Spoonful of Sugar

Dispensing medicine to infants and toddlers is never easy, those little

suckers turn their heads and you end up putting the stuff right in their

ear or they just spit it out all over the place. So how about using their

own natural instincts to help them out. All babies, well, most babies,

like to suckle on a binky, and Medicine Dispenser by Kidz-Med has a

chamber for the medicine. It has a plunger to help deliver the medicine

to the back of the baby's tongue or you can just let them use their natural

sucking action to deliver the goods. The Medicine Dispenser by Kidz-Med

delivers the medicine in a simple and easy way so that your baby may not

even know they are taking it.

$10 - Medicine Dispenser

What's Hot Doc?

Its not easy to get a baby's temperature sometime. Heck, Baby's just

don't like holding still for eating so why would they hold still for

an in the ear thermometer much less a 'rectal" thermometer. So how

about an infrared thermometer that you just point at your baby's head,

navel, or arm pit. No need for a probe covers or disturbing your baby's

sleep. Your baby will never even know you took their temperature. Check

out the '''Thermofocus''' also by Kid-Med.

$100 - Thermofocus

Check out the other great products from this company at Kidz-Med.com

Look! I'm on TV

O.K., so you got you baby in their rear-facing car seat in the back

or a child in the third row of the SUV, but you can't see how they

are doing, and that dual mirror trick just don't cut it. So what's

a good techie mom to do? Well, get the Automobile Monitor by Summer

Infant of course. Day or night, this 2.5" dash-mounted color screen

will let you keep an eye on the baby and the other one on the road.

The camera mounts to a variety of head rests. Both units will plug

into the car power outlet.

$150 - Automobile Monitor

Summer Infant has many more great products at Summer Infant

Don't Touch That!

If your children are like mine, one of them is accidentally unbuckling

the car seat buckle or the toddler is getting to smart for his own

britches and unbuckling himself! Well, someone figured out how to stop

those pesky kids with the Safeclip. This device prevents accidental

release but allows quick access to the buckle in case of emergency.

It attaches in mere seconds and is easily removable.

Â4.99 - Safeclip

What A Change

German designer, Tim Schinkle, has created a couple of beautiful

wall mounted baby changing stations that would look great in your

baby's room. These changing stations are terrifically space saving

and can be converted into a child's fold down desk later such as the

OWO. You'll have to get them from Germany as there are no distributors

here in the US as far as I know, but they will ship practically world wide.

OWO â274,-- (about $356) - OWO

Check out the other beautiful products and products at Timkid.

Ski Baby Ski

I found this cool baby product and thought what fun and what trouble

this could be. Skis for your baby stroller! Now that's cool!

BabyfactoryUSA.com has these skis that will fit just about any single

or dual wheeled stroller with wheels up to 12" in diameter. The skis

are wide and have a grove to keep them tracking easily and even come

with a carrying and storage bag. Of course we don't need these here

in Elk Grove as it was a balmy 63 degrees F and not a cloud in sight.

Oh well.

$35 - Stroller Skis

iWhat???

O.K. The whole "i-insert name of device here" thing is really starting

to get to me, but hey this is cool... If you don't mind giving your kid

control of your iPod. ifrogz has come out with a silicone case just for

kids and the iPod called Tadpole. Cute ain't it. Anyway, this is not

your ordinary silicone case.. Its an ifrogz case and has a variety of

colors and an optional screen and click wheel protector of which you

can customize. I have our Show #25 ifrogz case winner's review later

in the show so stay tuned.

$25 w/ screen protector - ifrogz Tadpole

iCaramba... Not another i-Thingy

Yeah well, hey, I found it just had to let you know about it. So here

it is, the iCrib Sound System by Munchkin. This device hangs on the side

of the crib and pumps in the tunes to the crib from any MP3 player. It

will auto shut off after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. It also has a color

changing night light , but don't forget to buy batteries too as this

does not come with an AC adapter. No you won't be finding the lullaby

playlist on my iPod, but still looks cool. The web site has a store

locator by using your ZIP code. Apparently I can get one at Target.

$33 - iCrib

Getting Serious for a Moment

I hate to bring this up but it has to be mentioned... Over 2000 children

are reported missing everyday, what are you going to do if this happens

to you? It could take about an hour or two to get all the viatl information

you will need to provide the authorities about your missing child. I found

this, the AMBER stickâ. It is a usb stick that has all the vital information

that is necessary to generate Missing Persons Flyers and import into law

enforcement's computers. Everyting is encrypted and password protected for

privacy. All the software for the access of the information is right on the

stick and works with Windows ME and higher. Update as often as you want and

even upload to a central server database where the information can be available

to be distributed to law enforcement all over the US with email/password

combination for authorized access.

$50 for (1) or (2) for $40 each - Amber stick

Christmas Give-A-Way

Dean Jensen - SoHo Tech Podcast

SanDisk Crusier Micro 1GB USB Flash Drive 1GB USB

Norb's 2006 Tech Predictions Review

Prediction #1- The PDA/Phone/Camera/MP3/Video Player all in one. Not that Apple will come out with one, but hey, if anyone were to, they would make it sexy.

Got It Right - Sony/Ericsson p990i

Prediction #2- Digital Audio providers such as Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo! Music will be providing Pay-for-Play video and âunlimitedâ services. This will include shows from the major networks, cable, and movie channels such as HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime. Expect Netflix to be in the running too.

Got It Somewhat Right - Several providers have network programs for sale such as iTunes

Prediction #3- Podcasting will explode as well as videocasting. Already there is Digital Life TV featuring the former TechTV âScreen Saversâ cast members Robert Herron and Patrick Norton doing tech like no one else. Soon you will see indie show series that will break new ground and allow for greater freedoms than even cable provided.

Got It Right - Tiki Bar and numerous others.

Prediction #4- More root-kits will be revealed in what was thought to be âSafe Softwareâ, such the one revealed by Symantec in their Norton SystemWorks program. Sony was the first to get caught, but will they be the last? Or will other software makers fess up like Symantec?

Nope, haven't heard of anything since then. Are they gone or just better at hiding?

Prediction #5- SP-3 for Windows? Well, after the Windows Meta File exploit found at the beginning of the year, I predict that there will be at least one mor major flaw, or in this case, âfeatureâ that causes Microsoft to issue a Service Pack even though they have said that they would not issue one until some time later in â07. Can you say Open Source?

Mike, No SP-3 Officially, but a lot of Patch Tuesdays that could be rolled up into one, Right?

Prediction #6- Plasma TV prices will drop around the end of the year to about $2000 for a 42â 1080i screen with good contrast ratios. Expect a relatively lesser known manufacturer to lead the charge.

Got It Right - Philips 42PF7321D/37 42 1080i Plasma TV $1,269.00 Digital Meaga Store

Prediction #7- iPod and one of the satellite radio services will join forces. Not an integration of Sirius or XM into the iPod, but iTunes featuring shows from the services and the in-car players will hook up to your iPod so you can play tour tunes or recorded programs.

Sort of Got It Right - Samsung and XM got together Samsung NeXus50

Prediction #8- A relatively unknown company will develop the next generation of DVD technology sinking the HD-DVD and Blue-Ray DVDs because they are fighting each other and not looking over their shoulder.

Nope, nothing yet...

Prediction #9- New homes will come with built-in communications packages including iPod docks for your home audio system, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and VOIP.

Nope, haven't noticed anything yet...

Prediction #10- Apple makes deals with other hardware manufacturers to make Apple branded Camcorders and Digital Cameras.

Blew this one, but hey a lot of other people predicted the iPhone. We all know what happened there.

Prediction #11- DV and DVD camcorders go by the wayside because Hard Drive based High Definition and 3-CCD models take over and are cheaper.

Got It Right... Sort of.

Prediction #12- TiVo will unveil a dock that allows you to sync your video iPod straight to the TiVo so you can have âLostâ for free.

TiVo is scared to get stomped on by lawyers.

Changing It Up Again

Norbtek.info back to just me and shorter but more focused show. Mike and I start-up a new podcast... YouTube Video @ 11:00 - Just kidding. More details to follow in the new year
