Morse Code enthusiasts:

Care for a brand-new type of "Hand Key"? George K5TR sent this neat video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8XJHXzchBg of a keyless way of sending CW. A commercial version is also available from http://www.qrp4fun.de/en/s7c.htm . Now - add one more ring and make it a paddle. Use Zigbee as a wireless link to the keyer itself. No wires. No more chasing the paddle around the desk. No more moving your hands off the keyboard during a fast run.
