Flip Mino HD - The World’s Smallest HD Video Camera

The makers of the Flip Ultra, and Flip Mino compact pocket video cameras have now produced the Flip Mino HD ($230). The Flip Mino HD claims to be the worlds smallest HD video camera, records up to an hour of widescreen 720p HD video to an internal 4gb hard drive storage. The Flip Mino HD sports easy one-touch recording, a rechargeable lithium ion battery, a 1.5 inch anti-glare LCD display, and weighs just a tad over 3 ounces. For the holiday season, I was considering the Kodak Zi6, but after reading some unimpressive reviews, the Flip Mino HD is now on my Christmas list.

Carrying out your tasks is also aided by remember the milk with the ability to locate where your task will be completed via Maps. All tasks are also exportable to iCal.

Chrono Shredder by Susanna Hertrich

The Chrono_Shredder is a device that makes past time tangible. It is a hybrid between calendar, clock and waste producing automaton. It has no on/off-button, thus it is unstoppable, just like time. It features the 365 days of the year represented on a paper-roll. The paper-roll is led through a hacked paper-shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one “day”.
