Ok, yeah, I’m a geek, and I also really love gadgets like this 13-in-1 multi-tool pen. Someone add this to my Christmas list will you.
In addition to a pen it includes a hole puncher; a stainless steel file; a short cutting blade; a flat screwdriver; a wire sleeve remover/small nail remover; an ear pick; a long cutting blade; a tweezer; a Philips screwdriver; a stainless steel fork and a saw.
I like the idea of the ear pick.

I’ve been watching and waiting for the GorillaPod Go-Go to be released since February. The latest communication (if you can call it that) was a notification that it was coming in June. This followed notifications that earlier said, March, April, May. Wonder what’s taking so long.
I see that a line has already started in NYC for the iPhone 3G. I’m starting one here locally. It starts in my office and shifts back and forth from there to my home.
No point in rushing things.
If you're a stall surfer who uses an iPod or iPhone, this accessory is made for you. Looks like they are on sale at the moment with a 4th of July Special. Is that some kind of play on Independence?

Just cool. Apparently in the upcoming movie Get Smart, Max uses a souped up Swiss Army knife that contains among other things, a crossbow, a working flamethrower, and a blowgun. I want one. I’m a multi-tool fanatic and think this would be a great addition to my arsenal.
Gizmodo has an interesting run down on this and how the prop was created for the movie. Check it out, and you know what I want on my Christmas list.
This is getting almost silly, but then silly can also be fun. Remember the tracking of the those mysterious containers believed to hold iPhones? Now we’ve got a sleuth, Brian Caulfield of Forbes Magazine, on the trail of where they are now. Turns out he thinks he’s spotted them outside a warehouse in Fremont, CA.
We’re seeing a run on RoboDogs here lately. Why is that? Fascinating that folks develop these things and I’m sure they will have uses in a lot of situations. But I still this as more of curiosity than anything else.
And here’s another video of another Robo fido called WowWee Wrex the Dog.
While I don't think I've ever purchased a thing from a Sharper Image store, I've received a few gifts from there, and I love to browse the stores when I get the chance. No more. Looks like they are closing their remaining retail outlets. Bummer.

I've been anxiously following any news about Joby's GorillaPod Go-Go. I'm not sure which is worse, Joby's penchant for missing shipping targets or Democratic Super Delegates that are holding out from declaring a preference. Something tells me the Super Delegates will come clean first. The shipping of the GorillaPod Go-Go has moved from March to April to now who knows as the web site still says shipping in April. In the end it won't matter because I'm sure the product will be a hit, but it is taking awhile.
