Here's info on stuff and photos I found interesting, and you might find them interesting too. And yes, our disclaimer too!
December 18, 2011 Delia knitted three of them .... one for Dennis, one for Fairway and one for me. She said getting the moustache right was the hardest part. I think she did a great job! At the base of tree is a Giz Wiz cookie a fan sent me a couple of years ago. Guess it's a little over the hill taste-wise, but it's still good for display.

Need we say it? iPad & Keyboad do not come with WINGstand!When I first saw the two small WINGstand clips, I thought they would make a good “What The Heck Is It?” gadget. But now I fear gadget lovers will know exactly what they are; or soon will know. The WINGstand clips are doing their job in the photo. You can see better pictures of them at the company website. The link is below. This is a fast and simple way to connect an Apple wireless keyboard with your iPad or your iPhone. The WINGstand is a Kickstarter project that is now in production and on sale. The two clips are made from recycled plastic, so they’re “green”, even though you buy them in either black or white. Clip them to the battery compartment an Apple wireless keyboard, and then to your iPad, iPad 2 or iPhone 4 and you’ve made yourself a mini workstation. They work in either landscape or portrait orientation. The WINGstand clips clip together for travel and take up just a tiny bit of room in a backpack, travel bag, or even your pocket. In use, they separate and let you slide them together or apart to accommodate the size of your iOS device. Price is $15.

Most any waist pack has room for your keys, phone, camera, wallet and more. But the iSafe Waist Pack adds something none of the other waist packs have. The iSafe Waist Pack is equipped with a powerful (LOUD!) concealed alarm system. This can offer personal safety and protection in dangerous or harmful situations. In addition to the alarm, there are four flashing red LED’s that activate along with the alarm. This is a great way for people to see where the sound is coming from in the dark. The Waist Pack joins the existing line of iSafe products: the iSafe Backpack and iSafe Messenger Bag. The alarm system is incorporated seamlessly into the waist pack. No one will know it’s there until you activate it. The iSafe Waist Pack weighs less than a pound including the batteries. The built-in alarm system is shock and water-resistant. If you find yourself in a threatening situation just pull down on the inconspicuous activation cord. That sets off the audible alarm and flashing red lights to attract attention. It should really startle any would-be attacker. I was expecting to hear the alarm when I tried the alarm function on a product sample, but I was still startled by how quickly the alarm went off and how piercing the sound is. You silence the alarm by replacing the pin. If you are in a strange or isolated area, the company recommends keeping one hand one hand close to the activation cord.The flashing LED’s can also function as a rescue beacon in the event of an accident or other emergency. The alarm can run continuously for up to two hours on two 9-volt batteries. Alternatively, the alarm can be switched on and off in intervals to conserve battery power. The one size-fits-all iSafe Waist Pack is available in black and blue/gray and comes with an adjustable belt strap for child and adult use. Dimensions: 11" x 6.5" x 5.5". MSRP $39.99.
