The T-Qualizer used a thin layer of electroluminescence that picks up sound beats and react like a graphic equalizer of a stereo.

Meant to be perfect for clubs, parties, or just to impressing your friends who might run away or drop theirs jaws at your talents. Comes in classic, red-hot, cool-blue, purple, or green. These sure are nostalgic. US$34.99

Yet another attempt to make time chaotic. These independent blocks show LED numbers, when put in order you get the current time but when put in disorder that's exactly what you get - a disordered set of numbers. Artsy decoration? Yes. Practical use as a clock - eh maybe not so much. However the concept is very intriguing. US$89.00.

Check out this stainless steel beauty for your toothpaste dispensing. This device attaches to your bathroom wall tiles with suction cup and can acomodate all sizes of toothpaste tubes. With no battery required (using some kind of X-Pump mechanism) you insert your toothbrush in the bottom opening and depending on how hard you push equal amounts of toothpaste is dispensed. A bit of a steep price for US$59.95 but hey this is being sold at Sharper Image so the high price is not surprising to me. Check it out.

When you couldn't think toilet paper could be re-invented, Renova went and did it, well sort of. These soft, elegant 3-ply, fragrance bath tissue paper come in colors. Yes you heard that right, in color. The maker claims that these have been tested under dermatological and gynecological control and are biodegradable soothing tissues that do not bleed any color. The new york times calls it "This season's must-have". Price $150 for 45 rolls. That's the minimum amount you can order. Currently available in black but other colors are on the way. If you just cannot get enough fashion in your bathroom then go for these. Frankly I myself will save that $150 towards the rumored iPod phone.

This desktop clock comes with your standard time features - time, date, alarm, calendar, & meteorological measure. The WOW factor is its ability to display upto 22 pictures in a slideshow format. Running on 2XAAA batteries, you transfer pictures using USB cable and software from you PC onto it and simply let it go. I wonder if you can turn off the slideshow to conserve battery power, if not I can see the need to change batteries every couple weeks. Even though it is not an LCD digital frame, for an office desk where daydreaming is not allowed, this comes closest to an approved method of distraction. US$69.26

I'm no skate-boarder, but if someone would buy me this, I could surely top Tony Hawks. Well maybe not top him, but I could surely roll in style. This quiet and so called environment friendly Usurfer U70 is an electric
power board with a hand controller for throttle and brake. For US$700 its a hefty price but I feel its well worth it.

This styling mailbox adorns the front of your home with a welcoming feel that says, " put mail in me and let others see what's inside, break my glass and you've got someone else's mail". Funny stuff aside, this mailbox is more an art decor than a safety mail box. What's the point in havin a lock on it if the glass is breakable, I also don't know if I would like anyone to see (despite the frosty glass) what's inside. This envelope mailbox from Chia'sso can be your's for US$68.

This sun-visor mounted bluetooth speakerphone is not a new technology. This bluetooth gizmo dubbed Supertooth II is meanth to 'pair' with your bluetooth enabled phone to give you complete handsfree duplex speaking plesure while you drive. It comes with a rechargable lithium ion battery that is claimed to give you 20hrs talk time and 800hrs of standby time. US$129.99. There are competing models that could be found cheaper and I feel for that much money they could have designed some sexy curves on this thing. Although a very useful tool for many who spend a lot of hours in their car, I would recommend buying this if or when the price drop to under $100.

With claims such as "...a revolutionary new way to wear and listen to your iPod®" this little baseball hat that can carry your ipod with some wire management, has some big heads to fill. I personally don't see the revolution in this, however I do admit saying, "..why didn't I think about that?". The iSoundCap™ is designed to hold the iPod® Nano and the iPod® Shuffle™ in a tight compartment stitched right into the cap. It even has a tight sleeve for the wires and a spool to keep these neatly wrapped up. US$29.95 and comes in black or white. I would buy one.
