Yes, you saw a horrible, classic-Jai pun coming on, and you were right. Plus, you don’t actually get to type words on it anyway, it just looks like a keyboard.

Rated by ArsTechnica as possibly the "Worst Gadget Ever", and seen by most everyone else as an absolute STEAL (of the consumer’s money), BBOpen has found some truly valuable ways to use this inexpensive tablet device.
See for yourself!
Look, it’s an ERASABLE tablet!
While it may make a totally useful cutting board, be careful what you cut - the screen is soft and the entire device is made of plastic!
Now THIS is STYLE! And look how nicely those colors work!.

Not quite sure how to figure out temps for the other three days…
Let’s be clear, this post is about this book’s implementation technology, not it’s content - most of you will find the content to be as simplistic as it’s apparent audience (babies).
That said, Google has just put up a very cool children’s book about basic web stuff.

Runs without Flash in Firefox 3.6 and Chrome (at least).

As I said, it’s modeled as a book for babies (which I think is totally cool!)
The page turning is accomplished in numerous ways, the coolest of which is to grab the page and pull it with the mouse! (Remember, this is HTML, NOT FLASH!)
Here’s a brief view of the contents of the book - basic, but adequate to show off the tech.

‘Nuff said.
I want to go from Fukuoka, Japan to Shanghai, China!
Here’s my route, but there’s that big space of water along the route…
Oh. I guess I’ll need to rent one then...
You’ll probably see these everywhere before too long, but this is the first time I’ve come across them - and they’re totally cool!
ThinkGeek is selling a standard D20 (20-Sided Die for those of you who aren’t that flavor of geek) that flashes when you roll a crit (roll a 20)! How awesome is that?!?
This D20 will definitely bring out the cheers when someone in your party crits and important roll!
