I didn’t watch the Video Game Awards on Spike last night, mostly because I wasn’t finished drawing the rainbow unicorns and spraying cologne on my letter to DeAngelo Williams. In hindsight, I probably should have watched it, because apparently Megan Fox and Marisa Miller showed up. In my defense, I didn’t think two of the hottest women in the world would be interested in some dude winning a year’s supply of Red Bull and Hot Pockets just because he got the high score in Halo.

IcyBreeze Cooler and Air Conditioner
The IcyBreeze is one of my favorite new products — one of those items that seem such a natural concept that you wonder why someone hasn't thought of it before.
The IcyBreeze is essentially a portable air conditioner built into a cooler. You can use it to cool your drinks or your body off its rechargeable battery.

Narrative Clip
There might not be a smaller, lighter device to record all of your travel and vacation adventures than the Narrative Clip. It clips onto your clothes and its 5 megapixel camera takes a still picture every two seconds.

The air in any hotel room has been breathed, re-breathed, cooled and heated countless times. The Satechi USB Portable Air Purifier plugs into any USB connector and uses a fan to create a clean and cool personal breathing space. It's small enough to fit into a laptop bag, backpack or suitcase.

If you're traveling with kids in the backseat, you can keep them entertained with the Felix Roadshow – a bracket for your tablet that transforms the back of any front seat headrest into a theater. In short, it's a quick, easy ticket away from "I'm bored! Are we there yet?"
