CES just ended; the Detroit Auto show is going on now…    What new products will improve our lives incrementally?  Which ones will dramatically shift the way we live?   My short list in the honorable mention category is:

1. 3-D TVs.    I guess they’re no longer the product of ‘the future’
2. Tablet Computers.  I’ve had one for three years and tested the first prototypes in 1999.  Welcome to the club
3. Electric cars
4. Google’s Nexus One phone

In our office, though, there is a clear winner, and the brilliant ThinkGeek gadgeteurs win because they sell products that used to be limited to daydreamers and do-it-poorly-yourselfers.  For example- the Tauntaun sleeping bag, the dog leash digital camera, and the throwing star coat hook.             Our winner:  The Interactive T-Shirt.

A typical Friday 'Smoke on the Water' Jam Session
