If you've already received a ticket for cruising around in California with one hand on the wheel and one hand holding your phone, I have a little something to make getting that ticket seem less depressing. Aliph, the maker of the uber-stylish Jawbone headsets (a personal fave and one of my June Must Haves), is offering you a discount when you buy one of their cool headsets!

Just enter in your citation number on the Aliph website to receive a nice $20 discount — that's the amount of the ticket itself! Well, on your first offense anyway. Here's hoping that you won't get caught "cell-handed" again!

Resembling something like the Versa Flexible Tripod for your camera, the Soaripod works as a 12-inch extension arm for your iPhone or iPod Touch (sadly, they don't fit the iPhone 3G just yet). Use this flexible holder to prop up your iPhone in places like planes, trains, and (you guessed it) automobiles! The vinyl-coated clamp can attach to thousands of surfaces so that you can check out movies and TV shows without having to worry about holding your player! The Soaripod is priced at $30.

Cruising at 34 mpg may not seem like the best gas mileage you can get these days, but then again, you probably aren't driving a Lotus. The high-end sports car manufacturer is unleashing its newest concept at the 2008 British Motor Show, satisfying the roadster and the eco geek in all of us with the Eco Elise.

Based on the super-swank Elise line, this baby goes from zero to 60 in 5.8 seconds and is totally green, inside and out. Interior materials include hemp, eco-wool, and sisal, and the exterior paint is water-based to not only use less energy (thanks to the paint's low-cure temperature) but cut emissions as well.

The touristy shops in San Francisco's Chinatown are teeming with gadgets, but it's usually overpriced cameras and items of questionable authenticity. But in one of my favorite fun crap stores, I found a variety of gadgets that will shock you — literally.

I knew the geek prank of late was shocking gadgets, but I had only seen the games, as evidenced by the Sugar office showdown! I didn't know there was a whole world of punkings to be had with hand-shocking gadgets, but in Chinatown, I found them.

Boss bugging you? Give him a USB stick with your latest "project" on it and watch his palm buzz. IT guy making fun of you again? Put this mouse on your pad and shut him up right away. Annoying little brother that keeps asking for an iPod? Give him this one!

Megan Fox showed up to a party Monday as a hero to geek girls everywhere; not only was she sporting a Star Wars t-shirt (the best of us are worshipers of "The Force") but she also had an iPhone!

At first glance, I thought she had a new, white 16GB iPhone 3G, but upon closer inspection, it appears to be a first-generation iPhone with a white case around it.

Whether you want to fool passersby into thinking you have a newer phone, or if my accessory options for the white phone just swayed you into loving the look, check out my suggestion for a case like Megan's when you read more

All this recession talk has me scrambling for cheaper laptop bags (the horror!), relishing gadget-price slashing, and finding more online resources to help me make smarter choices with my money. When I hunted down a personal finance site a while ago, I was surprised that I only really found Mint, which I loved.

Now WalletPop has jumped on the money organization bandwagon, and even though I love Mint, I say the more, the merrier.

WalletPop integrates financial calculators for a variety of things, and a sale aggregator as well. I might make it through this recession after all!
