The 10 different voice changing options are as follows: 1) Low pitch; 2) High pitch; 3) Very low pitch; 4) Very high pitch; 5) Robotic; 6) Low pitch robotic; 7) Very high pitched robotic; 8) Amplified high pitch; 9) Amplified original voice; 10) High pitch robotic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a title="Gadgets" target="_blank" href="http://technorati/tag/gadget" rel="tag"&gt;gadget&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a title="technology" target="_blank" href="http://technorati.com/tag/technology" rel="tag"&gt;technology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28439015-114830385805996327?l=groovy-gifts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://groovy-gifts.blogspot.com/feeds/114830385805996327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28439015&amp;postID=114830385805996327' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28439015/posts/default/114830385805996327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28439015/posts/default/114830385805996327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://groovy-gifts.blogspot.com/2006/05/10-voice-effects-changer.html' title='10 Voice Effects Changer'/><author><name>Miranda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11331210097992315092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28439015.post-114830153822719673</id><published>2006-05-22T12:28:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-05-22T12:59:49.536Z</updated><title type='text'>4 Battery Solar Powered Charger</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6315/3013/1600/solarpowerbatterycharger_small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6315/3013/200/solarpowerbatterycharger_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Groovy gadget or wishful thinking?

On a good sunny day, 4 x AA 2000mAh NiMh batteries can be charged in as little as 6 hours. The batteries are charged within the case, which features a fold out stand for directing the solar panel towards the sun. The solar charger measures 165mm (W) x 130mm (H) x 55mm (D), and the carry handle extrudes a further 43mm to the height of the unit. The charger is supplied complete with a 5-way spider for powering small electrical goods such as personal stereos, toys or torches. The built-in blocking diode prevents reverse charging. Please note that the charging circuit is designed to charge 4 rechargeable batteries in an in-series circuit system (4.8V). Only 4 batteries of the same size and brand can be charged at any one time. Recharging times will depend on the strength of the sunlight, the level to which the batteries are discharged as well as the battery capacity. The higher the capacity of the batteries to be charged, the longer the charge time required will be. Do not attempt to mix different sizes or brands of batteries. Do not attempt to recharge alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries. Batteries are not included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: &lt;a title="gadget" target="_blank" href="http://technorati.com/tag/gadget/" rel="tag"&gt;gadget&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a title="solar power" target="_blank" href="http://technorati.com/tag/solar%20power/" rel="tag"&gt;solar power&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28439015-114830153822719673?l=groovy-gifts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://groovy-gifts.blogspot.com/feeds/114830153822719673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28439015&amp;postID=114830153822719673' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28439015/posts/default/114830153822719673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28439015/posts/default/114830153822719673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://groovy-gifts.blogspot.com/2006/05/4-battery-solar-powered-charger.html' title='4 Battery Solar Powered Charger'/><author><name>Miranda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11331210097992315092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
