Have you seen or used any interesting religious tech?
I've recently been fascinated with mantra or "Buddha" boxes... (Example: http://slumsofshaolin.blogspot.com/2007/04/buddha-box.html ) They're basically a speaker & short recorded chant run on batteries shoved in plastic. A fewer of the "high end" ones feature 3-5 different looped chants. Imported, they run $5-10 + shipping... The theory behind them is they either help you focus, or you can turn it on & leave for the day, while the "box" recites for you. A more modern version is the FM3 "Buddha Box" which has ambient loops instead of the usual chanting ( http://www.fm3buddhamachine.com/ ).
