			<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>

Another addition to my useless gadgets list is the maybe.. cool, e T-shirt. This black cotton T comes with its own battery pack and a neon light display for your chest. The led display t-shirt comes from a Chinese manufacturer and is called the TQ Raver.The Raver is supposed to &#8220;enhance&#8221; your clubbing experience by making you the envy of every club-goer in town by having your own graphic equalizer display right across your body.<br />
<blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-style: none; padding: 0px" class="webkit-indent-blockquote"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">The TQ Raver is now improved with streamlined design and advanced technology to enhance your clubbing experience even further. The technology has been visibly refined with an even lighter thinner display, brighter colours and more responsive graphic equaliser. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /></span><br />
<blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; border-style: none; padding: 0px" class="webkit-indent-blockquote"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">The TQ Raver literally turns you into a human graphic equaliser, as its wide spectrum controller processes the music around you. Each musical frequency detected activates a different coloured equaliser bar, just like the equalisers on home stereos and the latest digital recording equipment. The built-in controller can be intuitively adjusted to respond to chilled out low level sound or the heaviest loudest metal and house that you can stand. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span"><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" />Yes, your clothing can also move with the music on the dance floor. The downside may be having to dance with a battery pack strapped to your chest, but hey, I hear it unplugs for easy washing.<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /><br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" />The t-shirt is hand wash only <br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" />100% cottonThe battery pack can be unplugged for easy washing. <br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /></span><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">Requires 4 regular AAA Batteries.</span>  Sold and made by <span style="color: #232323; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px" class="Apple-style-span">Zhenteng Toys Gifts Co</span></p>

It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotinesolution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.</span>   </p></blockquote>

<p>Being a new and maybe nutty idea, it is not yet readily available and actually banned in a few countries, however, I did manage to find it on made-in-china: here is the product desc.<br />
