The GoateeSaver has got to be a time saver. I totally enjoy my goatee, but I hate getting the sides straight and even when it has grown out too long. I also usually shave the whole thing off, if I booger up the sides as well. Then all of the chubby kid jokes come out of the wood work.

BigDog is a level of robotics like I have never seen. Not that I see a lot of robotics in a typical day, but Boston Dynamics is doing some stuff with robotics that is off the hook!
"BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others."

It's not evryday that you witness someone playing fetch with an 8ft. eagle. It comes with a price, but you'll have to watch the video to see what I mean. Pretty freakin' cool!
The LiveScribe Smart Pen is something that I wish I would have had when I started my Master's program. The Gadgeteer has a very thorough review of the LiveScribe Smart Pen.
CrimnalSearches.com is an interesting site. A previous blog, Family Watch Dog + Google Maps, talks about a site to find sex offenders in your neighborhood. It's interesting just to see who and where peeps who have been caught doing bad are in your neighborhood.
