Visomate Vision and Posture Reminder

Unless Mom pays you to be her personal assistant, your boss probably doesn't nag you much about your bad computer posture -- that doesn't mean you shouldn't be mindful of it. Propped on your PC, this $26 ultrasonic sensor lets you know whether your back, neck and eyes are at a proper position and distance from the computer. Red light means you're too close, blue light means you're in the recommended range. Just remember our helpful rhyme: "Flashing red, back up your head. Flashing blue, no scoliosis for you."

Ok, even I have to admit this is weird. But it's a gadget and I'll bet no one you know has one!

ID-One Scotty

"Anchorman" made loving lamps more socially acceptable, but ID-One has given us a valid reason to actually adore them. Though only a concept product at this time, ID-One's Scotty is both a floor lamp and a media PC/server. Those forces even combine by lighting up red when you've got mail.

Ok, I want this for two really good reasons....one is because I need something to tell me when I have email even when I have gotten up from the computer and second, no one else would have one!

Spion DeFIBulator Lie Detector

With this $50 palm-sized polygraph, calling out an in-office nemesis can be as simple as making small talk. The DeFIBulator compares the vocal-vibrations in the answers to three yes-or-no questions to the voice-stresses in any subsequent answers. Then it tells you whether that person is lying or not -- via an animated face that grows horns, lengthens its nose and is named Demonochio, of course. It even works stealthily over the phone, too!

Of course if you are a fan of Penn and Teller along with their show "Bullshit" then you know that polygraphs are, in fact, Bullshit!

USB Mini Fridge

It's simple science: The more time your hands spend typing, the warmer your can of Sunkist gets. This $33 5V fridge for one ensures that one can keeps its cool while your other can keeps that groove in your office chair filled. Display Post-it notes like mommy-approved first-grade drawings, or use it to hide any daddy-beverages your boss would in no way approve of.

I haven't decided if this is the ultimate proof of my Coke addiction or if it's just really nerdy. I suspect it's a combination of both. Is there a Coke Anonymous for Techno-Geeks?
