Han Solo preserved in a carbonite desk
I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I can remember. Granted, I wasn’t even born until a year after Return of the Jedi hit theaters, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the films. This desk has to be one of the coolest custom desks I’ve ever seen, as it features Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

A kayak you can stand in
You can’t normally fish and kayak at the same time (unless you enjoy getting wet), however that could change with the new fisherman’s kayak.
This is the only kayak available that uses a patented extendable outrigger system to stabilize the craft, enabling outdoor enthusiasts to fish from a standing position. Made of durable polyethylene with stainless steel and aluminum hardware, the kayak has two independent outriggers that pivot outward 45 to its centerline, yet both swing back into position to form the aft section of the craft to allow for smooth paddling.
The fisherman’s kayak costs $1,899.95 and is available at Hammacher.

Home Kitchen Compost helps build a home garden
The Victory Garden. Planted at private residences in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to help suppliment the food supply during World War II. Even over sixty years later they’re still popular. And with the cost of food rising lately, it seems a good idea for everyone to grow one. But few are successful at it. Some don’t know how, and most simply don’t have a steady supply of compost, which can help fertilize the soil. And if you live in an apartment, a victory garden is out of the question, isn’t it? Not if you have a NatureMill PRO Indoor Composter.

Pioneer AVIC-F500BT
Pioneer wants to get its hands in the auto navigation and auto multimedia market with the creation of the AVIC-F500BT. Pioneer calls the F500BT a “hybrid”, and that word is getting thrown around a lot within the auto industry, it applies to this automotive device as well.
After all, the AVIC-F500BT is a mix of many devices. First of all, it is a fantastic navigation system. There are mapping functions that can be viewed in both overhead and moveable 3D. The screen is a 5.8 inch touchscreen, and the directions are text-to-speech enabled by street. The database includes maps of the United States, Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii.
