  For any iPhone or iPod user brimming with energy that might otherwise go wasted on aimless fidgeting, Swedish designer Peter Thuvander has devised the perfect way for you to marry your hyperactivity and your love for your Apple device: the iYo YOYO Induction Charger. While playing with the charger as you would an ordinary yo-yo, a small lithium-ion battery is charged inside, which in turn powers your device. The idea sounds great, and if it ever gets out of the concept stage we look forward to having our idle hands finally used as something other than the Devil's playthings. Check out a video of the device in rendered action after the break.

• What Suspension? -
• This Is What a Suspended Campaign Looks Like? -

  A Slog tipper with Republican connections sends over a link to images of Cindy McCain's fundraiser in Washington State yesterday—held well after John McCain announced he was "suspending" his campaign.

  

  The link arrived in my in-box at about the same time as this new memo from the Obama camp. It calls McCain's "suspension" a pure political stunt.

  Make no mistake: John McCain did not “suspend” his campaign. He just turned a national crisis into an occasion to promote his campaign. It’s become just another political stunt, aimed more at shoring up the Senator’s aimed more at shoring up the Senator’s political fortunes than the nation’s economy. And it does nothing to help advance this critical legislation to protect the American people during this time of economic crisis.

  The full memo, quite long and full of citations, is in the jump.
