I’maspeaker. No you’re not. Yes I am so. No you’re not, you’re a 24 capacity CD case. Aha, yes true, but I’ve also got a pair of NXT flat panel speakers stitched into my case covers. So there. And I cost $34.99 for the stereo model. Yah, you little poser.

Mike and the cool crew at Gizmo have put up an interesting review of some future technologies for the automobile that Volkswagen are working on. Things like automatic braking systems, lane departure warnings and traffic sign recognition systems. Sheesh, let’s face it, very soon these things are going to be driving themselves.

Musicplasma is a rather Flash heavy online music search application, based around a very very cool music association feature. Enter in a favourite artist and it will come back with a selection of artists which are similar. It actually works quite well, and what’s more also links seamlessly to Amazon’s musicsampler feature so you can listen to sample tracks of the artists automatically. ‘The closer the artists are, musically speaking, the closer from each other [sic] they will be displayed…

Snakster – ‘a powerful cookbook program that redefines how people will get their recipes. Snackster.net is the world’s best peer to peer recipe sharing program. Unlike other popular file sharing networks Snackster.net is dedicated to only cooking.’ Now that’s what I call Pea2Pea.

Not just an on-screen Flash clock, but also an alarm and timer all in one. Comprehensive, Maude.

Hmm, the EZBuddie PC has one unique feature. It sports a CPU ‘speedometer’ and ‘accelerator’. Just turn the knob on the front of the case to increase or decrease the speed of the system’s processor (but keep an eye on the instrument panel for overheating!). Sounds crazy, but one for the game boys methinks!

Where you’ll find a free program ‘to recover digital photos accidentally deleted from digital camera memory….Generally, program should work with any media type (e.g. CompactFlash, MemoryStick, SmartMedia and so on)…’

The Little Jammer meets Kenwood product from Bandai is a music machine which comes with a teeny 5 piece robot band which ‘plays along’ with a set of cartridge based jazz tracks. It also doubles as an alarm clock. More at the product site here. [Babel] Around 21,000 yen ($195.00).

AutoSize – A freeware program to automatically resize all JPEG photos in a directory for use as thumbnails or emailing.

From the same people that brought you the Inflatable Church, comes the Ski Extreme Machine. Six foot in diameter, 10 foot high, 2 powered fans with artificial snow with a full blown Alpine Racer 2 arcade ski console inside. Goggles optional. Fun for all the family.

The GGSearch Tool is a free clever multi-lingual search tool which adds lots of very funky features to standard searches – like Feedster blog searches, translation, and over 20 other search criteria options.

The iTagg service could either be a genius business play, or a potentially naff mobile phone number harvester for spam. It is basically a sort of premium rate SMS response service, which offers information request/distribution via a short SMS code and keyword. I tend towards thinking it could be quite useful if not abused. ‘Acting like a mobile domain name, every person and every business can now have their own unique keyword (or iTAGG) on a five digit shortcode for…
