Have the munchies at work? Looking for new ways to get your kids interested in computers? Okay, so this product isn’t real and was only an April Fool’s joke over at ThinkGeek, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually puts on of these things together. I imagine there would be a pretty huge market.

Do you ever dream about those days as a kid when you would go everywhere barefoot? I watch my son now and think ‘Oh, how I wish I didn’t have to wear shoes.’ It’s a crying shame that I have such delicate feet (yes, I said ‘delicate’). Whether you’re walking on Holy ground or just like the feeling of the mud squishing between your toes, now you can enjoy the carefree lifestyle with the rubbery protection and sure-footedness of Vibram FiveFingers.

Have a ton of mix tapes with out-of-print music piled in the floor of your car? Plusdeck2 is your ticket to a lifetime of listening hours of every hit from your childhood. This could quite possibly be the easiest possible way of digitizing your cassettes. Just slide this into an open 5.25″ bay on your desktop computer, make a few connections and start copying. You’ll have all of CCR’s hits on your iPod in no time.

The combination of beautiful craftsmanship, technology and design into an accessory such as the Nixon Rotolog doesn’t come along that often. Â Available in several different colors (Resaca WD, Sky Plaid, Teak, Bamboo, DK WD, White and Black), this watch is stainless steel with a wood or enamel inlay. Â You don’t even need to where clothes with this thing on your wrist.

This thing has been around for a while, and there are several similar products, but regardless, I desperately need one of these. Not only does it shriek loudly, but it runs from you. That’s right, this little bugger takes a dive off your nightstand and turns randomly all over your floor until you get out of bed, chase it down and turn it off.

This may not be an actual product on the market, but it should be. I can think of a gazillion times I’ve wanted a pillow strapped to my noggin. Doctors could prescribe this to people with narcolepsy.
Not actually available for sale.

I currently shoot with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. It isn’t terribly portable so there are plenty of missed shots. Sure, I have the camera phone, but the resolution is terrible. This handy device would be killer to have in those moments that need capturing while you’re out and about.
$50 from Brookstone

Find yourself craving a steak at midnight? Don’t want to wake the neighbors by turning on the floods? I’m not sure that’s what the creators of the LED Grill Light had in mind when they created this thing, but it makes complete sense to me.
Four super bright LEDs illuminate kabobs, steaks, burgers, chicken, salmon or anything else you may like grilled exactly where you need the light.

Dreamed of flying a Black Hawk, Apache or even News Chopper 4? Don’t have the money for a decent R/C heli much less the real thing? Stuck in an office for the majority of your natural born life? The Palm-sized R/C Helicopter might just be your ticket to sanity.
