Where the heck did I park my car? How did I get here and how do I get back? Which way to the bathroom again, Ozzy? Now all these questions can be answered with the push of a button on a simple compact device.

The WayBack device looks much like a compass, and actually sort of works like one, but if actually is a compact GPS tracking device. You set way points by clicking a button, and when you want to retrace your steps back to your original location, all you have to do is click another button. The on screen display will tell you which direction to head, with an accuracy of 22.5° per stationary location. (360° divided by 16 direction arrows = 22.5°). Hansel and Gretel could have had it much easier if they owned one of these.

Get one from First Street.

No, we’re not talking about the kind that’s grown. Do you ever have those super stressful days at the office that you just want to scream? How about a rousing argument with your spouse? Most people love to relieve stress by yelling, or expressing very vulgar things in loud menacing tones. Everyone knows that just leads to later embarrassment and painful apologies. Enter the Stress Pot.

The Stress Pot is a small decorative looking gadget which you can leave close by in the office, and when needed, scream your heart (or stress) out into the opening. The pot magically distorts and dramatically reduces the sound output so that co-workers and spouses can’t hear it. So if you want some street legal stress relief, try some Pot. The Stress Relieving Pot.

Webcams are webcams, but Sheep-Cams are a whole new thing. Okay, maybe not whole new, but they’re not too shabby. This USB based web camera is shaped like a sheep plushy, but has a small camera lens where it’s belly button ought to be.

As far as video quality goes, there is much to be desired. But hey, I’m not complaining, I could have a sheep-cam! Practical uses are limited, but could include:

• A simple web cam
• A not so simple sheep plushy
• Put the two together and you can probably think of a 100 unethical uses…

Let’s face it: the internal “speaker” on the iPhone isn’t much of a speaker at all, more like a distant vibration that emulates sound… Griffin however produced a “sort-of dock” for the iPhone classic and 3G that amplifies the sound coming from the iPod. The best part: it requires no batteries to run. Much like the technology you see in high end Bose systems, the AirCurve uses wave guide technology to amplify the sound from the internal speaker of the iPhone by 10 decibels. This acoustic amplifier doesn’t warp the sound in any way, just amplifies it. It’s also a very stylish and clear, which adds to the wow factor you get when opnening the packaging. The dock doesn’t function as a dock itself, but has a pass-through for your sync cable so you can listen while you sync or charge.

I personally have been playing with mine for a few weeks now, and it does definitely amplify the tones coming out of the iPhone. It doesn’t exactly make it sound a whole lot better, but it at least does a tiny bit, and the best part of it is the fact that it doesn’t require any external power, and definitely doesn’t draw anything from the iPhone. It’s quite useful for when I’m showing something to people, just slap this baby in my laptop bag and when I have an audience, whip it out. It does make a difference, and for its convenience it was definitely worth the $17.99 I paid for it.

How many times have you tried to keep a beverage in the freezer for the exact right amount of time so that you have the perfect slush-textured frozen drink? Well the Perfect Slushee Mug gives you a slushee made from virtually anything such as Mountain Dew, Orange Soda, or even delicious Root Beer with ice cream .

The mug consists of two parts, the outer mug shell, and the inner Glaciercore. The glaciercore is sealed shut with a 100% non-toxic refrigerant that enables your drink to stay that perfect slushee texture for two hours or more! Unfortunately you can only turn naturally sweetened beverages into slushee, as artificially sweetened beverages aren’t compatible, such as diet sodas. Also, the mug, from room temperature, takes a slow 6 hours to fully freeze, but it only takes a few minutes to turn a room temperature drink into a delicious frozen treat. If you are worried that the mug takes too long to freeze then buy two! Or once your drink is prepared, transfer it into another container and throw the mug back into the freezer to prepare it for the next one! Get yours from Vat19 for $9.95 in Blue or Red.

St. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and as a result many guys and gals are struggeling to get their better half a V-Day gift. Well, Gadget Hoard is here to help the geek lovers out there get something that will surely knock their socks off (or maybe a more interesting piece of the wardrobe? ) So sit tight and listen up for Geek’s V-Day 101:

Gadget4All is always finding new and exciting things to sell. So of course they’ve come up with a few love-themed items for their catalog and up first is the USB Plasma Heart. One of the few USB devices in this compilation, the USB Plasma heart will set itself apart from any other gadget on his/her desk. Much like the USB plasma ball, the USB Plasma heart uses the low power current from USB and converts it to very high voltage which creates the lightning like bolts within the heart shaped plastic dome. Don’t have an available powered USB port or would like to use it without a computer? Not a problem! Just pick up an Eforcity USB Travel Adapter ($0.49) and plug it in anywhere! You can get the USB Plasma Heart at Gadget4All for $17.

More ideas after the jump!

Now, I’m not sure who really needs support for 80 different storage mediums, but if you are, here’s your solution. iMONO’s 80-in-1 card reader not only supports like… every memory card known to man, but also has the ability to connect 3 other USB devices. Heck, if you wanted, you could buy a whole slue of these things and daisey chain them for a ridiculous amount of memory cards. It wouldn’t be all that expensive either since they’re cheap as dirt.

We’ve seen touch screen remotes, and we’ve seen remote watches. It’s about time we see a touch screen remote watch! For some reason I always get a kick out of “mysteriously” changing people’s channels or randomly switching on the television. The watch can be programmed to a few different brands of TV’s at a time, and supports a wide variety of brands overall.

This stylish little USB Hub will surely spice up your desk. Another quirky gadget from gadget4all.com provides you with a figure in the shape of a man carrying a briefcase (which spins 180 degrees). One of his arms, his swiveling briefcase, his foot, and the front of the base all have USB ports, with the PC connection in the back of the base. Pick up this little guy for $10 at G4A.
