<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-182" title="watch-ring" src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/watch-ring-300x198.jpg" alt="watch-ring" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<p>The <a title="watch ring" href="http://damp-dry.com/tag/watch/">watch ring</a> is made by Charles Windlin. The watch ring works for a man or a woman and has an lcd screen embedded into a silver band that is edged in gold.</p>
<p>The only problem I see with this concept is durability since we all know that lcd screens are easily damaged and rings, no matter how carefull you are, always end up scratched and banged around.</p>
<p>Anyway, a stylish and sleek way to tell time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love having your video close but tired of lugging around that clunky Ipod? If so, then here&#8217;s a gadget just for you. It&#8217;s a very techy video watch that plays all your favorite videos and maybe even tells time. The telling time part I am not clear on since the manufacturer left that part out of the description.</p>
<p>The <a title="Crazy Watches - more useless gadgets" href="http://damp-dry.com/2009/for-work/crazy-watches-more-useless-gadgets/">crazy watch</a> below has a 1.5 inch video screen, 8 Gigs of memory and supports multiple video and image formats including support for e-books. Good luck reading that e-book on a 1.5 inch screen though.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-178" title="video-watch" src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/video-watch-300x298.jpg" alt="video-watch" width="300" height="298" /></p>
<p>Seems manufacturers are trying to stick an lcd screen onto just about everything these days, so why not a <a title="video wrist watch" href="http://damp-dry.com/tag/video-wrist-watch/">video wrist watch</a>? The picture may be a bit too small to see clearly and forget about trying to decipher the titles on any music videos. The idea is that it looks ultra hi tech and you will look either very cool or very geeky wearing it.</p>
<p><em><strong>Here is another model of the video watch&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>This hi techpower watch is made in China, go figure, by Chinavision. China is great for <a title="Crazy Watches - more useless gadgets" href="http://damp-dry.com/2009/for-work/crazy-watches-more-useless-gadgets/">hi tech useless gizmos</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-177" title="video-watch-2" src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/video-watch-2-270x300.jpg" alt="video-watch-2" width="270" height="300" />The <a title="Crazy Watches - more useless gadgets" href="http://damp-dry.com/2009/for-work/crazy-watches-more-useless-gadgets/">crazy watch</a> supports media files of AVI, MP4, WMV, ASF, MPG, MPEG, DAT, RM, MOV, MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG and BMP formats with 8GB of memory. The display size is 1.8 inches, making it a very large and manly watch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want one of these so bad, but they are not available where I live. Check this out&#8230;</p>
<p>For anyone who lives in a small apartment with limited space this would be a blessing. The product I am talking about is the plastic, shrunken version of the clunky, expensive, metal, <a href="http://damp-dry.com/category/washers/">washer</a> / dryer units available in most American Stores.When I walk into a Sears, there are isles of huge, stainless steel, washing machines and dryers. All of them need to be<a href="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mini-washing-machine.jpg" title="mini washing machine"><img src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mini-washing-machine.jpg" alt="mini washing machine" align="left" vspace="5" hspace="5" /></a> installed in a laundry area with appropriate hookups and the cheapest, no-frills, single cycle models start at around $300 USD.So, whats going on? why is it that in other<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px" class="Apple-style-span"></span></span> c<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px" class="Apple-style-span"></span></span>ountries, small, plastic, <a href="http://damp-dry.com/category/washers/" title="portable washer">portable washer</a> / dryers are available with tons of features and cycles for a fraction of the cost of ours here?  <span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">The mini washer available anywhere but the US, I guess since I have never seen one in any store. The mini washer weighs a few pounds and seems perfect for apartment living.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">The model on the left is one of 100&#8217;s available from many manufacturers in Asia. The mini washer weighs under 20 lbs. and can handle a few lbs. of clothing at a time. For larger loads, there are larger portable washers in a slew of colors and cool designs.</span></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/washing-machine-cute.jpg" alt="cute washer" width="257" height="257" /></p>
<p> There are also twin tub models available so you can do your delicates and cottons at the same time&#8230; ultra cool!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/twin-tub-washing-machine-2.jpg" alt="twin-tub-washing-machine-2.jpg" width="234" height="234" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><img src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mini-tumble-clothes-dryer.thumbnail.jpg" alt="mini clothing dryer" align="left" vspace="5" hspace="5" /></span></span></span></p>
<p>To dry your clothes, there is the mini dryer below. The dryer is only about 1.5 ft in height and can pretty much sit on your counter top. The product description from the manufacturer is below&#8230; remember, this is a made in china product and their english translation is not too hot. Also, I gotta add, the no fire thing&#8230; makes me wonder about previous models. <img src='http://damp-dry.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">Product Features </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">The dryer is recently developed by our company, it is suitable for all families, no fire, automaticly control temperatures according to different kind clothes, and clothes quality can be protected properly and unfold clothes fibre, after drying the clothes will be soft and level up as original new; It can keep air pollute form clothes and kill bacterium etc., it is the best coachfellow and assistant of your life. </span></p></blockquote>
<p>Here is another cool mini, portable dryer</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://damp-dry.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1-5kg-mini-portable-spin-clothes-dryer.jpg" alt="mini dryer" /></p>
<p>I want one&#8230; sooooo badly.</p>
