High Tech Note Writing

Writing notes is so passé. Looking for a better way to pass messages around the house or office? Maybe it is time for dinner and you want to tell the kids. Or maybe your office mate asked you a question via email and you are looking for a humorous approach to answering. Sticky notes are no fun. Let's use technology instead!

Brookstone has the perfect device for creative messaging – the Skywriter UFO. This is no ordinary flying device, resembling a pod rather than a plane. Program in up to about 20 words (170 characters) via the IR controller and let it take off. You control the flight pattern. LED technology displays your message via the fast moving propeller while in midair so you can communicate in a whole new way.  The controller requires 6 AAA batteries. But the UFO itself will automatically recharge its lithium-polymer battery through the controller. And the Skywriter UFO can be used by most of the family as it is safe for kids 8 or older. Brookstone features this programmable flyer for $34.99. Whether you need a new way to say "Happy Birthday" or a subtle colleague reminder of "Time for Lunch" or any other creative method of getting your message across the Skywriter UFO adds a new twist to communicating with others.

A True Outdoorsy i-Phone Case

To many smartphone users, the need for outdoor activities far outweighs the value of their phone. Sure, they need a phone for pics or to communicate but protecting it won't stand between them and the slopes, bike trails and the like. Knowing the phone is at risk, an investment in an appropriate case seems a no brainer.

Hitcase developed a perfect solution. Their Hitcase and Hitcase Pro cases for iPhone 4 and 4S (5 coming soon!) offer shock and water protection plus mounting options. Their ShockSeal system gives ample protection for the inevitable blow and their ShockPad cushions the phone and keeps it in place within the case. So yes, you can still type with ease on the protective screen. Of course the units are waterproof too – really sealing your phone off from the world. Outdoorsmen (and women) will have no problem affixing their phone to just about anything with the GoPro® mount and their 360 sticky mount. And for the real photographer the Hitcase Pro includes a wide angle lens built in. Hitcase currently sells for $89.99 with the Pro model at $129.99 on their website. So sure, the investment is more – but don't let technology stand in the way of enjoying the trails.

MSI GX60 gaming notebook

When it comes to gaming notebooks, there seems to be one constant equation that remains in the picture – the gaming notebook is not only large and bulky, it is also heavy to tote around, hence we do not recommend you bring a gaming notebook if you are going to cover a show like CES on your own – your back will thank you for it, and I admit that toting around an Ultrabook or MacBook Air makes a whole lot more sense (as well as make you look more stylish, for sure!). Well, folks who cannot tear themselves away from their gaming adventures while they are on the go can settle for the MSI GX60 gaming notebook, where it is touted to armed with state of the art components.

For instance, you will be able to find AMD Trinity A10 quad-core processors underneath the hood, accompanied by the AMD Radeon HD 7970M GPU, a Killer E2200 Game Networking and Steel Series Gaming Keyboard, making it more than the ideal choice for gamers who want a machine that not only delivers high-performance, and yet it does not burn that large a hole in your pockets or deplete your bank account in the blink of an eye.

As a member of MSI's award-winning G Series of gaming notebooks, the MSI GX60 is no slouch, delivering exceptional gaming experience thanks to a combination of high-performance components and proprietary technology. WIth MSI's exclusive TDE (GPU Overclocking) Cooler Boost Technology, you are able to enjoy one-touch performance boost while AMD's Eyefinity, a stereoscopic 3D technology, prepares the path ahead for users to run multiple independent display outputs – all of it simultaneously.

Available from this week onwards, the MSI GX60 will be equipped with a Blu-ray disc reader, a 1920×1080 anti-reflection screen which further reduces eyestrain while widening the field of view, a 9-cell battery that ought to be suitable for extended mobile gaming sessions, and gold coated audio jacks (Audio Boost) for crystal clear and high fidelity sound among others. Are you interested in picking one up for yourself?

Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case

If you happen to own a smartphone and yet are an adrenaline junkie yourself, then you might be interested to hear about the Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case, which was developed in partnership with iStabilizer. Just what the heck does the Optrix XD Sport Wide-Angle action case do? For starters, it was specially designed to be able to transform the iPhone 4, 4S and iPod touch into an extreme wide-lens camera, as users will be able to delight in the Glidepro handheld video stabilizer, rugged flexible Dolly, extendable Monopod and Flex Tripod to it's stable of accessories and mounts.

John Willenborg, founder of Optrix, said, "Although the XD Sports Case is military grade and rugged enough to withstand almost any condition, it is also the perfect iPhone case for photography enthusiasts. Our new line of accessories gives both photography novices and professionals even more options to capture their memories while keeping their device safe."

The Glidepro Hand Stabilizer is ideal to capture smooth and steady videos just about anywhere, where it does away with the shakes that are normally associated with hand-held filming. Not only that, it uses similar technology that is found in professional filmmaking equipment. Apart from that, there is the Dolly Flexible Roller that is perfect for tracking shots, time lapse, artistic work and capturing travel videos, and large wheels help provide smooth movement, while the presence of 11" adjustable arm paves the way for one to shoot via unique angles and positions.

Last but not least, the Monopod Extendable Arm is suitable for self-portraits, high/low angles, self-videos and POV shots, where its extendable arm provides access to hard to reach camera angles and positions. Sporting a lightweight portable design, it can extend itself up to 3 feet. It does sound as though you are spoilt for choice, so which would you settle for?

Star Wars Holiday Lights

So, your beloved Star Wars movie franchise has just been bought over from Disney, and you can more or less say that Ariel and Leia can duke it out for the sexiest princess title considering the kind of suits that they wore in the past. Perhaps for this Christmas or holiday season, you might want to bring some Star Wars cheer to your home, and how do you do exactly that without any outside help? Fret not, Thinkgeek is to the rescue yet again with the $29.99 Star Wars Holiday Lights, allowing you to light your tree with friends and allies from a galaxy far, far away.

There are 10 lights on each string, with individual strings measuring up to 138 inches in length. It is rather unfortunate that one cannot choose from the Dark Side of the Force, presumably because the Light Side of the Force is in a far more grammatically correct position. You can select from either Yoda or R2-D2 to light up your room, and we do recommend you have a healthy mix of space-related ornaments as well as other Yuletide decorations.

Shirt Shuttle MK2

So much for the war cry, "Cease and desist!" but rather, with the £34.99 Shirt Shuttle MK2, you will be able to see creases desist – for good. Frequent travelers, especially business people who tend to pack in those working shirts that look best when pressed or ironed, will definitely find the Shirt Shuttle MK2 to be worth every single shilling that they forked out for. After all, you have put in your fair share of effort in ironing your clothes, so why waste all of the hard work by placing the crisp shirt into your suitcase, only to have it doomed?

With the Shirt Shuttle MK2, all you need to do is fold your shirt, and attach it to the Shirt Shuttle MK2 for a crease-free journey right up ahead. There are soft rounded edges to support your shirt, and you need not apply too much pressure to a particular spot, and your shirt will be more than ready to hang upon your arrival. As long as you follow the easy folding instructions carefully, you will be able to look extremely stylish when you step out of your hotel room, ready for the night's pleasantries. The board itself fits inside the travel case in a jiffy, while pads ensure that the shirt remains in place. There is a recessed carrying handle, and the entire shebang is waterproof and secure – what more can you ask for?
