POD Lamp with Docking Station

The concept of an iPod desk lamp is nothing new. However OttLite’s POD Lamp is even better than the other iPod Lamps out there. Why is that you ask? Because it can accommodate a cell phone and other Mp3 players besides the iPod. The lamp also features wire management, so that you can thread your cords through the bottom of the lamp and charge your phone or MP3 player while it’s docked in the lamp. The lamp is also able to adjust to divergent heights and angles, and includes a 13 Watt OttLite HD bulb which can last up to 10,000 hours.

Not Paper

"I Am Not A Paper Cup," the packaging says. Designed to look like you just stepped out of one of those hip and trendy coffee megachains with a triple grande one-percent two-pump hazelenut no-foam crappuchino with one of their paper-cups. In actuality, you may have made a simple pot of Folgers at home with a blue-packet of sweetener and a glug of milk. Maybe your coffee's not "gourmet" but you can look like you're drinking some of the expensive stuff.

What's more, you're able to simply wash and reuse that cup indefinitely. The cup itself is ceramic and double-walled for extra thermo-goodness. Fill the inner chamber with hot water and keep the coffee warmer longer!

Portable Power-Plant

The potential for power is pervasive - perpetually permeating the planet from pole to pole. The sun, that massive orb of glowing plasma fires down countless quintillions of photons which we can directly capture. Those we don't cause temperature gradients that, when coupled with gravitational tidal effects, cause that heat to be transformed into kinetic energy in the atmosphere. The wind blows in lazy vortices around our big blue marble.

All this power floating around us is there for the taking, so why not make use of it? What we've got now is a simple battery pack that can absorb and store 1200mAh of electricity, rechargeable by wind or solar power. The wind mini-generator is the core of the system, housing the battery and the simple windmill. Strap it to your handlebars or your own body via the optional attachments. Supplement your power-generating ability by adding a solar-panel. You can even attach up to four panels and daisy-chain them together for additional oomph!

Office Monkeys: Monkey See, Monkey Do

Monkey business is a term that is thrown about a lot when referring to office shenanigans (normally with a negative connotation - like "stop all that monkey business and get to work").

These monkeys have not heard of business casual, as they are all dressed up in their finest (just like some of the monkeys in your office). The Office Monkeys Playset is a great stress reliever. Name the monkeys after folks in your office - and where you go from there is up to you. You can recreate office drama, act out fictional office playlets, or just throw them across the room if their real-life counterparts make you angry (it's a lot safer and easier on the back then throwing the real person across the room). Monkeying around was never so much fun.

Because everything tastes better when surrounded with Perl - and keeping your expressions regular will help you be a healthy coder.
