Waking up in the morning is hard for a lot of people but nothing makes it more intolerable than that incessant buzzing of your typical alarm clock. But the Infallibly Polite Speaking Alarm Clock is designed to wake you up in a decidedly proper, stereotypically British sort of way.
So, if you’ve always dreamed of being a private investigator or James Bond, then you might just need to have this Button Spy Camera. It’s designed to slip right on your shirt and blend in as just another button, but it’s really so much more.
If you’re looking for a greener lighting option, then you’ll be pleased to hear that this lamp is powered up just by you spinning it. Sure, we’ve all seen the crank-powered sort of lamps before, but this one takes a different approach.
Leaning in closer to your computer as the workday drags on is an occupational hazard, and it’s one that can play havoc with your lower back. Save money on massages (though lose the slightly-shameful feeling of paying someone to touch you) with the LED USB Computer Posture Correcting Alert Device. That’s a very long name for a pretty simple gadget: it perches, webcam-like, on your PC, flashing and beeping if you lean in too close.
If you’ve always wanted to bring a bit of science and nature into your home but didn’t know how, perhaps this Nest Box with IR Camera will do the trick? It combines the best of nature observing with technology for a whole new age of fun.
Now this is something my dad would love. The Stanton T.55 USB Turntable is a brand new gadget that makes it so you can listen to your vinyl records on your MP3 player. And the best part is you don’t have to worry about complicated connections or transfers.
If you’re like me, you’ve had trouble finding a place for your thumb drive from time to time. I mean, yeah, you can put it in your purse, but it just ends up jostling around. But now, TopTech is offering the Slim Data USB Card, which makes it easy to take your information with you without the bulk.
All of you budding DJs out there had better listen up. Though we first heard about the Tonium Pacemaker Pocket-Sized DJ System back at the beginning of 2008, the gadget is now available in the U.S. thanks to a listing at Amazon.com.
Made in Sweden, this pocket DJ gizmo is a 60GB media player that you can take with you anywhere. But the real attraction here is the full and professional DJ functionality incorporated onto the device, like turntables, a record collection and a mixer all confined in a device that can fit in your pocket.
You can play tracks side-by-side thanks to the two independent audio channels. There’s also numerous audio effects, beatmatching and a ton of other interactive features that are sure to make you the life of the party. You can get the Tonium Pacemaker Pocket-Sized DJ System now for $499.99.

We first talked about the Mir:ror RFID tag reader from Violet last year but now you can actually get your hands on this device for the first time. Working with both PCs and Macs, the tag reader makes it easy to tag your belongings for easy tracking.
If you’re one to indulge in a semi-useless gadget every now and again, you’ll be delighted to hear that you can now get your hands on the MicroFly Tiny R/C UFO for a real bargain. Not to mention, it’s just plain cool.
This little toy is really small and hovers around for your amusement. With just a 10-minute charge, the gizmo will fly around for between 5-7 minutes. Featuring a single propeller, this little UFO spins around in the air and has a flashing blue LED light.
To control it, all you have to do is slide the control up and down. That’s all there is to it. You can use more than one MicroFly on the same remote, however, so you could control your own little UFO army. The only drawback is that they require 6-AA batteries. You can get the MicroFly Tiny R/C UFO now for $19.99.
