Ah yes.. even in Southern California, it’s starting to feel a bit like… winter. OK.. let’s get real now – it never really gets THAT cold here in SoCal.. but the majority of folks in the Northern Hemisphere are starting to witness dropping temperatures. So what do you do on those cold nights? You get yourself a Thanko HiPad/HotPad of course! This heating pad can be wrapped around your waist or shoulder and provide hours of warmth to your body. Best part of it? It’s completely powered by a USB connection to your PC (or of course you could always connect it to say your Xbox 360). Ahh.. leave it to the Japanese to come up with nifty new ways to utilize that USB port of yours.
