Logitech G5 laser mouse

In professional video game contests, where thousands of dollars are up for grabs, having the right equipment is crucial.For hardcore PC gamers, the level of control offered by a computer mouse can mean the difference between success and failure.
"Gamers are our hardest critics," said Logitech's Kate Brinks."People who buy our mice take them apart to take parts out or put in extra weight, and this voids the warranty."Logitech has tried to address some of these concerns by developing a mouse with its own weight-tuning internal system.The G5 laser mouse comes with 16 miniature weights, eight weighing 1.7 grams and eight weighing 4.5 grams.Eight of these can be placed inside the mouse to customise the weight and balance.Logitech hopes this will satisfy gamers who are looking for a mouse that feels exactly as they like.

Jet Powered Scooter

This is my street-legal jet car on full afterburner. The car has two engines: the production gasoline engine in the front driving the front wheels and the jet engine in the back. The idea is that you drive around legally on the gasoline engine and when you want to have some fun, you spin up the jet and get on the burner (you can start the jet while driving along on the gasoline engine). The car was built because I wanted the wildest street-legal ride possible. With this project, I was able to use some stuff I learned while getting my fancy engineering degree (I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University) to design a street-legal jet car without the distraction of how other people have done it in the past - because no one has. I don't know how fast the car will go and probably never will. The car was built to thrill me, not kill me. That doesn't stop me from the occasional blast on the highway though.
