The perpetual problem with having so many gadgets (phone, mp3 player, blackberry, etc) is they just end up strewn across your apartment or desk. Sure, some of them may have docks, but that doesn’t alleviate the fact that you’re sitting there with four AC adaptors, cables and four gadgets. Get organized and get yourself a dock, like the Bamboo 3 Pod from KangaRoom storage.

The fantastic looking bamboo wood charging station can sit on your desk, nightstand or mounted on the wall and will conceal a 10″ power strip and corresponding cables behind it’s front sliding door. There are also five pen holes and a business card slot.

What this means to you: Clutter-free gadgets are happy gadgets.

A dozen lessons later and $1000 poorer, you’re still no closer to mastering your putting game. In fact, you’re still 3-putting every hole. Let us introduce you to a device that just might help you improve your putting.

The EEZ Read is an amazing new putting aid that helps you read those tough breaks. What you’re looking at is essentially a bubble level attached to a stainless steel disc. This lightweight, palm-sized device is easy to use. Simply place the EEZ Read on the break line halfway between the ball and the hole, and once you determine how the ball is going to move, pick up and place the device within 6 inches of the hole to see if that break continues all the way to the hole. Where the bubble ends up on the level determines whether the the ball will move left to right, right to left, uphill or downhill, and any number of combinations in between.

So what if your buddies give you the evil eye when you pull this out of your pocket. They won’t think twice once you start sinking putt after putt. It’s just that awesome. What else would you expect from a Best New Product winner of the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show?

What this means to you: Mastering the greens by using a level? You better believe it.

Walking or biking the streets late at night isn’t always the safest thing to do. However there are many of us, including myself, that consider ourselves to be night owls. Whether we’re carrying around books, clothes or gear, a good messenger bag is ever useful. How do you turn a good bag into a great one? Just ask Timbuk2. Their new Covert Messenger features a wide strip of black fabric that reflects light when hit from a light source, such as headlights or a flashlight.

What makes this messenger “covert” is that it looks just like a normal messenger during the day. The unique center panel has a tight weave that hides the 3M reflective filament below . At night, however, when the black fabric is hit by a light source, it lets in just enough light to allow the reflective material underneath to shine. If you’re a Timbuk2 fan, there’s no need to worry. You still get all the same great features that you would come to expect from the brand, the internal organizer pockets, extra-heavy-duty stitching and waterproof liner. They’ve just added a little extra something to keep you safe at night.

What this means to you: What you do in the wee hours of the night is up to you, but go about it safely.

We enjoy the outdoors like everyone else. It’s our little bit of freedom away from the office, whether it’s a weekend camping trip to the mountains, an excursion to the North Pole, or a safari through Tanzania, we can’t be without the essentials – our cellphones, pda’s, and ipods.
