If you are a frequent visitor to CG odds are that you have tinkered with something in your life. Maybe you tried to make your mom's frying pan into a flying saucer. Or maybe you created a robot that would take your clothes to the hamper. Not all of the tinkering succeeds. But our minds keep trying! Meet Hans Andersson, a Swedish gentlemen who bought his daughters a LEGO® Mindstorm kit a few years back. They did not take to the kit, but Hans did, and created some new robots. A few years later – after creating a Rubik's Cube solver and Sudoku solver – he tried a LEGO clock. He has now revised the Time Twister and posted a look at Time Twister 2. It is sort of a LCD looking clock made entirely of LEGO. Watch the video below to see it in action, but envision digit segments connected in a chain. The start of the chain must keep spinning – in either direction – until the last segment is in place. Why? Only one motor is required per digit. Digits are created using LEGO Mindstorms NXT Intelligent Bricks. Time Twister 2 looks much more stylish that the original. So perhaps Hans will gain some attention with this go around. Maybe we will be able to buy one of his creations someday. But if nothing else, let's applaud Mr. Andersson on his mastery of something we all appreciate – tinkering.

Take a lesson from a pro and they will tell you something different than the previous guy did. Invest in a new driver, said to give you more distance, only to realize your lack of swing talent will prevent it. Heck, even tour pros have issues. Eyeline Golf creates training tools to help golfers of any ability. Their product lineup helps golfers focus on putting and swing with everything from aids to books and videos and has been featured in Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and the Golf Channel among others.  Here are a couple we think could help your game – or the game of someone on your shopping list. Getting the right putting stroke down can make a massive difference. Those bogeys turn to pars…or even birdies when you and your putter are in sync. The Edge Putting Rail, $59.95,  provides a 70° lie angle – that of most putters – to help with muscle memory. Line up your ball and putter, follow the Edge on your backswing and follow through to maintain the same plane and squarely strike the ball. Check your measurements with the markings on the Edge too. Claimed as "…the most popular plane angle…" let the Edge help you perfect your putting setup, path and speed whether practicing indoors or out. Another Eyeline device to check out is the 360° Mirror. Place the convex gadget in a number of different positions to provide yourself instant feedback. Put it in front of you at address and see the full stroke, from club head top of your backswing. Put beneath your hands to confirm stance. Or combine it with the Edge to really view your putting. Any golfer wanting to be in touch with their setup and movements should have a 360° Mirror, also $59.95. So whether you are the golfer or you have one in your life, help the game without giving advice! Get Eyeline aids to bring scores down and they will thank you or you will thank yourself.

Well, the next logical accessory that you can purchase would be the £19.99 D3O iPhone 5 Impact Band, don't you think so? Coming in clear and smokey designs, you can be sure that the D3O iPhone 5 Impact Band will be able to do its darndest best to ensure your precious smartphone from Cupertino with its 4" Retina Display will remain in pristine condition for as long as possible. The D3O iPhone 5 Impact Band is very different from a regular case, where it sports a particular protective band that will fit around the edge of your iPhone 5, and in the process, it delivers incredible impact protection. Specially developed in futuristic science labs and underground bunkers (just sayin', we think it is more of a factory lab somewhere), the iPhone 5 Impact Band relies on D3O technology, which means it is soft and pliable under normal conditions, but will remain rigid and extremely strong in the event of an impact.

Well, if you have answered in the affirmative then you might be interested to know that there is this $79.99 Dragonscale Bag of Holding which will certainly come in handy to tote around your earthly possessions – at least some of it. You could say that it contains far more style compared to all of the other man bags out there, and since it is made out of “dragonhide” PVC leather, your brain will tell you that it is far more cavernous than originally thought. Capable of holding laptops of up to 17″ in size, tablets, books, folders, old tomes that carry spells of yore, dice, scrolls, and potions are definitely no match for it – not to mention it will more than welcome modern day items such as pens, cables and smartphones. For those who feel that their social life is down in the dumps, you could say that the Dragonscale Bag of Holding is capable of delivering +5 to your Charisma, now how about that? By the way, no dragons were harmed in the making of this bag.

After all, there is a decent second hand market that you can always look into if you want to dispose of your gadgets at a good price, and what better way to protect the value of your purchase than by offering protection for it? If you are an iPad owner, then you might be interested to check out the ZooGue iPad Case Prodigy which will cater for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation iPads. This particular Prodigy case was specially designed to offer above average protection to the iPad, and at the same time, it does not restrict its performance, delivering multiple viewing angles along the way. Thanks to its patent pending magnetic kickstand, it can be adjusted to half a dozen secure angles, ranging from a low typing position to one which is more than ideal for watching movies and videos on the move. Sure, we do know that the number of iPad cases out there are dime a dozen, but how many of those do you know will deliver so many views as well as provide the kind of stability frequent travelers look for? The ZooGue iPad Case Prodigy will be able to combat this niggling problem, where it delivers an attractive solution which is also durable, versatile, and sturdy. Thanks to a long-lasting vegan leather exterior and a microfiber interior, the case itself also comes with strong magnets which ensure that the stand remains locked in any of the desired angles. The Prodigy will ensure your iPad's display remain guarded at all times, where it comes with a secure magnetic closure alongside sleep and wake functions. Users will be able to maintain unobstructed access to all cameras, ports, and buttons, now how about that for added convenience?
