The Rosco LitePad is a flat panel light source which consumes very little energy and produces very little heat. The soft light is perfect for video/film production lighting setups. What’s even better is that the 3×3 panel only costs around $80.

NOOKA Zub 38 Zenv

I first heard about Nooka watches from a blog post which said that Nooka made a limited edition glow in the dark watch for Kanye West. Yes, they are very different from your normal watch - but that’s what makes them so cool.

ICON A5 Sport Airplane

The ICON A5 is a two-seater sport airplane aimed for the masses. It’s supposed to be easy to fly and the wings are foldable for easy storage. At $139,000 it sounds like a steal - once I’ve won the lottery.

Garmin Nuvi 850

I just saw a commercial for the Garmin Nuvi 850 with voice-recognition. Very, very cool.

Simply speaking, nüvi 850 is one advanced navigator. It features speech recognition (SR), a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 800-series, just speak a menu option and nüvi obeys your command.

Litepanels Micro On-Camera Light

This freaky thing is called the Litepanels Micro. It’s a state-of-the-art LED on-camera lighting system for videographers. What makes it awesome is that it’s small, compact and made of LED lights which emit very little heat and consume a low amount of power. This would be great for all my indie filmmaking needs.

Electra Townie 21 700c Bike

I’ve been looking for a beginner’s triathlon bike and happened to see an ad for Electra in this month’s Men’s Health. Electra has some very stylish bikes and I may just have to get this one for my training bike.

The Netflix Player by Roku

  • Over 10,000 movies and TV episodes instantly
  • No change in monthly Netflix costs and you continue to get your DVDs by mail
  • Easily connects directly to your TV
  • Pause, rewind or play anytime - just like a DVD
  • Guaranteed to work with your TV

I just subscribed to Blockbuster’s Total Access program - but I might need to cancel that instantly and buy the Netflix Player by Roku instead. It’s 10,000 movies on demand with UNLIMITED streaming! The box is only $100 and you just need a Netflix subscription over $9.

UPDATE: Turns out that you don’t get blockbusters on day one release that you’d get from Apple TV and you don’t get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, but for less than half the price of an Apple TV it’s still a very tempting offer!

Casio Exilim EX-F1

The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is all the rage on the internet right now because of it’s incredible feature set:

• Slow-mo video shooting at 300, 600 and 1200 frames per second
• Fast-slow-fast shooting from 30fps to 300 and back to 30 — I call this the “she walked in the room” mode, because it’s what they do in cheesy 80s movies to indicate the protagonist’s love interest
• High-speed 6-megapixel shots at 60fps
• Strobe shooting of stills at 7 frames per second with standard flash; 60fps with LED flash
• Full-resolution still shooting while capturing HD video
• Fly-in and fly-out auto modes, which capture still shots at 60fps when the subject enter or exit the frame

So not only is it a great still camera, but it also has awesome HD camcorder abilities.
