Geek In Gear Review: Leatherman Squirt P4
Not a "new" item per se, but by far the most useful pocketknife I have ever owned. Weighing in at just shy of two ounces and a mere 2.5 inches in length the Leatherman Squirt P4 packs a tool box full of tools into such a small package, you won't even notice it in your pocket. On-board the Squirt you will find needlenose pliers, a straight knife, wire cutters, an extra small slotted screwdriver, a medium slotted screwdriver, a small flat phillips screwdriver, a single cut file, a cross cut file, a bottle opener, and an awl.
I have used this knife on a daily basis for over a year, and it has held up very well to the riggers of pocket life (including a few trips through the washing machine). The Squirt has replaced my full sized Leatherman as my primary utility knife, both at home and at work. I can without hesitation say that the Squirt P4 is the most useful knife I have ever owned. If you are looking for a great utility knife or just a small pocketknife, I recommend that you consider the Squirt P4.
The Squirt is also available with scissors (the Squirt S4) and both models are available on Amazon for about $30-$35 dollars.

30 Disposable Email Services
So you don't want to give out your primary email address, but you want to register with site X. The solution: disposable email addresses. Disposable email addresses allow you to complete the registration process with a site and then kill the email address once your registration is completed. Users over at Listible have compiled a list of 30 such services for your perusal. While each service operates in its own unique way (some forward email to your real address while others let you access the mail from a web based interface, some delete the account after 24 hours while others keep the address active until you delete it, etc.), I am sure that with a list of 30 services to choose from you will find a service that fits your specific needs.
