7. All Talk
------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.visiball.com/
Anyone who has played golf knows how much of a pain it can be sometimes a lost ball. That's why when we came across Visiball this week we thought it would be interesting for any of our golfer subscribers. Visiball are specially designed glasses that block out the majority of foliage making lost golf balls easily visible.

We also came across the Thanko USB radio, a great idea for anyone who still enjoys listening to FM radio. The hardware USB device allows anyone with a USB port to pickup and listen to their local radio station as well as directly record radio station in WAV/WMA format to their computer.
