Imagine that you had a pen that allowed you to write a message to anyone and then send it to the intended recipient, and they receive it via email or SMS. The DScribe Digital Fountain Pen lets the user write a message out on paper, write the persons to send the message to, circle the name, and send it. All in a fountain pen- classy.

The digital pen connects to your communication device via Bluetooth, and translates your writing into text. The small LED screen on the pen lets you know the status of everything.

Handy Keychain Crank Light

Greg Chaffins

At one point (around the 2000 scare) it was interesting to see the hand crank radios and lights that were popping up. Now it has become commonplace, even practical, to have a windup light powering an efficient LED light source.

The Keychain Dynamo Flashlight is a crank style light that fits right on your keychain. The unit comes in 3 colors (black,blue and red).

Having a light (source is two LEDS) that never runs out of power will set you back only $8.00.
