Don’t worry, the Twilight Watch isn’t some watch for all the fans of the movie Twilight. No, this watch is about the actual twilight, you know, like the time of the day or rather night in this case. It’s an interesting watch that is meant to remind you of the miracle that is the sunrise. Plus it’s made to be a little extra durable, for those that have the tendency to drop their watch in water or just forget to take it off before jumping into a pool.
The watch can stay water resistant up to 100 feet under the water. It’s not entirely waterproof, so you will have to be a little extra careful. At least it does have some protection though. The face of the watch will slowly fade to black throughout the day and keep brightening back up again, it changes about every 20 seconds. It has two polarized disks that rotate to show this effect. You can purchase it for $119.99 from Think Geek.

The other day, I happen to notice that the sides of my body are getting flabby. You might not be able to tell when I am wearing a shirt, but these side fat folds are clearly visible if I?m in my bathing suit.
Fortunately, technology is here to help me. The Ript Fusion undershirt has material made of polyester and spandex blend that can somehow compress my flab into some nicely sculpted abs.
The rest of the shirt is made of cotton, and I am not certain how well this works. I believe that most health experts will say that no technology of any kind is a substitute for diet and exercise.
Yeah, I have my doubts whether this thing will work. Maybe the truth is that the Ript isn?t supposed to make you into the physique of Charles Atlas, but just make you look that way. It does look like the undershirt that Bruce Willis wore in the first Die Hard movie. Actually, I think he wore a tank top, and I can?t remember if he had a good physique in that movie.
Well, if you are willing to try something a little different, then you should be able to purchase it at Ript Fusion from their website in two styles: the Men?s Crew Neck and Men?s V-Neck.

Road warriors, listen up! Here’s the MoGo Talk Bluetooth headset that will definitely change the way you look at such peripherals ever again. It comes in a somewhat similar form factor as other MoGo products (especially mice), as it can fold down flat into a rectangle that fits nicely into your ExpressCard slot on a notebook, getting juiced whenever it is not in use to make sure that you won’t ever run into situations where an important phone call is cut off halfway no thanks to an empty battery on your headset. The MoGo Talk is able to remain on standby for over a week on a full charge, while it comes with a flexible thin rubber ear tip that will conform to the shape of your ear, helping block out noise as well. If you’re interested in picking this up, it will be available later this August for $99 a pop.

Love the Alienware M17x? Well, if you’ve always wanted that high end computer but don’t really like the color it comes in, there is hope for you just yet. This time round, the M17x will be available in Nebula Red, where it falls under the banner of a Special Edition, boasting a fiery new color that envelops its anodized aluminum exterior. This is a clear departure from the traditional black color, and red often signifies blood – that of your opponents, we hope, in view of the Alienware M17x’s superior hardware characteristics that would put many other desktop gaming PCs to shame. All it takes is another $99 on top of the M17x purchase price and you’ll be able to turn black to red.

Not everyone is allowed to have a dog in their home, which is disappointing at times. For those that miss having an over excited pooch, this bank might help you out. I know, it’s just a bank, but it’s the cutest bank I’ve ever seen. It has an adorable robotic dog on top that will never fail to make you chuckle at least a little. Especially the way he gobbles up the coins you drop in his bowl.
If you’d like to see him in action, you can check out the video on the seller’s website. When you toss some coins into his bowl, he immediately goes to work. Instead of swallowing them up himself though, he knocks them down a hole that is at the very back of his dog bowl. This is a Japan product, but thankfully the Japan Trend Shop will ship this worldwide and for one very flat rate. You can purchase him for $50 and then the shipping will cost you an extra $18. You’ll have to preorder him though, because he’s not available until the 30th of November.

Finally, someone has come out with a digital picture frame that gives the user a little something different than the average settings. The Sondata Shake-A-Pix uses technology that is reminiscent of the Sansa Shaker. Instead of shaking the device to go to the next MP3, you shake the frame to see your latest memory. (Be sure to read that last sentence aloud, because it has a very cool rhyme.)
According to the Product Page, the 2.4 inch TFT display is the world?s first digital photo frame to contain motion sensors that allow for its unique feature. Generally, I?m always suspicious when someone says ?world?s first?, but the fact is the Shake-A-Pix has 64 MB worth of memory, which is enough for about 90 images in 320 x 240 pixel resolution.
Since it is the size of a credit card and slim (0.6 cm), it can be carried with you for a quick photo show. It even includes a neck strap for an ever-changing necklace. It also includes a USB cable for downloading photos, and presumably for recharging the battery.
You should be able to purchase the Sondata Shake-A-Pix at the aptly named Find Me a Gift site for about £22.50 ($36.64).

If you are one of those meticulously organized types who require a printed label for everything that you own, then you are probably very familiar with Dymo. I had a chance to try out the Dymo LabelWriter 450, and I am surely tempted to label everything in my home, my city, and the world!
As you can see by the photo, the LabelWriter 450 comes with two spools for printing. This second roll can be used as a backup in case your primary printing roll runs out, or for printing large batches faster by loading two rolls of up to the same label. I?ve heard that you can print up to 71 labels a minute.
The best part about it is that no expensive ink or toner is required. According to the QuickStart Guide, the LabelWriter ?uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy?.
Set up for the LabelWriter was very simple. All I had to do is insert the software, which took quite a while to download programs that it needed to use the LabelWriter 450. It was very specific about not plugging in the printer into the USB drive until all the software was installed. Once I plugged it in, my computer recognized it right away, and I printed my first address label in seconds.
The Dymo LabelWriter 450 comes with a roll of Stamp labels and a roll of address labels. It is available for purchase off the DYMO site for about $210.
