The 2012 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Night Rod Special ($15,299) displays the darker side of the V-Rod, and is, in our opinion, an even more desirable iteration. Now with a more slender tail section, inverted fork and lighter black with orange trim aluminum wheels, the Night Rod has undergone a fair share of modifications while retaining the mystique that made it famous. Still powered by 122 horses, the Night Rod Special is just as much go as it is show, and the color scheme certainly gets our approval.

Voomote One has the ability to create custom layouts that can easily be switched based on the devices in a particular room. So you can setup a living room profile to control your big screen and cable box, and a separate bed room one for your more modest set and a stereo. You can also create command macros that fire up multiple devices with the tap of a single virtual button. The Voomote app is available for free in the app store, but the actual IR-blasting sleeve will set you back $99.

If you're into time-lapse photography and/or panoramas--or want to get started with them--and you have a camera with an intervalometer, Camarush's clever and inexpensive Camalapse mount sounds like a useful accessory to throw in your bag. Based on the same mechanical timer technology as a conventional egg timer, the Camalapse rotates up to a maximum of 360 degrees in one hour. You attach a small (less than 1 pound) camera or camcorder to its tripod mount, and optionally attach the Camalapse to a tripod, wind it up, and you're off and autorotating. You can also stack two units to achieve faster rotation rates.
You can buy the Camalapse direct from Camarush. $24.99
