If you're brave enough to pull yourself together and go running through wintry early mornings and dark afternoons, then you probably want some sort of flashlight with you to ensure you know where you're going and help you keep safe. If this concept were put into practice, you'd no longer have to, and you'd be helping the environment by avoiding disposable batteries.

Ever wanted a personalised MP3 player? Forget skins, paint jobs from Colorware or knitted iPod socks; what you want is your very own handmade London Underground MP3 player. An intrepid Make blogger has done just that with a Tube map pencil case and some geeky innards.
Have a habit of changing your living room's colour scheme? Self-confessed design geek? Obsessed with sofas that look like Post-it notes have been stuck all over them? If you answered 'yes' to any of these, you might want one of these Pixel Couches.
Casio's newest press release header doesn't even refer to the EXILIM Card EX-S10 as a camera but as a 'catwalk accessory', so from the start it's clear that these new digital compact cams are all about style. What about substance?
I seem to be knee deep in rechargeable LED gadgets today, but it's all for the greater environmental good, so bring it on. After the dinky but not really necessary candles comes this far more indispensable gadget. Anyone who's ever owned or borrowed a car knows that an emergency torch is a very, very useful thing. This one doesn't waste energy or require hand cranking either, with the ability to charge quickly in the car's cigarette lighter.
One of the pictures above is of a highly intelligent, talented author of comic books and fantasy fiction. The other is of a frustrating operating system that finally made me give up and migrate to Mac. The first does not like the second. I knew I liked the first for a reason (other than the talent).
Wind-up radios have, for a while now, been the default eco-friendly option for music on the go and around the house. However, companies like PURE have been working on creating an environmentally sound alternative that means no compromise on crystal clear listening pleasure.
It can get to the point with laptop cases, bags and sleeves where it's hard to get enthused unless they're ugly as hell or really, really beautiful. At least with Redmaloo there's a third option: enjoying the unusual, practical design.
I'm not convinced there's necessarily a correlation between using gadgetry in bed and not having sex. Oh, not that way; I mean if you do have your phone sitting on the nightstand (80% of Britons) and happen to send and receive messages from it (25% of those), that doesn't mean you're not also indulging in a spot of hide the stylus.
MSNBC begs to disagree.
Let's Peel Eggs comes to you as an unfinished lamp for you to customise. Just hack into the thin, apparently eco-friendly, plastic coating and peel it like you would an egg, revealing as much or as little of the light beneath as you want. I wonder what the returns policy on something like this is...
It's true, I'm obsessed with watches. Particularly ones that have plinky plonky lights and that, even though I wear a traditional analogue dial. Diesel has obliged me by producing a watch with a dual colour OLED screen.
I am a little obsessed with eco-friendly prototypes, convinced as I am that the next indispensable yet environmentally sound product is going to hail from this wealth of, frankly, nuttiness. Such a one is this toilet-mounted washing machine which decants the water from your laundry into the toilet tank to be reused for flushing.
When you work on the Internet, broken links abound and it's worth being able to yell or Skype across the room to find out if you're the only one who's seeing the dreaded timed out screen. This is a site that will save you (and everyone else) the bother.
Maybe you can't afford really high end speakers, or perhaps you just want to make the most of the money you spent. It's possible your hearing isn't what it was or just that you really like looking like Mickey Mouse. Whatever your reasons, you might just like looking ridiculous turning the volume up with Batphones.
