Anything You Need...
Konfabulator offers widgets for your desktop. Besides the usual calendars, moon phases and weather widgets it has other useful tools such as the urban dictionary, web cams,
Scribbler(a clipboard extension that stores pieces of text, URLs, and file locations) and
Sol(dynamically loads amazing images of our sun that are taken by the SOHO spacecraft. It will display the image of your choice and provides a wide set of features) and many others. My favourite is the google page rank widget. And best of all: They are available for both Apple and Windows computers.

Laptop Bags & Sleeves
On the desperate hunt for a fun, creative bag with personality I stumbled upon the greatest bag creators of 2005:
FREITAG.
FREITAG created a product out of something old and utilized their recycling technique to design bags with individuality. Each bag is different, as there are the truck tarpaulins of which they are made of.
And the creativity has no end:
Here you can also design your own bag by cutting out pieces with a virtual stencil and order it once the masterwork has been created.
LAPTOP SLEEVESAnother great find are the SportFolio Sleeves by Marware.
Marware says: The SportFolio Sleeve line offers high-tech neoprene construction and our slimmest overall design. Sizes to fit 12", 14", 15" & 17" Apple laptops. Great protection when carrying your notebook in a brief case or backpack.Also the price ($29.95 - $39.95) is very acceptable for this quality product and I have to say that I can't be happier with my sharkskin sleeve that fits my 14"ibook like a glove.
Mobile Powersource
For people addicted to portable electronics, this might just be the solution for a trip in the woods. Finally you can hike into the wilderness, without being disconnected from loved ones or hectic business life. But wait a minute, isn't that the purpose after all?
Voltaic about their bagpacks: The Voltaic™ backpack is powerful enough to charge most portable electronics (other than laptops) including: cell phones, cameras, two way radios, GPS's, PDA's, even iPods.

T-shirt Design & Sale Made Easy
I have looked long and hard for an easy way to design my shirts and have been very satisfied with the quality and ease of use
SPREADSHIRT.com provides. Until this Spring they have only offered their services in Germany, but finally they have made the jump to the US. My
online shop serving the German public has done well and there is a lot of excitement in selling your first products online. In Februrary Spreadshirt will have set up the system and everybody is welcome to design their own products and set up their shops for free. After you have designed your products you can define the commission for each sale. Say the T-shirt you designed cost $15, then you can add an additional amount on top of that, which will be the commission Spreadshirt pays you for each order. They also offer innovative marketing tips and trend forcasts and have a well-structured and guided site, that makes starting a business fun!

Cheap | Practical | Good ?-the Mini Mac
Always on the hunt for new prey, Apple is now introducing the
Mac mini in the hope to get the broad PC market to switch sides.
What Apple has to say about it:
Mac mini houses a 1.25 or 1.42GHz G4 processor, 40 or 80GB hard drive, a slot-loading CD-R/DVD-ROM optical drive, 256MB DDR SDRAM and ATI Radeon 9200 graphics chip with 32MB dedicated DDR SDRAM — all whisper-quiet.
If you are living in a box, are dreaming of a sleak piece of new furniture in anodized aluminum enclosure and are in need of a new affordable computer, this might be for you - given you already own a monitor and keyboard. The small price (starting at $499) at least matches the Mini's size (6.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall). Can't wait to hear some comments by proud owners.
