Cargo electric.
The Oxygen Cargo Electric Scooter. If’n you’re in Amsterdam order a Dominos’ Pizza and one of these is likely to turn up. Apparently. Swiftly silently and very ecologically.

Read MoreDeep Burner.
Deep Burner. Free and very useful CD burning software. I’m so fed up with progs like Nero which can’t even do a simple thing like burn a bootable DS Linux CD without pfaffing about for hours working out the interface. Try this instead.
Read MorePlasma Pencil.
The Plasma Pencil. Apparently these ‘miniature light sabres’ can kill bacteria and may well one day be in common use in dentists. Righty ho, I’m definitely going to sit there and let some guy wave one of these puppies in the direction of me tonsils. Oh yes I will. The five-centimetre-long plasma plume is generated when a stream of helium gas containing a trace of oxygen passes between two high-voltage copper electrodes. Helium is very difficult to ionize, but the plume’s…

You know, just to shout out my defiance to the world at large. Then I pull myself together and remember that I am, after all, there by choice. $119.95. This is a perfect amplifier for conference, classroom, field trip, tourist guide ,church,…
Read MoreRambo mambo.
The V-RAMBO. The Ferret does not enjoy popularising tools of death, but this is really beyond. A wrist mounted LCD monitor named after some sly bandana-clad dork – aka the Video Receiver And Monitor for Battlefield Operations – which lets the poor sap infantryman watch South Park battlefield conditions prior to rushing out and shooting at something. If we spent as much time and money on making happy gingerbread bunnies…. The exceptionally small and compact unit receives and displays real-time video images captured by a UAV or other airborne,…
