Best of the Rest (4/08/2009)

by Thomas Houston on April 8, 2009 at 06:30 PM

There's a ton of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover all of it. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web:
  • The Speedy Elektra add-on (pictured right) brings motorized power to any wheelchair. [OhGizmo]
  • Dot matrix printers, the bane of office workers in the '80s and early '90s, are somehow still available for purchase. Forget how terrifying they sound? Check out YouTube. [BoingBoing gadgets]
  • If you've been keeping up with our Best of the Rest roundups, you'll probably know we're big fans of insane USB gadgets. DVICE put together a sprawling list that covers everything from air-conditioned shirts and ties to body massagers (USB-powered, of course). [DVICE]
  • Setting up a home office, following a painful round of layoffs? As important as it is to be thrifty these days, there are a few things not worth skimping on. Number one on our list? A quality chair. [geeksugar]
