Join The USB Bra
German artists Dialog05 have put together a range of conceptual USB devices. These are pieces of “art” rather than actual working USB gadgets but pretty cool none the less.
My favourite has got to be the USB Bra, with the phrase “Unplug and play” being aptly appropriate 
. They also have a few ideas which could work and be marketable in the “real” world, like the USB watch and USB padlock (a means of securing your data).
You can see and laugh at the full collection on the Dialog05 site (found via Digg).

Spoil a Child with their own Boat and Lake
This has got to be on every spoilt youngsters birthday list, the Power Paddler Lagoon Water Park for the kid who has everything.
For your thousand dollars you get an inflatable 225 square foot lagoon which holds 1,015 gallons of water, on top of which your child can sail their very own unsinkable paddle boat, though knowing kids (and a famous movie) I don’t think a boat should ever be called unsinkable. If you can afford to have 2 children (which if you’re seriously considering this you must be) then you can buy an extra *unsinkable* boat for a paltry $259.
So for $1,259 you can start developing you children’s competitive streak. Lagoon and boats available from here.
