Thanks to a few native Apple applications and a couple of cheap third-party ones the digital newsstand can not only deliver the day’s news (or I guess yesterday’s news) but can also be used to play photo slideshows, music and videos.

wooden compucurve
It includes custom 3D software for creating your own designs and even though it’s claimed to be user friendly I imagine there’s a bit of a learning curve depending on how complex you want those designs to be. And while it does require a PC the designs are transferred to the machine via memory cards so that your computer doesn’t have to be in the same sawdust filled room. Of course given the CompuCarve’s relatively compact size it can only handle materials up to 5 inches high and 14 1/2 inches long meaning you’re somewhat limited to only producing stuff like 3D signs and ornate wooden boxes.
The Craftsman CompuCarve is available from Sears for $1,899.

Dreamate
If life’s got you a bit too stressed to get a good night’s sleep you’ll be happy to know there’s a whole industry dedicated to helping you finally catch some Z’s. But if unnecessary medication isn’t your thing there are alternatives like the Dreamate Sleep Aid. It’s a special wrist band you’re supposed to wear when you’re ready to go to bed that delivers a “comfortable double-frequency micro-massage (via a vibration motor) to specific pulse points — called the Sleeping Golden Triangle in traditional Chinese medicine — to safely relieve stress and induce sleep.”
Apparently this ‘Sleeping Golden Triangle’ is three acupuncture points located on the wrist that are responsible for calming, relieving stress and sleep inducing and stimulating these points with vibration can actually help put you under. Of course if it doesn’t work you can always go back to downing a bottle of children’s cough medicine when it’s time to hit the hay. (Please note: OhGizmo does not officially recommend downing a bottle of children’s cough syrup for either medical or entertainment purposes.)
The Dreamate is currently available fromGaiam for $99.
