fire-stick-prong I am sure the camping purists out there will eschew camping with fancy gizmos like the “Grandpa’s Firefork” or “Recreational Vehicles” with “Air Conditioning”  But for the family camper, the firefork could really help the experience for the wee ones.

Slide off the protective cover to reveal two prongs and put the gizmo on the end of little Johnny’s lichen covered stick.  Tension between the two top rings hold the contraption in place.  Put a hot dog or marshmallows on the prongs and we are ready.

Now little Johnny can roast to his hearts content without dropping 3 hot dogs into the fire. About $15 for a 4-pack.

dymo_disc_painterLike the old saying goes “You can get things done good, fast, and cheap.  Choose two.”  Dymo has chosen good and fast.  The Dymo Disc Painter is going to set you back around $240.  Replacement ink cartridges are about $35. According to reports from reviewers, each cartridge lasts from 40-200+ discs depending on use.

To help justify this premium price tag, you do get a cool view of your disk being printed.  Apparently the printhead is static while the CD spins the printer prints that section of the circle.  The disc is slid…. aww, just watch the movie: Here is a promo video, to show how cool it looks when its doing its thing.

So, if you are willing to switch over to Inkjet compatible media, and you want your CD and DVDs to have beautiful professional looking labels, this is the gizmo for you.
