Leo's Check's Out This Week's "Crap From The Sky Mall Catalog" Winner.  

Turns out that it takes a l-o-n-g time to get stuff delivered when you order from Sky Mail. This is week three or four of our “Crap From The Sky Mall” catalog and so far only one item has arrived. Perhaps they don't want us to show stuff from their website or catalog on the Giz Wiz! But no matter, you still get to vote on what Leo orders next! And this week there are four choices!

Leo also talked about his Nike+ FuelBand This wearable USB device tracks your activity through a sport-tested accelerometer. Then it translates every move into NikeFuel. Nike+ FuelBand tracks running, walking, dancing, basketball - and dozens of everyday actions. It also syncs up with a motivational web and mobile experience. Leo said it’s like the FitBit he used a while back and they are other devices on the market that are similar. But he also said it does motive you, and even puts on a little fireworks display on your wrist when you reach your daily goal. So he’s recommending it. And he also recommends you get at the Nike website when it seems to be a lot cheaper ($149) than at Amazon and some other places!
