We know, there's hardly a better way to spend a weekend than by playing a sophisticated game of hide-and-seek, and Garmin's right there with us. If you, like it, are stuck in Kansas with nary a Jayhawk game in sight, this here pebble is the answer to all of your boredom woes. The Chirp is a wireless beacon that's designed to work with any compatible wireless-enabled Garmin handheld (the Oregon, Dakota and the recently announced GPSMAP handhelds are mentioned by name), and once you've set it up to cooperate with your device, it'll automatically transmit program coordinates so other cachers can find each stage of your multicache -- it's touch-and-go in its simplest form. The whole thing measures just 1.3- x 0.9-inches, weighs under an ounce and can be had for just $22.99. So yeah, good luck sticking to Segway polo with an offer like that.

Update: Video after the break!

Rite In The Rain makes tough waterproof notebooks and paper that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and bindings.  Their products are perfect for the outdoor enthusiast or urbanite who wants to sketch, write, or journal no matter where they are or whatever the weather.  As soon as I saw these I knew I had to have one, so I ordered model 964 (shown above) which measures 6″x3.5″ and has 112 pages (56 sheets).  The notebook is bound with a “Field-Flex” cover, which is basically rip-proof, and each page is laid out with a “Universal” pattern (standard lines with a faint grid).  This particular notebook also features useful conversion information on the inside front cover, and even has several different rulers printed on the inside and back covers.  As long as you use their products with a waterproof ink pen or pencil, your written musings should last a very long time.  Rite In The Rain has numerous color, size, page-layout, and binding options so check them out.
