Mia Schmallenbach Meeting Knife

A Puzzling Knife – Deglon Meeting Knife Set

I usually don’t care much for kitchen utensils and have never written about them before, until I saw the Meeting Knives designed by Mia Schmallenbach.  I’m not exactly sure why they’re called Meeting Knives, but maybe it’s because they all “meet” in one place and are stored in the bigger knife?  Or maybe it’s just a name? (I’m leaning more towards just a name).

The  Meeting Knives come in a 4 piece set, including a paring knife, a carving knife, a chef’s knife, and a filleting knife, all neatly

USB Flash Drives – The Wonder Of Portable Apps

A Standard USB Flash Drive With Blue Trim

I like to think of myself as a technology enthusiast. I follow the latest tech trends posted on sites like wired, I buy the latest video cards to run games I’ll never actually get around to playing, and I research the newest Android builds so that I’m well versed in cell phones that I’ll never actually buy. That’s why I find it so humorous that I’ve never owned and made use of a magical little device called a usb flash drive.

I recently  decided that instead of using Dropbox to store and sync my files – a messy business in and of itself – that I would instead start hauling them around on a usb thumb drive. This allows me to keep important business documents away from the prying eyes of the various covert agencies trying to acquire them, and well, it’s just a lot more convenient than having to install Dropbox on every computer I want to use to use my files.

I waited in line for two hours on Friday to pick up an iPad 2- not for myself, but I’m a good friend and kept my friend company who just had to have the latest Apple has to offer.  If you were also lucky (or crazy) enough to pick up an Apple iPad 2, you’re going to need to protect that baby, and since the covers at the Apple store left much to be desired, we have another solution for you.  The Minoit Real Wood iPad 2 cover not only protects your iPad but it has a cool, sophisticated look to it.

Sony-S1-And-S2-Tablets

It seems like ages ago when you’d mention the word “Tablet” and the last thing that would come to mind would be the iPad.  But it has only been a year or so since we were introduced to the electronic gadget referred to as the “tablet” and it seems every electronic gadgets manufacturer wants a piece of the pie.  The latest contender is Sony with their Sony S1 and Sony S2 Android powered tablets.

Sony hasn’t announced official prices for the S1 and S2 tablets yet, but some websites are estimating the S1 tablet to go for around $599 and the S2 tablet for $699.  The S1 tablet comes in the more familiar size and is shaped to look like a folded magazine; it features a 9.4” screen.  The S2 tablet comes with dual 5.5” 1024 x 480 screens that fold for easy storage and makes it a lot more convenient to carry in your coat pocket.

With the current state of the economy and ever decreasing faith in the stock markets and world currencies, many (smart) investors are turning to gold and silver as a way to preserve their wealth.  However, there are a lot of people who consider these metals to be barbaric relics (or “tradition”, as helicopter Bernanke would call it).  But what if we bring these “barbaric relics” to the 21st century, would that change your mind?

We present you the Gold Ingot USB Memory stick.  This cool looking USB stick combines what men have fought wars over for centuries, with one of most useful modern gadgets.  This USB stick not only protects your data but also your wealth.  Well, not really your wealth because the USB stick is only shaped like a gold brick and is actually made out of wood and is coated with gold-leaf from Kanazawa City, Japan.
