Scientifically inclined children and teenagers are going to love having this at home. Looking at things and seeing them 600 times larger than real life can be a real adventure.  This is not an electronic microscope, not in the standard meaning of the word. Instead, it’s an optical microscope, based on lenses and light, that comes with a built-in digital camera. You can either view it as-is, or you can attach it to your computer and capture digital images and movies. This light-weight microscope is easy to handle and is quite affordable. In fact, if you head over to Amazon right now, you will see that they don’t even mention the price, as it’s down from the official $75 price tag. Check it out here

Recommending today's gadget not whole-heartedly. Not because it's not good - oh no, it's as effective as they get - and that's the rub. Drive carefully, folks, and stick to the speed limit. It is a sleek looking gizmo though, and a hi-tech radar/laser detector that brings state-of-the-art military capabilities right into your car.  The Whistler XTR-140 provides a 360 degrees of total band protection, with the patented VG-2 cloaking technology embedded. It's easy to set this one up with its various modes of alerting you to the presence of that Radar or Laser device. Quiet auto mode the more vibrant alert priority mode - you choose and let the black box deliver. Again, drive carefully - don't put yourself or others at risk - but if you're an electronics freak that just needs the latest gadgets in his or her car, check this one out on Amazon.

 This small item is a virtual reality check for electrical appliance usage throughout the home. Imagine being able to monitor the efficiency of every electrical product in your house. Operating quickly and easily, plug the appliance inside to find the accurate usage amounts of your appliance. The large LCD readout will give precise totals by the kilowatt hour, accurate to within 0.2 percent accuracy. This unit will give converted electircity expenses by the day, week, month or year. From the review section we have this statement: "My air purifier uses 85 watts of power at all times. When I did the converisons using this unit, I then found out it costs me $12.24 a month." He also found out his computer uses 250-310 watts of power. This turned out to be costing him $40 a month - at today's rates. He found he could save $20 a month simply by turning it off when not in use. Being aware of expenses is a worthwhile chore at any time. Monitoring electrical usage, especially since these are products we use on a daily basis, would seem of huge impact and importance. There is probably no other place in all of our expenses where we can find savings as easily come by as the simple administration of a framework and more conscious usage of our own home's electrical power. What this little item achieves is not only an awareness of what those amounts are, but also a recognition that they matter.
