Sunday Shopping Tip

HERE IT IS:  EVEN IF YOU DON’T NEED ONE, YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE ONE.

It’s the 2Gb DVR Camcorder Pen Recorder.  The first mini-recorder in the world that is both a camcorder and a recorder…. in the shape of a pen that really writes.

It features one-touch digital video recording and with the 4Gb upgrade you can store 30 hrs of video or audio on the built-in flash drive.  To view the video you just plug the pen into your USB socket and watch just like any other flash drive.  The smooth-writing pen holds standard ink refills.

The price of this beauty has just been reduced from $360 down to $200.  With savings like that, you can’t pass up this great opportunity!  Add some fun to your committee meetings!  Shop Stewards …… don’t go into an administative hearing without one!

Tuesday Shopping Tips

THIS ONE’S FOR THE GUYS ONLY.  Finally on the market, it’s the “Control a Woman” remote.

womancontrol c

With this indispensable device, you can take command once again (as if you ever had it in the first place).  It’s simple to operate.  You just take this traditionally-designed remote control unit, point it at the unruly woman in question, then press one of the command buttons.  (one of my favorites is the Mute button.)  Results happen within moments!

womancontrol d

You can order one of these from the UK HERE for about $10 plus shipping.

Sorry Gals, they don’t make these for women because you already have the men under control now. 

Correction:  Long-time reader R. G. has pointed out that they DO have a remote to “Control a Man” HERE.  But I don’t know why he let it get out…FG.

Last-Minute Dad’s Day Gift Suggestion

YOU’VE ONLY GOT TODAY AND TOMORROW to find that “perfect something” to pick up for Dear Old Dad.

Firegeezer knows that he would looooove one of these:

sharp108

The 108-inch LCD Television

This flat screen beauty from Sharp will be the hit of the neighborhood when the Summer Olympics start up in August.  And you can let the whole gang in to watch because it has a 176º viewing angle!

The set consumes 1,130 watts of electrical power, so he might have to do without the air conditioning while watching.  The price is a mere 2nd-mortgage cost of just under $102,000.  But take somebody to help you when you pick it up.  It weighs 430 lbs.

The specs of this crowd-pleaser are HERE.

Prospective Present For Paranoid Papa’s

WITH FATHER’S DAY JUST AROUND THE CORNER, we continue with our annual gift suggestion program.

Is your Dad one of those types who worries about people in back rooms watching him on hidden cameras?  Or maybe you are the one who’s always looking over your shoulder for the spy-cam.

In either event, what you need is the Hidden Camera Detector.  About the size of a Bic cigarette lighter, this magnificent sample of advanced radio technology scans all the frequencies that are allotted for wireless camera transmissions and sends an audio and light signal whenever a camera is sensed.

hidden camera detector hand

If you’re wondering why the boss suddenly moves you into a plush, paneled office with a busty secretary, then you want to make sure you run a sweep with one of these low-cost detectors before you do anything else.  The price?  A low, low $24.99.  I just checked and they have some in stock now. 

To read more about it and order yours today, click HERE.  And while you’re at it, get one for dear old Dad, too.

Thursday Shopping Tip

HERE IT IS…….THE PERFECT RETIREMENT GIFT !

After you retire, you don’t really care what the time is.  You get up when you feel like it and eat whenever you want to.  And you’re never late for work because you don’t go there anymore.  In fact, you don’t even want to know what time it is.

But the older you get, the harder it is to remember what day it is.  And that’s why you will need….

The Geezer’s Day Clock

If you have a friend or co-worker who is retiring soon, this is the ideal going-away present for them.  It costs only $39.95 and will probably last longer than they do.

Read more about it and place your order for one HERE.

No longer do you have to unstrap the camera from your arm or your shoulder strap.  You just aim your head and snap.  The 5-megapixel camera will take both stills and video and operates at up to 15 ft. depths.  Maybe you’re one of those people who likes to lay on your back on the bottom of the pool and look at…. ummm…. other people.  Nobody will ever suspect a thing with your Digital Camera Swim Mask.

To learn more and to order your tech toy for only $99.95, click HERE.  (You’ll have to buy two AAA batteries to make it work.)

Sunday Shopping Tip

FOR SOME (MANY?) PEOPLE, THERE ARE TIMES when you need to do some work on the laptop computer, but the light is way too low.  Then you end up leaning over with your squinting eyes 3 inches above the keyboard.

LapWorks has the solution.  It’s the Nite Key Lite that will illuminate your keyboard in that darkened classroom or airline cabin.  It plugs into the USB connection and is made of a strong, yet flexible 18″ long cable that stays in the position that you set it.

There are two LED lights for plenty of illumination and the power draw is low, equal to about 90 seconds per hour of laptop battery life.  The bulbs have a life of 8,000 hours.

You can read more about it and order directly from LapWorks HERE.   The retail price is $14.95.
