My co-workers probably think I am crazy for commuting two hours to work. Yep—two LONG hours along the Hudson River into Grand Central Station. Of course, most of the time I sleep while on the train; the other times when I can manage to stay awake, I play Sudoku—Japan's popular logic puzzle. It's amazing how fast it made its way into the States. Everyday I see someone on the train scribbling away at the puzzle in newspapers or magazines.

My TV Guide and home town newspaper publishes Sudoku puzzles. Traditional Sudoku puzzles use numbers; however TV Guide uses letters (and even gives you a hint, which is always nice). But, these publications only include one puzzle, and that's not enough for my long commute. So what's my alternative? To invest in the Sudoku Electronic Handheld Game.

That's my gift idea on today's homepage of PCMag.com. In fact, one of my colleagues just e-mailed me saying that he ordered the handheld game for his wife of 17 years (how sweet!).

Sudoku Electronics' handheld device uses touch screen technology and includes over 100,000 Sudoku puzzles with both beginner and advanced levels. (But I need to work my way up to the advanced levels—I'm still an amateur.)

It's available at Sudoku Electronics for $24.95.
