Now you know when CNN has this toy on its Most Dangerous Toys list it just has to be a kick. I’m almost thinking if I they had those lists when I was a kid, I’d ready it just to know what toys to buy.
Seriously now, we should all be careful when purchasing what could be dangerous toys. And just remember to always wear protective gear. Just because the kid on the box doesn’t have a helmet on doesn’t mean you should too.
Ok, warning done. These look like fun, never tried them, and there is no indication on how high you might go. It’s nice to see that these come in different sizes for a snug fit, have rubber high-traction tread, and they are a bit pricey so most kidos just won’t go out and buy them without parental knowledge.
So, as the website reads: get out there and bounce like a gazelle, BUT BE SAFE.

Is your CEO, CIO, or CTO better on the golf course then you?Do you really want to mess with their minds?If you get away with this, you might just get a raise!
Here is a great way to have some clean fun on the golf course—a radio controled golf ball. Just think, right before your boss hits that 5 foot put, you take action and take control of his golf ball. Now you will have to figure out how to make the switch before he puts, but I’m sure you’ve gotten his attention before. I would suggest taking control of the ball AFTER they make the put and put some interesting curves to miss the cup. Or, if you want that raise, you just might make it circle the cup and go in. |

I remember the days when we had to wear those big bulky headsets just to listen to music while we tried to partake in sporting events. Those days are over with an MP3 player built into sunglasses. There are no wires hanging off as everything IS built into the plastic frames. Quick play buttons, flip-up eyeware to clear vision, and earphone speakers that swivel allow you a fully customizable fit where you can easily tune-in or tune-out of your environment.
Some of the features I like:
- Premium audio sound
- 4 hours playtime – not too bad
- adjustible fit
- 100% UVA and UVB
- Lithium-Ion battery with USB re-charge socket
Find these at The Gadget Box

I don’t know about you, but when I go to watch golf I get quite a workout. But in a blind effort to catch all my favorite golfers I end up missing so much more. After all there ARE more than 3-5 golfers out there, aren’t there?
Well, Kangaroo TV has teamed up with the PGA Tour to offer a high-tech gadget (hand-held TV) that will allow you to catch ALL of the golf regardless of where you are—even in the bathroom or suffering from heatstroke in the back of an ambulance. This little device obviously comes with earphones, and a screen. BUT also provides scoring and statistics by pressing a button or two—actually bringing you closer to the game than any scoreboard could do.
But you will have to head over to Kangaroo TV, register, and reserve your TV soon. Also available are subscriptions for other sporting events.

No more fumbling around with a standard digital camera, dropping it, banging it against a rock, or not being able to see properly when looking through the viewfinder.
Liquid Image has combined an underwater mask with a digital camera for near hands-free digital fun underwater. This mask will not only take pictures but video as well. The mask takes two AAA batteries, has a USB port for easy download, and is waterproof to 15 feet.
It might not be perfect for chasing those Great Whites but is sure to be fun in your backyard pool or a day at the beach.
