07.19.2006Merriam Webster USB Dictionary and Thesaurus
As I came across this device, I was reminiscing about my school days when we kids would lug a thick, mean-looking Webster's dictionary to our English classes. And the bigger the dictionary, the more respect the proud owner would command, which in turn would set off a fierce competition among kids to refresh their dictionary supplies with many different variants, all in order to get into the good books of the professors. Perhaps I would seem like a dinosaur if I were to share the memories with the digital generation of the present. To get to the point, the device that triggered these memories is the Merriam Webster's USB-based Dictionary & Thesaurus. The 256MB flash drive contains the Webster's digital dictionary with 300,000 words and an accompanying thesaurus with 500,000 words. A portion of the drive is also allocated for other pre-loaded software programs such as phonetic spell correction, a grammar guide and confusable function alerts - a facility by which the software will alert the user if he might have mistaken similar sounding words (e.g bore and boar).The remaining memory can be used for normal data storage - the specification doesn't say how much of the memory is left, though. Available for $49.95 at Franklin. Via Everything USB. Posted by kanchana

07.19.2006Surgial Tubing Bracelets
With my eye always on the lookout for unusual jewelry, I naturally gravitated towards these Surgical Tubing Bracelets by Jonathan Glatt. With their mixture of unusual materials and clean lines they're the perfect compliment to contemporary ensembles, which often make more traditionally styled jewelry look prissy next to futuristic-looking laptop bags and mobile phones. Gotta love the dark bold colors too, with just enough presence and simplicity to draw attention, but not complicate things. Posted by Katherine

07.19.2006Magnifying Glass Necklace
If you take a close look at the things around you, you'll find that they're much more complex than they first appear to be. Take for example this Magnifying Glass Necklace, which looks like a cute novelty accessor (which it is). But, in addition to being a nice necklace, the magnifying glass is fully functional and is just the right decorative touch to complement the intrepid soul who might wear it, the type of individual who always pays attention to all of life's little details.
