Duct Tape Bandage:
Nothing butches up your wounds like an official duct tape band-aid.
Olympus WS-110 WMA
Digital Voice Recorder The Olympus WS-110 digital voice
recorder works beautifully. The interface was pretty easy to figure
out, and the built-in USB plug is very handy. I just stick it my
computer and it mounts like a disk.

Gerber Crucial Multi-Tool :
The Gerber Crucial's specs and image give me that head-to-toe multitool lust that has overtaken me only a few times before -- once for the Skeletool and once for Gerber's old DIY mix-and-match tool. I've had about five Gerber tools over the years and every one of them was a winner. I'm off to buy one tomorrow. WANT. FWOAR.
Itzbeen Baby Care Timer:
I like the look of the ITZBEEN: a four-way baby-care timer that helps sleep-depped parents remember exactly when the little pisher last had a little pish.
RESCUE TAPE Self-Fusing Silicone Tape :
Self-fusing silicone "rescue" tape sounds like some powerfully useful stuff -- permanently bonds to itself in one minute, creating a 700psi-rated, acid/solvent/oil-resistant seal. As the Red Ferret sez, "just think of it as a reel of spare fanbelt."
Thinkpad X200:
My latest and most favorite laptop has the greatest warranty on earth. It's light, rugged, fast, runs GNU/Linux like blazes, has a waterproof keyboard with drainage holes in the bottom, and you can choose from heavy, super-long-life batteries for long-distance travel and light, slender ones for home-and-office journeys.

About the "Duct Tape Bandage" info: the link here for purchase takes me to he purchase page for Tom Waits' "Glitter and Doom Live [LIVE]", (which is a great album, but not for covering wounds... ok, maybe it is); and the link on the review page takes me to Amazons's 404 page.
That multi-tool shall be MINE.
The link to part 2: Media doesn't work, I'm afraid.. :)
D'oh! Duct tape and previous links should both be working now!
