this was a wind up flashlight, looks very similar. (see picture 
to the right) Not a bad idea for the hippie who doesn’t like using a straight razor or a wall outlet. The Wind ‘N Go razor gets its power from the hand crank. Crank away and feel good about the environment. The unit sells for only $47.

Texas Instruments (TI) believes that handheld mobile projectors are going to be huge. I for one am on the fence. I am not sure I need a projector for my cell phone. But if you were to go back in time, and ask me the same question about a camera on my cell phone I may have felt the same way. Now it just seems silly to have a camera on a cell phone. Maybe projectors will follow the same path. TI thinks so, and is betting big on this new technology.

I realize the benefits of eating fresh fruit, however I rarely tend to buy/eat fresh fruit. Maybe it is because the fruit goes bad so quickly… maybe it is because I am lazy. Either way, making fresh fruit last longer (without chemicals) is a great idea. Enter BLUE, a magic bowl that cleanses and protects your fruit via a special blue light that kills bacteria. The unit uses a rechargeable battery and a removable bowl for easy cleaning. A picture showing how BLUE works, after the break.

That’s right folks, a Mexican company, Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana (TAM), introduced a backpack helicopter (queue in various border crossing jokes). Why is it called a Rocket Helicopter? Because of the tiny jet engines on the tips of the blades that make them spin. The Rocket Helicopter will come with an impressive backpack-like harness that will presumably distribute pressure instead of giving its pilot a rocket powered wedgie. TAM previously made the news with their rocket belt, which for a mere $125K, allowed somewhat controlled flight for 30 seconds. The Rocket Helicopter is in partial prototype stage, no working unit has been built, but plenty low rez concept animations have been made available (just like being there… NOT).
Trying to get music in my ears while swimming never really crossed my mind. But apparently their is a (limited) market for this type of thing. This all-in-one MP3 player by Ubana, named the uCan has the 1GB MP3 player and earphones integrated into one unit. In looking around a bit I found these other devices to bring music under the water - waterproof iPod case, waterproof earphones, and other brands of MP3 Players.
It looks like Atari is doing the “if you can’t beat them… copy them” routine with their Atari Family Trainer. The Family Trainer is just like the Wii Fit in that it uses a Power Pad type floor mat controller to get your fanny off the couch and exercising.
“That’ll apparently let you run and jump your way through more than a dozen mini-games designed to get your heart rate going, including log jumping, rope skipping and water rafting, each of which also make use of the Wiimote for some upper-body action. No word on a price just yet, but it’ll apparently be landing in Europe first this September before it (presumably) makes its way over here.”
