 This thing looks like about the right size for a camping trip.  ‘Cause you know how we geeks crave WiFi in our campgrounds.

We love our lappy, but we gotsa say that the battery life just isn’t what it should be. So while we’re sitting around waiting for those fuel cells to come along and solve all our power needs, we’re thinking of picking up one of these Freeplay Freecharge Weza generators to keep the juice flowing. Of course, physical effort flies in the face of everything we know and stand for, and the product page mentions that “modest dedication” is needed to get this all full up, but if you’re not afraid of a little pedal pushing to charge this thing, you’ve got a nice renewable energy source, or just a nice big battery if you decide to be a slacker and power it up with a wall jack.
