PHOSPHOR makes a pretty nice looking watch here as part of the E-Ink Digital Hour Clock watch series. The watches start at $175 and go up and feature the paper-like e-ink display technology that allows you to switch from white-on-black to black-on-white instantly.

Just got word of this free app called Dock Spaces that allows you to set different docks in OS X and switch between them with a simple click or hotkey. I find it useful when making and publishing screenshots, although I’m sure you can probably find other uses for this app.

Remote Light Switch by Tobias Wong

This item may look like any other old light switch, but under its Lucite case is the means for you to remotely turn off almost any light that plugs into an outlet! You see, this Remote Light Switch from Tobias Wong is a very awesome contraption. It comes with a remote receiver that you plug into the end of an outlet and with the flick of a switch, you can turn off that light (or appliance) as long as it stands 100 feet from the switch!

I can imagine scenarios where this switch would come in handy, such as the situation I find myself in EVERY NIGHT when I’m already too tired to get out of bed to turn off my light. I could simply have this remote kill switch next to my bed and use it as a secondary switch for when I’m feeling extra lazy.

Unfortunately, this remote light switch costs $150 and $250 for a gold limited edition version. It would be convenient if I owned this, but $150 is a lot to pay (even if it is only once) for maybe 6 less steps every night. This one will have to go in my “if I had all the money to spend in the world” file.

Toggle this light switch on and off. And if you feel so inclined, you can help the author of that page pay for his light bill by donating money via PayPal. [via]
