The Pod Squad
The whole "man cave" thing is so in right now. But really, other than the musty tool shed in the back yard, where is there to really get away from it all? Enter the Office Pod. Though technically made for "work," we can't see any reason it shouldn't have a flat screen and some video games, too. And if you happen to get some work done along the way, then that's just an added bonus.

Takes A Licking...
As digital cameras have gotten smaller and smaller, they've also become more and more fragile. Ever stick one in your back pocket only to sit down later and hear a nice LCD-cracking crunch? Then the Casio Exilim EX-G1is the new tough camera for you. But this slim little bugger isn't just tough, it's James Bond-meets-MacGyver tough. At only 0.8 inches thick, the resin and polycarbonate 12-megapixel camera can survive a fall from seven feet, a dive down to 10 feet for up to an hour, and can remain fully functional in 14-degree temps.

Sound Off
In the crowded all-in-one audio arena, few companies produce a unit with both the quality and beauty of a Tivoli. Available in black ash, cherry, or walnut, the Music System features a radio, CD player, and iPod connectivity, and delivers sound with unprecedented fidelity and clarity.

In Vino Veritas
In honor of Neil Ashmead, Australian wine pioneer and auto racing enthusiast, Elderton has bottled a wine celebrating the man's two biggest passions, replete with racing stripes, winner's wreath, and shift-pattern cap. Though we haven't tasted it and can't vouch for the wine's tastiness, we can say that it's one of the coolest bottle designs around.
