Here’s a good gadget to have around. This is a true writing pen, which happens to capture video and store it on a 4GB USB. It’s a little a la James Bond but it’s a perfect tool to have around. Who knows what needs to be recorded during your regular day? And if nothing spectacular happens, then you still get to write with it. The only downside is the price.
