Magnets are the new wave for surgery and shark deflection, but what's happening in the everyday world of refrigerator magnets? Well, you could light up your kitchen with Vegas-style refrigerator lights, or you could do something far more practical, like replace that magnetic to-do list with RicaVision's MK140 FM Fridge Magnet/Scribbler.

The MK140 is a fridge magnet with at 3.5-inch LCD that connects wirelessly to your computer via Windows SlideShow to display wireless sticky notes. Potentially useful situation: If you forgot your briefcase at home, instead of e-mailing you, your husband could just jot a note on the fridge and it would show up on your computer. Or, um, he could just e-mail you. The Scribbler is merely a concept at the moment, but by the time it goes into production, I'm sure RicaVision will have found some way to make it an indispensable addition to the American kitchen. — S.E.
