Slingcatcher
I think this is my dream gadget of the year (and we're only 13 days in)
It's currently less than $170 at Amazon and is so very worth that price to me! It works with software from Sling that you can install on any Windows computer. It takes video from any program (or rectangular region of the screen) on that computer and shoots it across your home network to a box near your TV. So, for example, you can play YouTube or Hulu videos on your PC and watch them on your old television set (and, I swear, in many cases the quality of the video seems to actually improve along the way).

We Need More Power!
I admit it: I'm a sucker for clever powerstrip design. This is the UFO. Second, in my mind, only to the glorious PowerSquid.
