Every day, I wake up to find that I'm even more jealous of the kids today, because of the kinds of learning tools that they have versus what I had. Ok, I didn't turn out so badly; after all, I do know how to use a computer, but still! For example, take a look at this globe. You can just point to a spot on the globe using the included pen to get instant facts about the location: geography, history, culture and much more. Of course, since kids may quickly get tired of just that, there are over 30 activities including searches, comparisons, tests, and games against other players.

You can bet your Kyoto Protocol that coffee-loving planet-haters will be stirred into action by this ingenious mug, as it features a map that shows the effects of global warming every time you fill it with something warm.

Did you wait in line with the masses of people to purchase your copy of Windows Vista last night? Chances are your answer is "no" unless you were cold and wanted to hang out in a warm store, felt obligated to go because you work at Microsoft, or thought Microsoft was releasing Vista with SP1.

Anyway, if you purchased a new machine with Vista preloaded, Belkin created this Easy Transfer Cable just for you. As long as you can plug in USB cables, you're golden to transfer settings, photos, music, etc... to your brand new Vista setup.

Doctor Who fans rejoice! Now you've got a legitimate excuse for dreaming about time travel, Billie Piper and rubbish monsters all day long, because this 4-way USB hub looks and sounds just like the Tardis!

Everyone loves money. Everyone loves puzzles. Thankfully this infuriating little gizmo combines the two, as recipients must solve the puzzle in order to access whatever wonga you put inside. Aargh!

Ok, so it's not a super complicated electronic gadget, and it has been around for a while, but if you have a picky kitty like I do, then you would appreciate this great little device which keeps their water nice and fresh.

These unique water bowls continuously circulate, filter and aerate your pet’s water supply, returning it to the dish in a gentle cascade of cleaner, fresher tasting water. By mimicking the flow of a faucet, pets are encouraged to drink more often and receive proper hydration, which is critical to a pet’s health.

Create stunning works of 3D art by sandwiching your nick-nacks inside this unique framing system. Stackable and reusable, Cubisto features two sheets of stretchy transparent material to keep beloved collectables 'floating' in place. Now where's that Gary Barlow action figure?

If you're a coffee buff, and hate drinking coffee made from stale grounds, take a look at this practical gadget. It's a storage canister and a dispenser in one. Really simple mechanism - just hold and press the button for the release of exactly one tablespoon of coffee, without exposing the rest of the coffee to the air. The Indispensable Coffee Dispenser stores over half-a-pound of ground coffee.

So there I was... waiting in my seat before takeoff on the flight back from CES '07 and Toronto 640 called and asked for an interview on their Sunday show about our CES coverage and the iPhone. I agreed and went on air for the first time on January 14th.

Apparently I did ok because they asked me back last week and in about forty-five minutes I will go on for the third time. Here's the show lineup for the day.
