Pedal powered laptop charger

For those of your obsessed with multi-tasking, here's a clever gadget that lets you use your laptop while you're working out. But the best thing about this cycling machine isn't that it saves time, but rather that it saves the planet -- simply by using the energy generated by your pedaling to power your computer.

Developed by MIT students, this invention seems so straightforward -- so obvious, in fact -- that it's almost shocking no one had thought of it before. Needless to say, I want one -- especially as I type this, sitting on my couch, glancing down at my ever-expanding waistline.

Reduce my energy usage while reducing my gut and my work load? Genius!
