With the weather slowly cooling off, soon all of the flowers will die, at least the ones outdoors.  Leaving most of us with nothing but dead plants and very cold wet snow.  Well with all the plants dead, you might end up missing some of the pretty flowers.  Now you can pick up a glowing USB flower that will stay in bloom year round.  Even when outside it is ice cold and everything looks gray and white.  Yes, I’m just thrilled that winter will be here soon.  So thrilled I think I’ll just hibernate all winter and never go outside, seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Well, just surround your desk with these cute little USB flowers and not only will you have plenty of task lighting, but you’ll never get the winter blues.  The lamp comes in three different colors, red, blue and orange.  The lamp has eight bright LEDs built-in and the flower stem itself can adjust to give you lighting where you need it.  You can also power it by using 3 AA batteries instead of plugging it into your USB port.  The flower will cost you $15 from Gadget4all.

Much like cell phones, GPS units, and just about every other electronic device under the sun, digital picture frames seem to snowball more and more features every month. While earlier tricks such as playing MP3s and displaying RSS feeds have been quaint, really useful features have been quite elusive.

LG takes one step closer to a truly useful and multifunctional LCD frame with its DP889 8-inch portable photo frame, which just doesn’t do static images – it does DVDs. At home, it’s a stationary centerpiece for photos, and on the road, it’s a portable entertainment system to stave off boredom and the snoring of the guy next to you.

Since not many people want to carry a wood-trimmed picture frame onto a plane, switch off Grandma and turn on Transformers, LG’s designers have done their best to make the DP889 fit in as both a picture frame and a portable DVD player. Its flat face and gloss-black bezel would look at home on an end table, but its rounded edges and smooth profile also give a comfy-to-hold look more common to PMPs. Most of the controls have been relocated to the side where they are less conspicuous, and its DVD player functionality has been disguised best of all – it cracks open down the middle to reveal the interior disc reader.

Here is something pretty cool for the kideos or maybe even teaching your wife or girlfriend where money really comes from. The ATM Piggy Bank comes with a bank card and pin number that you have to use to deposit and withdraw money.  Every time you make a transaction the ATM machine keeps your balance for you.

The website says it is for kids 8 years and older but I am thinking of getting my other half one so she can see where my money is going. Usually shopping.

You can order the ATM Piggy Bank at I Want One of Those for about £24.99.

These buckles are solid brass toned metal buckles, inset with shiny metallic graphics. They are all hand assembled and set with a tough, clear industrial epoxy finish. They are very durable, and resist scratches and scuffs. The buckles measure 3 1/4″ accross, and 2 1/2″ tall. They will fit any snap belt, up to 1 3/4″ wide.

I can’t remember the last time I was playing some online game on the Wii for that long. In order to compete in the ever-growing online gaming industry, the Nintendo Wii will have to put out more games that can be played online. I suppose a router designed for it is just the next logical step.

As you can see, the Wii router is designed to match your Nintendo Wii and even comes in that wonderful Wii white. You can also see it has all the ports you need for the setup.

Unfortunately, it appears to be available only in Japan. Why isn’t it being marketed all over the world? Who knows. Considering the rarity of the Wii, perhaps they want to make the accessory even more rare.

If you really want this router, and you are in Japan, you should be able to purchase it for about $50 and they went on sale September 18th.

It looks like it's turning into iPod week at the True Gadgets Blog. Okay so not for the hardcore rocker in the house but I think the kids would love the Hello Kitty iPod DJ Speaker. Hello Kitty in a DJ booth with a speaker in the base is a pretty cool juxtaposition of dance music and Kitty. She even bops her head back and forth with the music. Plug in your iPod or similar music playing device and observe the cuteness for yourself. If you're really looking to give in and completely "cute out" we recommend the pink version.  It also comes in a much cooler black as pictured to the right. It plugs into the headphone jack of any audio device you might have. The Hello Kitty Action DJ Speaker is available from ThinkGeek for only $24.99.
