Sometimes nagging is the real secret to getting things done, by others, but if you’ve got a hectic household with family members coming and going at all hours, it’s touch to be an effective nagger. But that’s where the Jenda Lifetime Voice Calendar comes in. For just $39.99 from SkyMall you can pick up this handy assistant which attaches to your fridge and allows you to record voice memos of what needs to get done on any given day of the year.

Just hit the appropriate month button followed by the day, and record your message. After that, hitting the ‘Today’ button will provide a rundown of the day’s chores, events and reminders. There’s also a to-do list button for recording things like grocery lists, though I doubt you’ll want to be carrying this massive thing (10″ x 12″) around with you at the grocery store.

A new iPhone based payment system known as ‘Square’ is currently being alpha tested at the Self Edge store which recently opened in New York City. The payment system uses a custom app as well as a small credit card reader that fits in the headphone jack of an iPhone or iPod Touch. The card’s swipe data is transferred to the app where the payment is processed, complete with a digital signature confirmation. Besides keeping the whole process paperless thanks to email-friendly digital receipts, the Square system even allows someone like a hot dog vendor on the street to process credit card payments as long as they have a wireless data connection.
