We found out a couple days ago that other Geeks are as interested in indoor remote control flying contraptions as we are when FARK picked up our Gizmo of the Day article on the Remote Control Indoor Butterfly Flyer. While searching our favorite sites, we ran across another such gizmo, except this involves yet even another geek passion… UFOs!
This 2005 Toy Innovation Winner in the Technology Category finally makes use of the technology uncovered years ago at Roswell!

The Remote-Control Camera adds panning ability to any camera (wired or wireless). This gizmo can pan your cameras up to 370 degrees and you can remotely control the movement from up to 150 feet away.
Too bad the camera base cannot be controlled from a web site. There are several products that have that ability, but pricing is a little spooky on them.

What’s this? The Gizmo of the Day is a light switch?
We’re not being anti-climatic… actually, the Gizmo of the Day is perhaps the smartest toggle style dimmer switch because it is INSTEON-enabled. Smarthome finally released the toggle-style dimmer a couple days ago for purchase and the Geeks decided to feature even though it’s still a pre-order item (we tend to wait until you can get your hands on a gizmo before featuring).

The coolness factor really kicks in as the turret elevates to 45-degrees, rotates 350-degrees left and right and then launches up to 10 foam missles at once.

The Geeks scour web sites selling the latest gizmos to bring you amazing gizmos you can buy that you actually want. We think we found a dandy in the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard.
This gizmo is a tiny device that projects a keyboard on any surface allowing you to type on the virtual keyboard. It even simulates key clicks for the retro effect. The Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard not only works with your desktop or laptop, but any bluetooth enabled device including PDAs, Smartphones and Tablets.

The walls of your cube cannot contain the things you can fling using eiher the Catapult or Trebuchet Kits. First you can build the kit to learn all about the science of flinging stuff then you can take aim at your cube neighbors and fling random items at them while shouting “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.”
“Now go away before a taunt you a second time.”
