Charge it!

I am so excited about these rechargeable (and therefore eco-friendly) batteries from USBcell -- they're the only ones I've seen that don't require some sort of clunky, easily-lost charger. Instead, you plug them into your computer's USB port, and voila! Charged!

$17.49 for a two-pack at USBcell.com

They come in AA, 9-volt, and even some cell phone/device batteries (how awesome to be able to leave the cell phone charger at home when you travel?). Plus, it doesn't hurt that they're pretty.

Go ahead and see for yourself!

An Apple a day.

Have you seen the new iPod shuffle? It's so teensy that you might have to look a little bit closer... but this baby holds as much as my old school Nano and it talks. With the push of a button, it will tell you what song you're listening to and who's performing it. Plus, unlike its predecessor where you're at the mercy of its random selection, the new shuffle allows you to create playlists (no more Dido popping up and ruining the momentum of your run).

Apple will never cease to amaze and tempt me with their cutting edge awesomeness. Conveniently, my birthday is next month. Although I already got an iPhone as an "early birthday present." Guess this will have to go on my wish list.




Only $79 at the Apple Store.
