HEADPHONES KEEP SOUND IN, WATER OUT
$60 • H20audio.com
Swimmers tend to exercise in silence. But water enthusiasts who don't want to sacrifice their headsets have a new option. H20 Audio has created its fourth-generation waterproof headphones, called the Surge. The headsets can withstand up to 12 feet of water and come with five sets of sound-isolation earplugs to help ensure a more customized, watertight fit. The Surge's speakers have a new in-ear design that increases the bass of their third-generation counterpart. To help minimize dislodging, the cable was lengthened to 44 inches, so feel free to perfect that flip turn.
PROJECTOR FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
$500 • www.dell.com
Dell's new portable projector - the M109S On-the-Go pocket-size projector - weighs 0.8 pounds and can fit in one's palm. The M109S features 858 x 600 SVGA resolution, good enough to project a decent image and a mercury-free LED light source with a four-year life expectancy. It also comes with a three-in-one multi-input cable that combines the DC power input, VGA and composite connectors, which means fewer peripherals to pack. At $500, the M109S is compatible with both American and European television standards, and is HDTV capable.

Lights out at U energy conference. Irony police notified.
Just as Lawrence Kazmerski, a top official at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, was about to give the keynote address at the University of Minnesota's annual E3 conference at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, the lights went out, bathing the audience in darkness and a deep sense of irony.
