What Wired staffers bought this month
They may not have the music-snob cred of an out-of-print single, but for about a buck each, my Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-Rs hold 10 times the music while looking and feeling just like old 45s. Argue all you want about sonic warmth - you weren't really going to take that near-mint copy of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love" out of its sleeve anyway, were you? - Alison Willmore
Verbatim Digital Vinyl CD-Rs: $10.60 for 10, www.verbatim.com.
With my Craftsman Reciprocating Saw, I can cut down trees, slice up fence posts, and rip through metal pipes. An array of blades make this toolfit for everything from removing stumps tocustomizing the fender of a 1958 Plymouth. And it doesn't buck like a chainsaw, so it's safe for pros and wannabes alike. - Blaise Zerega
Craftsman Reciprocating Saw: $90, www.sears.com.
Her name is Audrey. She faithfully reminds me of my appointments and hands me phone numbers. She also lets me jot down notes and check email. Alas, Audrey's been discontinued by 3Com, but you can easily find one on eBay and other sites. A little hacking and your Audrey will become an MP3-playing, X10-controlling, digipic-framing grrrl Friday. - Marie Nedich
3Com Ergo Audrey: $99, www.audreyhacking.com.
