Everyone knows that the English have the stiff upper lip and barely show any emotions, which is why the process of waking up also requires an air of dignity as evidenced by the Voco Alarm Clock. What sets this alarm clock apart from all other offerings available on the market today is its ability to coax you out of bed in a gentlemanly manner. Yes sir, sleepyheads no longer need to contend with irritating gimmicks such as feeding your alarm clock spare change to keep it quiet, running after it, or even knocking it off in mid flight. What you get the with Voco Alarm Clock instead is the dulcet tone of English comedian Stephen Fry.

Technology has advanced to a point where it is now possible to cram in video camera equipment into something as small and ordinary looking as a baseball cap. The Baseball Cap Camera with Digital VCR/Monitor is available only in black – the one main gripe that I have. Won’t it be better if the cap could feature different sports team logos emblazoned across the front? That would definitely make you stand out less as paranoid folk (like me) won’t be as suspicious when they see someone wearing the Dodgers’ cap instead of a black one.

The CTIA Wireless is a show made by CTIA (duh) which is a non-profit organization. In this event the main talk and presentations are all about (wireless, broadband convergence and mobile computing technologies) cellphones and gadgets alike, so I will try to come up with the coolest mobile phones that were displayed in this year’s CTIA Wireless Show that ended a few days ago and took place in Orlando, USA.

To start things in a nice mood we got a good looking music phone made by Pantech, it is codenamed C510.

Since it is a “flip” phone it obviously has 2 different displays:

• one on the outside being a LCD with a 96×16pixel resolution, it displays information about the song you are listening and is placed right next to the track controls.
• and one in the inside which is better than the previous of course, it measures 1.8-inches and has a 128×160 resolution.

I think that besides the usual features it has (camera, bluetooth, etc) there is an important aspect to make it a cool music phone, and the colors (light green, silver) are also appealing.

This post is not about gadgets, but what can be cooler than these Star Wars spaceships and Sci-Fi stuff in paper models that you can print and fold? There’s a Tie Fighter, an AT-AT, a Star Destroyer, a Millennium Falcon and even a Probe Droid. If you’re from another planet and don’t like Star Wars that much, there’s also the Enterprise and a Borg Cube from Star Trek, and even the DeLorean from Back to the Future.

Not only can this little gadget help you keep your driver’s license and play funny drinking games with your friends, but it can also tell you if it’s safe to spend your hangover under the clear sky; it’s a pen-shaped alcohol tester with an attached ‘harmful ultraviolet sunlight’ detector.

Want to give your iPod a heart attack? In this clip from YouTube, Alanis Morissette covers the Black Eyed Peas song “My Humps“. Seem like a strange paring? It is. But it’s on purpose. I think dcmjzero put it best when he posted this comment on Digg.com: “Who would have thought the best way to make fun of a song would be to sing it seriously?”

You may not have realized how poorly written “My Humps” was before watching this clip. Honestly, Fergie isn’t known for crafting thoughtful lyrics. I think there’s a line in her new song Glamorous that goes like this: “Taco Bell. Raw as hell“. Actually I take it all back. Fergie is the Shakespeare of modern times.

Ever been at a party and couldn’t find your beer? Do you sometimes feel like that darn can is trying to elude you? I sure did! Alas, there is an end to this! The Beer Pager! Drop your can or bottle in it, clip the remote to your belt and enjoy the party. If you’re unable to find your drink, just press the red button, and a friendly belch will help you pinpoint its location.

I took delivery of my Nintendo Wii a couple of weeks ago and it is an awesome piece of kit, this next gadget should of come with the Wii or at least of been an official extra but no another company had to come up with the common sense to make a USB Charger for the Wii Remote.

The idea is so simple, the remote control docking station connects to the USB port at the back of the Wii and when the remote is not in use (in our house that is when we are asleep) dock the remote and let it charge. On the downside it does mean you need to leave the Wii turned on all the time, either that of connect it to a USB socket on your always on PC (or is that just me that never seems to turn the PC off).

You can get the Wii remote USB charger from Rare Mono Shop for $29.
