The Laptop Vest has just enough room for the essentials

When you carry a big bag, it’s hard not to stuff it full of things that aren’t a must-have during the day, but keep around anyway for just in case scenarios. Most days, you really just need your laptop, charger, and day planner, with space somewhere for your keys and wallet. However, finding a bag that will accommodate this small amount of items without having more pockets and compartments than necessary isn’t the easiest.
If you want to travel with the least amount of literal baggage as possible, the Laptop Vest might be your new favorite backpack. This looks more like a bulletproof vest than anything, but this breathable neoprene and air mesh backpack will be able to store your laptop, as well as whatever else you can fit in the other two zippered compartments. It has a water resistant exterior, is stain resistant, and can be tossed in the washing machine. You will want to leave it out to drip dry though, lest you want to destroy it.
There are three compartments in all, with an additional shoulder pocket. This can be adjusted to fit comfortably thanks to a sternum strap, and it’s thin enough that it can fit under your coat. It is said that this can hold anywhere from a 10-15 inch laptop, but that remains to be seen. This will cost you $25, and is available in black or green. This seems like it would be useful for walking commuters who occasionally have to deal with inclement weather, and wish they had a bag that could be fully covered by an umbrella or coat without making them look like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

The Cooling Mist Fan will keep you cool as a cucumber

During the winter months, we can add layers, start up a fire, turn on the heat, or a variety of other options when we’re cold. When it’s hot out, there are only so many layers you can take off. All we can hope for is the air conditioning to work, and lots of cold water.

Xplore XC6 ultra rugged tablet review

I know that we just took a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 LTE yesterday, and here we are with yet another tablet that might just interest you – assuming your work environment is a whole lot harsher compared to the regular office drone. Of course, while the average tablet is not exactly waterproof, and neither are they able to stand up to all kinds of abuses, here is the Xplore XC6 ultra rugged tablet that will be able to take plenty of punishment – and then some, shrugging it off like nothing happened.

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

Nokia are most renowned for their mobile phones but that may soon change with the up and coming release of the new Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

The GUI is controlled via stylus (like PDAs) which for browsing the web might work quite well as you’ll just need to drag the page around and tap links to follow them.

It runs on Linux and can be used to browse the web at broadband speed via it’s inbuilt Wi-Fi or when Wi-Fi isn’t available you could connect using any compatible blue tooth phone.

It’s due for release in the third quarter of 2005 and I can see it being on a lot of gadget freak Santa lists shortly after that. If you want more info check out the official site

Domo Toaster

Some cartoon characters have this universal appeal of cuteness, and I guess you can say that the Domo-kun is one of them, being this brown colored, rectangular character with a mouth that is almost as large as its body itself, armed with a pair of legs and an equal number of arms. If you happen to be a purveyor of all things Domo-kun, then you might be interested to check out the $39.99 Domo Toaster, which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face every morning each time you dig into your morning toast!

The Domo Toaster will come with 5 toasting settings, where it is capable of browning a couple of slices at any one time. Do bear in mind that this is an officially licensed product, so use it without any frills or concern that it is going to explode in your face suddenly just because it is a bootleg or poor imitation without any quality control built in during the manufacturing process. Depending on the toaster setting that you choose, you can slightly brown or even scorch Domo’s lovely face onto your toast for that perfect start to the day.
