Could definitely use this on my next camping trip


I'm not too sure on the size of this lamp, but the idea looks pretty good. Wind up torches (flashlights for the confused out there) have been out for a little while now, as a step up from the solar powered variety, potentially a lovely paperweight at night, but this new wind up LED lamp has me interested. I'm also not too certain on the full power of this lamp, since my school computer blocks any sales sites (and I'm not going to wait to write this till I get home), but if I can light a campsite area fairly well without involving lighting any gas, wood, or remembering to charge the batteries in my torch the night before my camping trip (normally a blur), then that'd be just great in my books.
Found the item yet again on gizmodo, which is generally reliable to have at least one decent item to check out on most days.
Will have to check out price and availability when I get home.

Just stick with one name, please

The photo section on news.com.au had me cackling at my desk at lunch today and I thought that no-one should miss out on a bit of a laugh, so check these out. Some name combos just should never happen. And I thought mo-fo was quirky enough.
