Sure, you mountain bike, snowboard, rock climb, fish, play chess, and drive formula 1, (this means you Coulthard!)

I’m sure you always wanted to bring back those living images of greatness when you jumped, landed, caught, or checkmated all your opponents in living color.

Now it’s possible for a reasonable sum of money! (that’s different than paying for the lipstick cameras that adorn F1 cars that cost a tad more than $100). Thanks to the ATC-2000 Action Camera from Oregon Scientific. A special thanks to the big guy over at Fat Cyclist, (his words not mine) for letting me in on the secret.

The Action camera is just what the typical adrenaline (and bbq salmon teriyaki) fiend is looking for.  Durability. Did I mention durability?  Yeah, cause I break stuff and I know you do too! As far as frame rate, you only get 15fps, which is more than fast enough to capture sports that require you to see what you’re doing.  Just don’t go play that Tron-lightcycles game, man that is hard to follow on video!

Christmas is already around the corner next week and if you haven’t bought any presents (or gifts) for your kids, I will present 2 cool suggestions that can be purchased online.

Not only are they good quality wise, but they also have a nice price and kids will most likely love them. The best part is that the toys teach something but in a fun (not boring) way, so instead of playing computer games or spending the whole day staring at a TV with a gaming console, they will have something useful to do.

• Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set

This is basic (for kids aged 2 to 5) but cool! The simple device can be attached to the fridge thanks to the magnetic part so this is perfect for the whole-day-cooking-sessions because kids will be near you or whoever is cooking.

It comes with the 26 letters of the alphabet, and just by placing each letter inside the device it is able to reproduce the letter name and sound – making it easy and fun to learn the ABCDEF… Another feature is the ABC song that can be played after pressing the musical note icon.

Price: $15

Have you ever had a really bad experience while using your computer? Are you frustrated with the dearth of blue screens that pop up all the time? Spam and malware got your goat? As much as you would like to take a hammer out from the toolbox in the shed, you simply cannot bring yourself to smash the monitor to smithereens as there just isn’t enough money in the coffers to pick up a new one. What are some of your alternatives? In addition to taking a time out from using computers, you can always pick up the Screen Smasher software.

It would be an understatement to say that things get extremely chilly around this time of the year, which is why it is all the more important for you to keep yourself warm and toasty each time you step out of your house lest you fall sick and fail to enjoy a Christmas season that is full of fun and joy. With technology moving at an ever faster pace than before, having warm winter clothing no longer means you have to look all bulked up like an elephant, as this Heated Vest from Hammacher will attest. In fact, we here at Coolest Gadgets think that it will go down very nicely with a pair of Dual-Zone Heated Cargos.

Following on from our list of gadget shops in the UK, heres one for all of our readers on the other side of the pond, Gadget shops in the USA.

	Hammacher Schlemmer We’ve written about numerous gadgets and gizmos that we found first on Hammacher, their catalogue is an absolute treasure trove for all gadget lovers (especially those with thick wallets).
	HobbyTron This is a store for the “Big Kid” gadget lover, it’s packed with remote control toys and things to make, great stuff!
	ThinkGeek Possible the most well known gadget store in the world, Think Geek as a must for all geeks and gizmo addicts.
	First Street “Innovation & Technology : See it here first” and I must admit some of the stuff they have is very unique to them (and with a 5% discount ).
	Discovery Store Another great source for fun gifts and I find the Discovery Store has a whole host of educational gadgets for the younger tech head.
	The Lighter Side More novelty and fun gadgets here
	Entertainment Earth More collectibles rather than gadgets but still some pretty cool stuff
	Circuit City Full of consumer electronics, cool stuff
	The Tech Geek Over 30,000 geeky products, cool
	Things You Never Knew Existed If you’re looking for the obscure this is the site you’ll find it on, some very strange stuff indeed

That’s all for now folks, happy shopping (just remember you’re meant to be buying gifts for other people).

So you think your $500 silk shirt looks spiffy on your Versace jeans and Hugo Boss shoes, but that look just ain’t complete without a watch that makes you outpimp even the high rollers at Vegas. Touted to be the first high quality LED watch in the world that makes use of 72 LED lights to tell the time, the Pimp Ain’t Easy LED watch from PIMP comes in a polished black or stainless steel body. This neat watch that looks extremely futuristic must be imported from the Land of the Rising Sun as you won’t be able to find it anywhere else.

This year I’m trying to do all of my Christmas shopping online (I hate queues) and as I’m a bit of a gadget fiend I thought it would be cool idea to get all my family and friend gadgets of some sort. I just spent the last couple of hours looking at what gadget shops there are in the UK and I am absolutely amazed that there are that many, so I thought I’d share my list here (over the next few days I’ll do one of these for gadget shops in the USA).
