Gadgets

While ordering international power converters from mobileplanet.com,
I broke down and ordered the Kensington
WiFinder.  It's basically a keychain that notifies you when you're in a wireless
hotspot.  Not bad for $35, and now finding a hotspot is now a walk in the
park ;)

The one addition I would love would be GPS and some sort of memory so that I can record
where the hotspots are.

 

I already have a USB keychain which has come in very handy, and with the addition
of the Wifi Finder I don't want to add another, but the new Philips audio
keychain (left) and the camera keychain, if only they could combine them into
one keychain:

 Still on my wish list is KVH's TracVision
A5 mobile satellite tuner which allows you to watch satellite TV anywhere
(mount to the top of your car).  It's pricey at $3499.99 on Crutchfield.com,
but hopefully by the time I can afford it, it will have both internet and WiFi
access and I will have a car with a hard top :)

As a good blog citizen, I will of course let you know how good the WiFi Finder
actually works...

  A trash can for my office tops my wish list. Oh and to work in a building with windows.
