Received a great gift for Christmas; a die cast VW Camper memory stick from SpinningHat.com. From their web site:
Trade in your boring old memory stick for a superior model!
These officially licensed dinky die cast cars cleverly conceal an impressive 256MB of flash drive memory. Each car also comes with a USB extender cable, so that your classic car can remain on your desk whilst still plugged in to your computer, for all to see.
As soon as you start transferring data the tiny headlights on the front of the unit will flash indicating activity. Solve your data transportation needs in style and be the envy of the office!
Pity it doesn’t come in anything higher than 256MB, but it’s a pretty cool novelty item nonetheless….

A couple of days ago I posted about the VolksWorld Magazine Digital Subscription available on the Barnes & Noble web site. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the popular VolksWorld Camper & Bus magazine is also available as a digital subscription. Each issue is currently selling for $4.98 (cheaper if you’re a Barnes & Noble member):

VolksWorld is a great magazine from the UK, but sometimes it’s difficult to track down a copy in the USA where I now live.
Usually I can pick up a copy in my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, but (a) they don’t always have them in stock and (b) it’s kind of expensive at $8.95 an issue.
Enter the One Year Digital Magazine Subscription from Zinio. Check out the savings compared to the regular cover price:
Cover price - $64.74
Online price - $23.27 ($20.94 if you’re a Barnes & Noble member)
I signed up last week and immediately received the January 2009 edition in my inbox (pdf format of course). Admittedly it’s nice to own the physical copy of the magazine, but this way I’m guaranteed to receive VolksWorld (actually the subscription is for 13 issues) and I don’t have to take a trip to Barnes & Noble several times each month. The $$$ saving is pretty nice too of course…..
