The Reason Growing up is Cool

Do you remember when you were a kid and you realized that one day you wold have to grow-up, and when that time came, playing in a tree house wouldn't be fun anymore? OK, well I wasn't ever lucky enough to have a tree house, but the premise stands. Growing up means leaving the *fun* of childhood behind.

Well apparently not. Check out this Nerf "machine gun". It is an automated (battery powered) "cannon" that shoots up to three Nerf darts per second! It is apparently only available in the U.K. for a price few children will pay, so if you can get your hands on one, you will reign alone as the king of the hill.

I guess growing up only means leaving losing behind...

G-n-G Rebooted

Well lets give this a try again...Welcome to the "all new" Gadget and Gear blog, your home for everything you are going to absolutely need, even if you don't know it yet! To emphasize my dedication to all things gadget and gear related, I'm actually going to kick this off by sharing my "Favorite Piece of Gear" (non-technical category): my Leatherman Charge tti!

Although this little beauty weighs about seventeen pounds, there is almost nothing I can't do in my (incredibly demanding) life with it. At one point I found that one of the bits for the large...uh..."bit holder" (?) allowed me to assemble my daughters crib without having to find the proprietary "tool" that came with the crib. Pull this baby out when you are with a group of guys and two statements arise, "you must be the biggest geek I've ever met" and more importantly, "Man, I wish I had one of those...". They really do.

So what is your "Favorite Piece of Gear" (non-technical category)? The only limitation is that it cannot be  electronic in nature. Email me and I will post them!
