Okay, the demonstration video is just plain goofy, and the product itself is sure to elicit snickers -- unless you're someone who could actually make use of it. Connect-A-Desk is a wearable harness that lets you use your notebook while standing or walking.

The Connect-A-Desk sells for a very reasonable $34.95. [via Wired]
