Here's some pretty cool new products coming up from Energizer. They range from cell phone boosters to usb camera battery chargers and laptop extenders. Check out the full article.

Here's a couple of interesting Arduino add-ons that I ran accross recently. The first is the ScrewShield, which should add some much needed wire retention capability to a standard Arduino board.

The second is the Mega Lithium Backpack which is essentially a lithium-ion battery pack and voltage regulator board for the Arduino Mega. It is supposed to provide at least 15 hours of battery life.

While I find Twitter to be of dubious usefulness, I am continually amazed at how many cool projects people have created which utilize their service. This one in particular is an awesome mash-up of the old with the new. Check out the Arduino code and videos of it in action at Oomlout.

This looks like a nice assortment of sensors, I might just have to order myself a set. Another great product from Adafruit.

Very handy, via Tinkerlog.
