No idea if this will work or not. It sounds like a great idea though, and I'm sure I could spend a lot of time pouring stuff into the humidifier, and seeing how it changes the taste of things. Here's the details:
Innovative item is a perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook out. Pre-seasoned cast-iron humidifier lets you grill deliciously moist and tender meat and seafood with amazing results.
Just fill the slender cast-iron boxes with water, beer, wine, juices or other liquid and cook. Steam is released, adding moisture, infusing food with complex flavors and keeping it naturally tender. Food retains more natural juices and rich flavor for unforgettable results every time.
It's $30, and you can grab one over at the Sur La Table site HERE.

This is a very cool site if you like tattoos. Its basically a huge, searchable, picture database of tattoos that have been uploaded.
At last count, there's almost 213,000 pictures. Everything from the common, to the very impressive. Even if you're not looking to get a tattoo anytime soon, its worth it just to look around at some of the impressive work.
You can check it out HERE.

I like this idea, but it's going a little too far I think just to use your iPhone as a remote.
The case itself is an IR transmitter, which is needed, since most electronics use IR. Once your iPhone is snapped into the case, it becomes a universal remote, allowing you to control pretty much anything. The free application itself has all of the information about your electronics, and has a point and click programing setup.
The case does make your iPhone a little longer, but since I would guess you would only use it at home, that's probably not a big deal.
No idea how much this will cost, as it's not officially released yet. You can check it out over at the Power A site HERE, and sign up to have them email you when it's done.

The best thing about this trip is that they're giving away ten of them, so there's a lot more chances to win one.
The Grand Prize is a four day trip to Las Vegas. The trip includes: Round trip coach airfare for you and a guest to Las Vegas; hotel accommodations for four nights; Bud Light pool party passes for two; and admission to the Bud Light concert.
The contest runs until March 7th, 2010 and you can enter it HERE.

I don't think this has hit the US yet, but it should sometime soon.
The MSI Air is a wireless unit that acts as a mini keyboard, mouse, and media remote. The keyboard sounds like it's made to be used more with your thumbs than fingers, but mouse control is what really sets it apart.
The MSI Air has a built in accelerometer, mush like an iPhone, and lets you tilt the keyboard to move the mouse around the screen. Right and left buttons at the top of the unit work the same as standard mouse buttons.
Like anything new and cool, it's going to cost you a little more at around $108. Once it hits the US, I'm guessing that number will move up a bit, but I'm hoping it comes in at around $99, but that's doubtful. A better guess might be $119.
You can read more a little more about it over at the Everything USB site HERE.

This is a pretty good deal, with a lot of choices of wine. You do have to become a ClubBev member, but that looks like it's free.
The deal is that you buy a bottle of wine for the regular price, and you get a second bottle for only five cents. There's 221 bottle to choose from, and it looks like they start as low as $10.
You can check out the sale at the Bevmo site HERE.

I can't decide if I like the look of this watch or not. It also comes in blue and orange, though I like the beige the best out of the three. Here's the details:
The most rugged U-Boat watch yet, the Classico U-1001 boasts a water resistance rated to withstand pressures at 1001 meters below the water's surface. The style of the case also re-invents the traditional Classico case with the use of grade 2 titanium, and new forms for the bezel and crown. The multi-layered dial is composed of one black layer cut out to expose a beige sub-layer in place of the hour markers.
Movement: Automatic Swiss movement with U-Boat-engraved rotor.
Case: Grade 2 Titanium case with 55mm diameter, thick sapphire crystal, screw-down crown protecting cap, hinged to the case, pressure escape valve at 8 o'clock, engraving on the side of the bezel and case.
Bracelet: Specialize U-Boat black rubber strap with titanium engraved plate and deployant buckle.
Dial: Multi-layered black dial with beige recessed sandwich numerals and index markers and photo-luminescent hands.
I have no idea what one costs, but seeing as how you have to contact them to even get a price quote, I'm guessing that it's not going to be cheap. You can check them out HERE.

A sword cane isn't exactly practical anymore, that doesn't mean I still don't want one.
Sword Demon has a number of great looking canes, with everything from the wolf's head pictured here, to more traditional wooden headed hook canes. Here's the details about this one:
This gentleman cane is a classic creation for the sword cane enthusiast. Engineered for heavy duty use and guaranteed to last a lifetime. This fully functional piece is uniquely designed with a cast aluminum handle providing a sturdy grip for those evening strolls. The 21 1/2 blade is constructed from 420 stainless steel and features a razor sharp edge. The blade slides smoothly into a black aluminum shaft designed for an elegant appearance. 35 overall
You can check all of them out, and a large number of other swords they have, at the Sword Demon site HERE.

Not a lot of details on this one. It sounds pretty decent from what little info there is though.
The Grand Prize is Airfare for two to Las Vegas, Hotel Accommodations for winner and one guest for three nights, and Gift cards for Spa Services, Food, and Entertainment.
And that's pretty much it as far as details go. The prize package says that it's around $4000 total, so the gift cards might be in the $1500 range. Though that's completely a guess on my part.
The contest runs until March 31, 2010, and you can enter it HERE.
