Apparently, celebrity blogging can be a dangerous business. Just ask George Johnson, a blogger and newspaper editor in Santa Fe. When he discovered that Tom Ford was building a mansion across the street, he did what any good neighbor would do -- put up a webcam. Then last Monday, while he and his wife were asleep in their bedroom, expert cat burglars broke into the office where Johnson was filming and made off with his Mac Pro, 2 monitors, hard drive, and of course -- the Tom Ford webcam.

Now, we're not trying to say that the webcam espionage had anything to do with the burglary, we're just pointing out that a coincidence occurred when a blogger was spying on a international celebrity. We don't really understand why the guy wanted to video tape the construction anyway. We've seen homes being built, it's a mind-numbing. Maybe he was hoping to catch a couple pics of Ford inspecting the building progress. Sinister.

Stylists tend to be chatty people, so before you know it, you're talking about the latest celebrity gossip, your love life, or the black market business you've established selling illegal firearms to South American rebel groups.

But while it might seem OK to share this potentially incriminating information with the man or woman shaping your finely-groomed coiffure, be careful. This new blow dryer/spy camera makes it easy for your stylist to record your tales of nefarious activity, and report to the authorities.

The seemingly innocuous little gadget comes complete with a 3.7mm wide angle lens, a 2.4 GHz receiver, and even a x-ray vision that lets you beam images up to 1500 ft -- making it easy to document your every transgression.

However, it should be fairly easy to tell if the person cutting your hair has a side gig with the CIA -- namely, because they'll be using a hair dryer that doesn't actually dry your hair. That, despite appearances, is the one thing this super-duper spy cam isn't capable of.
