Leo's Crap! (But sometimes it's good.)

Leo was fooled by this Butterfly in a jar, and so was I! We both were amazed how great it looked. Turns it, it’s an electronic butterfly from Think Geek! Here’s more info from their website:  

When we were kids, we liked putting butterflies in jars so we could keep them forever and ever. But sometimes they always died. It was sad. That's why we got so excited when we saw this Electronic Butterfly in a Jar. Each Electronic Butterfly in a Jar is a jar with a wire in it. The wire has a fake butterfly on the end. Somehow, when you tap the top or make a loud sound, the electronics in the cap make the wire wiggle. This creates the very realistic illusion of the butterfly flittering around your jar. It even just stays on the glass and flexes its wings sometimes. It is like having a piece of magic nature on your desk that defies death. Pick your favorite butterfly flavor (or collect the whole team) and get ready to feel good when you marvel at your Electronic Butterfly in a Jar. $19.99.

A speaker with a different kind of twist!

The speaker Leo showed on The Giz Wiz is the Damson Twist. The company says they produce portable speakers that deliver sound way beyond their size. The Damson Twist builds upon the Incisor Diffusion Technology, which turns almost any surface into a speaker system. Great for home or travels the Damson Twist fits into the palm of your hand. Incisor diffusion technology, which pushes the sound across almost any surface it is rested upon, can easily fill most rooms in houses and hotel rooms. Different surfaces produce different sounds and you'll see Leo try many different ones in this episode. There are no buttons on the Twist; to operate, just Twist to your desired setting of either Bluetooth or Line in. Another neat little touch is that the logo will glow either blue or white to reflect what method of input you are using. It’s under $67 at this Amazon link:

This is a TWiT Link. If you purchase something, TWiT gets a pittance, but you pay nothing extra.
