February 16, 2007
The term “super cool” is used by the chic in Paris to signify someone or something that is beyond mere cool, ascending to a place of almost legendary or mythical coolness. French actor Olivier Martinez is the very personification of that term.

What does strike you immediately when you meet him in person is his easy smile, his suave French charm and his generally friendly, albeit somewhat philosophical nature. [Read more]

Get your exercise, save your money and help the environment, all before 9:00 a.m. The Mobiky Genius Folding Bike is perfect for commuters on the go. It folds and unfolds like an accordion in just three seconds, so you can easily take it on a train or bus. Carry it into your home or office so it’s never in danger of becoming a theft statistic. Folded, it rolls beside you along busy sidewalks or subway platforms. While the wheels are smaller than those on an average bike, they cover the same amount of ground thanks to a dual chain system. You won’t worry about dirtying your work clothes since front and rear fenders on the wheels protect them. Before long, you’ll wonder how you ever got to work without your Genius Folding Bike.
Abacus MobileWear Caller ID Watch
February 16, 2007
If you are one of those people who needs to know who is calling without even looking at your phone, the Abacus MobileWear Caller ID watch by Fossil is for you. Using Bluetooth technology, it vibrates to alert you of an incoming call, while a screen displays who is calling or sending a text message. Use it along with a wireless headset, and you can answer calls hands-free. It is the perfect accessory when you’re on the go and your cell phone is tucked away in a briefcase or purse. You can see who is calling and decide whether to answer immediately or let the caller leave a message. Nothing will make you feel like more of a secret agent than discretely checking your watch for important calls. Of course, the watch also tells the time, but that’s not nearly as exciting.
