Here’s one from the “That’s Awesome!” Department: A programmable Magic Wand TV Remote. You can program the wand to respond to your flicks, twists, and other wizardly movements and change the channel! Throw in some magic words and your friends will be utterly amazed! “Bigga Banga Theoriouso!”

Though we’ve featured some silly alarm clocks in the past, this one may actually be good. The Shake Awake Alarm Clock is designed to go under your pillow, and then it vibrates you awake when it’s time to get up. It can also be set to sound an alarm for those mornings when you really need to get up, too.

This ultra-cool, ultra-funky watch from TokyoFlash apparently tells the time in some way that I can’t quite figure out. At least it looks awesome, and it recharges via USB.

Eye-Fe Flash Memory Cards are one of the coolest new products to come out in quite a long time. They are just like the regular flash memory cards you have in your cameras now, but they also have a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter. What does this mean for you? You take a picture, and the picture automatically gets transferred to your computer! You can even have the pictures get automatically get sorted by date, or uploaded to Flickr, Facebook, or several other image sites. It really is a fascinating bit of technology!

Here’s another cute little gadget from ThinkGeek we just love: a keychain solar flashlight. I know, it seems a little boring, but think about how handy it would be to have one of these! Stick it on your keyring, and you’ve got a light when you take the dog out late at night, or when you’re going to your car when the mall closes, or you drop something under your desk and can’t find it… It’s got two LEDs and it recharges for free with the sun, and it’s pretty awesome for only $10!

The Swiss Tech Utili-Key has six handy tools in one little package. The Utili-Hey contains flat and phillips screwdrivers, a bottle opener, serrated and straight knife blades, and a tiny eyeglass screwdriver. Perfect for keeping in a car glove compartment, purse, luggage, or anywhere you may need a handle little tool!
The Ohto Petit-B is perhaps the perfect wallet pen. It’s a little over 3 inches when closed, but expands to a tad over 5 inches when open. It’s nice and skinny, and fits perfectly in the fold of a wallet. It’s a perfect gift for the guy who HAS to have a pen with him at all times (and who doesn’t fit in that category?)
If you’re worried about your kids or your spouse looking at some of the seedier parts of the web, you might need the Porn Detection Stick. Plug it into the USB port on any computer running Windows Vista, XP or 7, and it will find any pornographic images – even deleted ones.

I like this cute little guy. The USB Owl from ThinkGeek perches at the top of your monitor, and keeps an eye on things. He has three modes, and turns his head and blinks in active and mellow mode. In sleep mode I assume that he, well, sleeps.
