pet evacuation jacket japan1 300x124 Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket Will Save Your Pets Life and Yours TooThe Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket is probably the stupidest and smartest thing I have ever seen. Stupid because it looks utterly ridiculous on your pet. Smart because it will probably help save its life in a disaster as well as yours. Made from material used by Japanese firefighters, this flame retardant suit protects your pet and is equipped with a handle to quickly make a run for it when a situation gets deadly. The jacket holds an abundance of items that could be heavier than your pet like a food bowl, rubber booties, muzzle, rain coat, freezer gel packs, nutrition bars, etc..you can fit enough crap in this jacket to feed you and your pet for atleast a few days, if your dog or cat’s back isn’t broken by then from schlepping it around. The Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket retails for $475 at Japan Trend Shop. We didn’t say safety comes cheap!

9dfa12cd7d6a72cf234ff69765360e04image484x550 264x300 Lucky Star Nyamo USB Drive for Anime Fanatics I’m not really that into Anime in general, but the Lucky Star’s Nyamo 2GB USB Flash Drive is just too adorable if you’re a cat lover.  For those who want to know who Nyamo is, it is a self-portrait of the Lucky Star Manga-ka, Yoshimizu Kagami. Its feline head comes off the base and is easily placed inside a USB port to easily transfer files. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come preloaded with any goodies, but it is a collectible since only 500 of them will be made. You can pre-order it from KidNemo in two weeks for $71.99.

sx200is 300x225 New Canon PowerShot SX200 IS   is a Super Zoomy Compact

The new Canon PowerShot SX200 IS packs in a lot of features considering that it’s still just a compact camera. For starters it’s got a 12x optical zoom to compliment its 12.1 megapixels. It’s also capable of going up to IS0 3200, it has got a 3.0″ LCD screen, an optical image stabilizer, and for those who dig HD – you can record HD video with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. The SX200 IS also has HDMI output so you can connect it directly to your TV. Design wise, it’s got a somewhat traditional and boxy looking design which might not appeal to everyone, but it does come in the color choices of black, red, or blue. The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is available now for $349.99. Overall, this is definitely more of a prosumer compact, and we expect it to make great shots like most of the PowerShot line.

Tom Hanks Betrays Sony, Definitely Uses a Kindle

kindletoomhanks 300x225 Tom Hanks Betrays Sony, Definitely Uses a KindleIt seems that Tom Hanks is having a problem discerning where his true gadgets alliances are. At CES just two months ago, he made a grand speech about how much he used Sony products. But then he hit a snafu. “Describing his electronic book, Hanks pretended to call out Amazon.com’s Kindle instead of Sony’s product, saying he’s using ‘The Ki … Sony Digital Reader, which is a fine product in its own right.’” Hmm, Tom?
To make matters worse, we just caught this quote in People magazine from Tom.
“I got a kindle for newspapers and magazines, not for books. Quite frankly, I prefer to buy books from my neighborhood bookstore.” (People magazine, March 30th, 2009).
Well Tom, we only have one thing to say for you and it’s this – you can’t go on on like this, swinging both ways – gadgets have feelings too ya know.
