Tired of trying to explain which cable is which over the phone when trying to help someone with their tech issues? Here is one solution to that problem that I have found helps my clients. Now I just say “unplug the cable marked with the green disc.” If they decide to do a little rearranging, not a problem, this solution also has matching stickers to place on each port so they will know where each cable should be connected. A starter set of 10 reusable dotz is just $10.

Have something caught in your Astro-Droid or perhaps you need to adjust the Heisenberg Compensator or maybe a lug nut came loose on your ‘73 VW. What ever the task, bring a little bit of the future to it with the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench from ThinkGeek.

“To adjust the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench, just open the valve, fit around the nut or bolt of your choice, and push the gripper on the opposite end. It will compress the liquid which will, in turn, push the gripper on the end you want. Once it is snug against the bolt, close the valve and your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is locked into position. It’s that easy! The slim heads of the wrench will let you sneak it into tight spaces, and the design of the grip will help you turn even damaged nuts and bolts.”

Looking for a more distinctive way of lighting up your home’s front walkway? Minimis, a design company out of Austin Texas, has created a unique lighting system. The CATWALK LED outdoor walkway system is a modular steel with white translucent polycarbonate and random-pattern LEDs. According to Minimis, “Each CATWALK panel costs only $2 per year to power, if illuminated 24 x 7 x 365.”

They aren’t inexpensive at $180 for a 2′x2′ module, $320 for a 2′x4′ module and $580 for the 4′x4′ module.

CATWALK is also available with an addressable RGB LED array, enabling you to program colorful light shows, cycle through the entire color spectrum, cycle through warm hues, cycle through cool hues, hold a static color, or accommodate custom-programmed sequences.

Now that you can order Pizza from your TiVo without even getting up, you might not have the strength to throw a paper airplane. Not to worry, the folks at Urban Outfitters have come to the rescue with a solution that costs billions less than NASA’s launch systems, $18 to be specific.

According to Urban Outfitters it was invented at Middlesex University and can fling folded paper up to 30 mph. While this may not be safe for younger children, or certain co-workers, it can be quite educational if properly supervised.
