The pen is mightier than the...bullet. Hrm. Not sure how this will make your life better other than just enjoying the peculiarity, but, I should warn you, if you plan on taking this pen to work, be prepared for some alarmed looks (and a possible body slam or two) if you tend to fidget a lot at your desk

Himalayan Salt Plate

Freshly cut from ancient mineral deposits, hand-cut blocks of translucent pink salts can be used for cooking meats, fish and more. They conduct heat beautifully, lending foods a wonderful depth of flavor.

Use them on the grill, in the oven, or chill them for a beautiful way to serve sushi, appetizers and more. Himalayan salt blocks are naturally anti-microbial and easy to clean without detergent. Just scrub the surface with a brush, pat dry, then air dry to use again and again. Product of Pakistan. 8" x 12" x 1½"; 11 lbs.

Because Himalayan salt blocks are a natural product, each individual block will reveal its own unique color and characteristic patterns with exposure to heat over time.

Bullet Pen .375 Magnum:

I used one of these just last week.  Cannot remember for the life of me who had it.  I think it was either a driver or a mechanic at work.  I want one.

Thumb drives are a convenient and cool way to carry around your data, and with drive sizes in the gigabytes, you can store a ton of photos, files, music, and video in a very tiny space. Unfortunately, due to their small sizes, they are targets for information thieves.

Think about it - all that personal data - your resume, email, password-files, and pictures of your girlfriend (wink) can be picked up and copied and returned before you even noticed it was missing. You want to have this data handy, but handy for you and not for that scumbag down the hall with the sticky fingers.

Like you, the US Military wanted portable but secure storage, and the guys at IronKey stepped up. They've developed the perfect solution that's one-part thumb-drive, and two parts Mission: Impossible. Their thumb drives hold up to 8 Gigabytes of data, but includes a hardware encryption chip that scrambles the data so as to be completely unreadable without a password.

Passwords can be hacked, but not the IronKey. It's built to withstand attacks both virtual and physical. 10 incorrect password attempts, and the encryption chip self-destructs, making the contents of the flash drive totally unreadable. The contents of the drive are filled with epoxy, so if a hacker tries to physically access the chips, he'd more likely damage them instead. Even if he did get access to the memory chips, they'd be worthless without the encryption chip. Electron-shielded, even a scanning electron microscope can't get inside.

Applications built right onto the IronKey help keep your personal data safe. For example, the password manager keeps your passwords safe. How? Your passwords are securely stored in a hidden hardware-encrypted area inside the device (and not in the drive's file system), being first locally encrypted with 256-bit AES, using randomly generated keys encrypted with a SHA-256 hash of your device password. All of this data is then doubly encrypted with 128-bit AES hardware encryption. Hack that.

A secure copy of Firefox included with your IronKey encrypts your browsing session through a VPN tunnel to IronKey's Secure Sessions Service. It works by tunneling your entire web browsing communications through the Tor-based Secure Sessions proxy on your IronKey. The Secure Sessions tunnel connects over an encrypted connection to their network routing servers, which in turn route your traffic between a number of servers, and then eventually out to your destination website. This approach protects your identity and your confidentiality, encrypting and anonymizing your Web surfing on almost any network or VPN (virtual private network).

These drives have already seen duty in Afghanistan, keeping US Military secrets safe from unsavory people. They're certainly good enough even for your most sensitive data.

Godfather Spaghetti Measuring Device
http://charlesandmarie.com/lifestyle-gems/todays-soupe-du-jour/product/godfather-spaghetti-measuring-device/?tx_ttproducts_pi1%5BbackPID%5D=321&tstmp=1228186822

We've mentioned it often enough, we're suckers for gadgets and we adore kitchen contraptions, with that said, how could we not jump on this product?


It's similar to the fabulous Noooodle, but lacks the trivet 'functionality' that our current fave Noooodle provided. But then again, the Godfather adds some street cred, looking like some good old brass knuckles – hence the name... But don't get us wrong, this beauty is primarily used to measure the amount of Spaghetti you'll need, not to intimidate anybody. And at measuring it does a great job, not so much at intimidating people, it's just a wee bit to thin for that. Bit then again, we wouldn't want anybody to get hurt in the kitchen...

Any other skymall fans here?  I used to travel all the time for work and I was a huge skymall shopper.  The hotdog toaster rocks.

[Krandall]

I almost bought one of those!!!!

[socalrappy700]

It really works!  I just wish it could hold a bigger dog (I know where your mind went) but it doesn't fit the larger hotdogs we get from costco.

[socalrappy700]

Another fav.
