10 Gadgets for Your Survival

I really liked last week's post from paulOv2 showing 10 Super Cool Gadgets for Designer. As I love cool and creative gadgets and I also like the ThinkGeek website, I decided to make a selection of 'survival gadgets' using their travel and outdoors section to show you. These gadgets are useful for designers, programmers, general geeks and regular curious people.

From a digital wifi detector to a solar light cap... you will see many interesting and creative gadgets here! Enjoy. :)
