Just don’t really ship a laptop in it.

You’re a hip, 21st century gadgeteer so you really shouldn’t be poncing about town with a corporate-looking laptop bag slung over your shoulder. Especially when you can go undercover with the Stealth Laptop Sleeve.

No, your eyes do not deceive you – this ingenious sleeve really does look like a tatty old manila envelope. But that’s where the similarity ends because the Stealth is made from super-strong fabric that’s tearproof and waterproof. What’s more it boasts a plush mock-silk interior that’s padded with PE foam to protect your precious ‘puter! A study in urban nonchalance? Absolument!

Sled like pro. This is a real head spinner and will cost you a fortune.

This is the Alpine racing sled with a built-in shock absorber that irons out bumps during rapid, downhill descents. Designed in Germany, the sled’s corrosion-resistant, aircraft aluminum alloy frame uses a shrouded 6 1/2" spring–the same used in off-road bicycles–to significantly reduce the effect of bumps on the lower back.

The wide runners have polyethylene glide bars that provide superior gliding and tracking, and you can even use ski wax to optimize their performance. Turns are performed by leaning to either side or using one’s feet. The polycarbonate seat and footholds place riders 11" above the ground.

The handbrake located between the legs consists of an aluminum claw that grips the snow and ice directly beneath the center of mass of the sled without altering the direction of travel, enabling you to slough off speed, but also providing absolute, confident stops.

I don’t know what it is… but this microphone kind of grosses me out even though it’s super cool. I just can’t have anything touch my adams apple. Should add that to the RGS list of weird phobias.

What is a Throat Mic you say? Glad you asked! A Throat Mic hugs your neck and picks up sound directly from your vocal cords. This allows for two main features. You can whisper and still be heard clearly on the other end and the person you’re speaking to hears no outside sound, only your voice. Therefore a throat mic based headset is perfect to use in any noisy environment… like while laying down mortar rounds, or cruising in your convertible.

Finally! The talk of Zubbles (colored bubbles) has been on the internets for years now. They are out and want to be bought right now.

Seriously, these Colored Bubbles were a labor of love. Ten years went into developing this special formula. You see, the bubbles are not only brilliant blue and pixie pink (you get one bottle of each bubble color), but the dyes are completely non-toxic and non-staining. That’s right, if the bubbles pop in your mouth, you won’t die. And if they pop on your shirt, the color will evaporate away. Colored Bubbles really are the perfect combination of science and magic. Time to dream again . . . in vivid color!

Put your hamster and huuuiiiii! (just kiddind!)

Like a real roller coaster, this 1:48 scale roller coaster model plummets down hills, careens around turns, performs a loop, and twists through a corkscrew all under the power of its own momentum. Designed by a roller coaster engineer, the ride begins at the control area. A rotating spring lifts the train up the first hill, then releases the train, where it dives and rises into its second turn. The second hill provides enough potential energy for the train to continue smoothly around the loop and power it through its corkscrew.
