Handgun USB Drive
Nothing will ever make you look quite as cool as owning a handgun flash drive. Sure, you can’t take it in most places, due to the stir it might cause. At least you’ll look tough though. With your jet black drive, I’ll bet you only store the toughest of your information on the drive. I haven’t the faintest idea what kind of information would be called tough, but I’ll bet you figure it out.

Ergoroller massages your wrists
There are plenty of squishy and even oddly shaped wrist rests out there to alleviate the pressure off of your wrists. Yet how many actually have lots of little massaging balls. With this your wrists will receive a miniature massage every single time you slide the mouse around. Of course you may prefer the squishy feel of the other rests, but for those that would like to try something new, this is definitely different.

Mr. Klein Washing Machine reuses water
For those of you that are big clean freaks, you might not entirely like this concept. I’m not even obsessive about germs and dirt, but this still doesn’t entirely sit well with me. Most washing machines wash your clothing and then send the dirty water down the drain. As far as the green aspect goes, that’s a huge waste of water and therefore a bit of a bad thing. This Mr. Klein concept does something a little different with that water. After it cleans up your dirty underwear, it will save the water to be used again for another load.

Solar Roadways prototype now built
Solar Roadways received a $100,000 grant by the Department of Transportation last year, and it is good to see all that money put to good use with a spanking new solar-powered road prototype. Currently, Solar Roadways is in the running for an award as a finalist (“Most Promising Renewable Energy Award”), and initial tests have shown that their pedestrian warning system with a couple of small kids worked like a charm – whenever one of the little ones step on the crosswalk panel, the Solar Road Panel lights up with a warning “SLOW DOWN” for drivers. This ought to help reduce the number of accidents on the road somewhat in the long run, don’t you think so? Solar Roadways hopes to see these solar-powered panels make their way to driveways, parking lots, walkways, playgrounds and even bike paths sometime down the road.

Mistletoe Pocket Ashtray
Want something absolutely zany if you are a regular smoker? Perhaps you might want to check out the Mistletoe Pocket Ashtray that offers a colorful method of disposing of your cigarette butts. After all, if you happen to be in a fine city like Singapore, nonchalantly flicking the butt to the street will more often than not result in being slapped with a summons on the spot. The Mistletoe Pocket Ashtray allows you to do so in a dignified manner, sliding the cap aside to see half a dozen cigarette-shaped holes, making it a snap to just pop the ciggy in and close it up. Made from tough and heat-resistant ABS plastic, the Mistletoe Pocket Ashtray comes in orange, lime green or pink colors, retailing for $9.90 a pop. It would make for an interesting cellphone ornament, don’t you think so?
