Geek Brief TV #268

A PR agency contacted me and offered to send some products from a
gadget company they represent. All of the gadgets are fun USB toys,
so I thought it would make a great stocking stuffer show. If you're
going to stuff a stocking with a USB gadget, I think you have to stick
some kind of iPod in it. My recomendation this year is the Nano [1].
On this brief, I also talk about Brando's USB charged book light [2].
I just might be the most practical thing Brando ever made. The USB
Putt Returner [3] takes mini golf to a new extreme and makes the
phrase, "six tiny balls" a new Christmas tradition. The company that
inspired this Brief is boynq.com [4]. They have a retractable cable
USB hub called Haspel. They have a USB lamp called D'Light. They
have a USB fan called Mistral, and my favorite is their multi card
reader called Toastit. It's cute and it looks like a toaster.

Some of my favorite sites for USB gadgets are: everythingusb.com
[5], thinkgeek.com [6], and hammacher.com [7]
