Jul 02, 2009 Bing Photo Contest, gdgt, and Star Wars Force Trainer - GBTV #589

We heard about gdgt last year when Peter Rojas and Ryan Block announced it and have been looking forward to finding out exactly what it'll be. Now we know. It's a cross between social network, wikipedia and a database. You can create an account and associate yourself with gadgets you've owned and you currently own. You can rate those gadgets and you can edit specs if you see a mistake. You can follow me at user.gdgt.com/Cali and see an introductory video by Veronica Belmont here.

The Star Wars Force Trainer should be a big hit this Christmas season. It attaches to your head and when you start concentrating, it floats a ball.

bing is holding a photo contest. There will be a series of rounds, and on August 3rd, the winner will be seen on the homepage.

Instead of tying your kids to a leash, there's another option based on RFID. It's called the Kiddo Kidkeeper. The alarm will sound when your kid moves too far away.

Energizer has a Camera Battery USB Charging Clip that will charge your camera batteries via USB.

The promo code at Angie's List is GEEK. It will save you 25% on a membership.
