From Boing Boing this morning: The Tiny DV Camera Recorder.

From the sellers site:

Features:

Now I like the idea of something this small with all of those functions.  Keeps it small, out of the way, and not so noticable.  One thing I would wonder about though would be durability in the field.  At $147 it isn’t too bad on the cost factor – but would it stand up to hard use?  Particular application I am thinking is for my fire department.  Now inside of a structure fire, wouldn’t anticipate that going so well, but what about wildland fire conditions?  Smoke, dirt, grit, and just the moving around might be hard on it. However, any “tough” DV camera I usually see tends to be at least twice the cost.  Oh well.

This stuff might be overkill… personally I use a can of compressed air and a damp cloth.  However, for some, this might be required: Cyber Clean!

You take out the goo and mash it onto your keyboard.  The goo then apparently absorbs all the grime and crummies that have gotten in there.  It does look kind of neat – so might be worth trying out.

So go check it out here and see what you think!  (Originally from TechEBlog.)

These tiny coins that look like quarters can be used to hold the small microSD cards.  They can be picked up from ThinkGeek.

While it sounds like a neat idea… I can tell you this.  IF I had one, I am pretty sure my microSD card would have a much greater chance of getting lost.  It just would.

I just couldn’t help but repost this one.  Today’s Dilbert, I think we have all experienced at the office.  Perhaps even the words “oooo shiny!” have been uttered.

I fully blame the invention of RSS Feeds for lost productivity.  (While also bowing to their greatness.)

The coolest case mod I have seen in a while — for only $84.99!

I was expecting more like $150 for the features (posted below) and look of this case. Anyone building a new box might want to check this one out. Good deal and sweet case.
