Pick of the Week

 

We've all experienced anger while traveling. Well, Georgia Tech student Ian Campbell came up with a way to fight his road rage encountered while driving in Atlanta's traffic by inventing the RageGage, a small round smash pad that you can punch as hard as you want to release that pent-up anger. Customize with voices or even add your own. $19.99 at ragegage.com
