Shownotes:
The Messless Charger looks like a futuristic fruit bowl, but holds phone and other portable electronics. It looks like it’s only available in the UK at the moment.
Jens Stoltenberg, Norway’s Prime Minister, deserves some geek cred. Take a look at his monitor setup!
The Cordless Rechargable Margarita Machine will give you up to 70 margartias before needing recharging, and you can adjust the slushiness factor to suit your preferences.
Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking takes a look at cooking in a very geeky way. By understanding the ratios that go into a particular dish, the author says you’ll be able to cook anything.
A company called Neoluxiim is working on a Solar Power e-ink Display that can be charged even by indoor lighting.

Hey Cali,
Just thought that I would let you know but the video doesn’t want to buffer. I am not sure if this is happening to anyone else.
I did however manage to get the Windows Media Player Direct Download to work.

Hi Cali,
“… the video doesn’t want to buffer. I am not sure if this is happening to anyone else. I did however manage to get the Windows Media Player Direct Download to work.”
Same problem here, I had also to click on “Windows Media” Link to make it work.
Thanks Cali and Neil for your show,
From France.

Yes, if you’re trying to watch the Flash player, they seem to be having some issues on the back end. Try iTunes or the Direct Download. Sorry about that!

Cali,
I was able to see video using the windows media direct download. Thanks for the help.
I like the rechargable Margarita machine.
And yes our summers are quite warm . Especially this year.
Hope to see you soon. We have some new technology to show you.
I’ll be back in contact when we are ready to unveil.
Thanks
Bruce

Can’t view the video. It will not buffer for me either. Also won’t shoe on the iPhone like it normally does. Had a similar problem with the last brief but just waited a fee days and it was resolved. I suspect mevio is the problem.

That messless thing is definitely great stuff! http://www.yourmessless.com
I bought one and it is really useful. NintendoDS, Blackberry and iPod charged all in one place with no more chargers mess.
The messless base is really stylish; the touch of Giugiaro (www.giugiarodesign.it) is something relevant. In addition the connections within the connectors and the base are through USB so this allows using the connector alone as a travel charger with the laptop or any computer! Also the USB in the base allows connecting any USB regular cord charger to it!
As I said, great stuff! Thanks for brought it here Cali!! :)

Cali,
How do you spell guigero? I can’t find their website cause I’m spelling it wrong.
