Transparent Keyboard and Mouse

Multi-Touch keyboards and mice are the next generation in computer peripherals. These elegant well made devices are composed of quality tempered glass, a solid metal base, and the finest components. They are designed using simple existing technology and have no moving parts. They have rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries and are completely wireless. The tactile sounds and lighting can be turned on or off per the users' preference plus they are coffee and doughnut resistant.

 






The design is based on a touch screen technology known as FTIR or Frustrated Total Internal Reflection. There are basically infrared LEDs placed at the edge of the glass. In this case, they are hidden inside holes where the glass is mounted to the metal base. Because of the low angle at which the light impacts the internal glass surface, it is bounced around inside the glass, much like looking through a tube to see the reflections on the inside walls. When the glass is touched it frustrates the reflection and the IR light is diffused downward, out of the glass, allowing the camera to see it. Software then determines the location and sends the appropriate information to your computer.

It's a cool design!! I want to get this keyboard and mouse. But I think I am used to normal keyboard, so its feeling bad when I am typing.
And I concerned about fingerprints. It seems that these are put my fingerprints on and get dirty soon. These will be sold in April 2012.  If you want these, how about buying?

HexBright

I am offering pre-orders for two unique and powerful lights, the HexBright Prime for $35 and the HexBright Flex for $60. Both models are virtually identical looking with an ergonomic, very comfortable grip and use the best available LED light source. The Prime has a max light output of 350 lumens and the Flex has a max light output of 500 lumens. For reference, a good quality $30 brand-name flashlight puts out 100 lumens of light. The major difference between the Prime and Flex models is the HexBright Flex is USB rechargeable and USB programmable. If you want, you can re-write the default code and tweak the HexBright Flex however you desire.

This is a new flashlight.
This is programmable, changing color and brilliant, so it's interesting!! I want to buy and customize.

Business Cards

Hydro74 wanted to do something different and something that would make a good impact to the client. So he made new business card whose shape is coin. He is planning on running different designs for each season and making it where it's something that friends and clients get excited about.

It's cool design! But I think this is heavier than paper business card. So I don't want to bring many many coin type business card...
