OXO Knife
I love OXO soft grip products. I have done enough damage to my right hand so that it doesn’t close all the way without a lot of effort. Holding smaller instruments precisely is a real challenge. So when OXO came out with a series of soft grip knives I was a very early adopter.
OXO knives are relatively inexpensive, they hold an edge, you can run ‘em through the dishwasher and in my hands the grip is sure enough to do some real work. Our old Gerber knives with their wooden handles are slowly sifting their way to the bottom of the knife drawer and the OXOs see daily use.
Canon PowerShot SD800
The new Canon SD800 is an ergonomically comfortable 7.1-megapixel camera that has a long list of extra features, like Canon’s very cool face recognition and autofocus, plus highly functional image stabilization. It is worth the effort to read the manuals that come with this multi feature wonder. You can easily set up time exposures or change the sensitivity (ISO) so that you can capture fast action. The video output looks a bit YouTube-ish but there are some rudimentary video editing features built into the camera.
Wired magazine rates the Canon PowerShot SD800 at 8/10, which is a high rating for Wired.
Price: A little over $300.00 at Amazon
