Virtual Cable
Through the use of already available, mass-produced, materials and parts New Jersey company Making Virtual Solid can produce a navigational 3D overlay displayed on a car’s windshield.

Goodreads.com
Goodreads allows users to review and rate books they’ve read, as well as catalogue and tag their own collection. It combines this with social networking features – friends and groups particularly – which allow users to interact, compare and recommend books. I’ve been using it quite a bit recently, just to begin cataloguing my book collection (which can be found here).
