Ok, I know what your gonna say… “What the heck is so special about a freakin webcam?”

Well, let me tell ya - and btw this cam is not just for notebooks, it does desktops as well.

First off it is High Definition - yeah it does video at 926 X 720.

Second its got a 2 megapixel sensor and Carl Zeiss glass optics.

Low light ? aha, thats covered - hardware and sofware correction.

Ultra wide view angle and intelligent face tracking.

Kinda makes your webcam look like a Fisher Price model eh?

And to top it all off it’s only $99 bucks ….. See the manufacturers page for details

I’m off to get me one!

Whats special about this particular remote you ask? - This one uses radio frequency instead of infrared. Which means you can control devices through walls and floors etc - up to 100 feet away.

Perfect for many uses, if you have some speakers piped to another room, or maybe the kids tv is too loud? Don’t bother walking up there and yelling, just turn it down yourself. In my case I have an amp outside in the shed that drives my summer music but obviously I can’t use a regular remote to turn down the volume on really loud tracks.

It’s also a pretty spiffy remote for home theater rigs and good sound systems - check the specs.
It consolidates up to eight devices at one time including TV, VCR, DVD, Cable, Satellite, CD, Receiver or Amplifier, plus an Auxiliary device. With truly advanced features, like the commercial skip function and an LCD display with real-time clock.

And now for the best part - its $50.00 off at Amazon Grab one now for only $29.99

Thats an absolute steal. If it goes away, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

While summer may be halfway over - you can still motor yourself around the pool in total luxury.

This inflatable lounger allows you to maneuver around your pool without paddling because it has two individually joystick-controlled electric Kort nozzles

This fantastic projector creates an arced rainbow across a darkened room using multi-colored LED lights; simply wave your hand and it turns on, so it’s perfect on the bedside table of a night-shy child or accenting your next cocktail party. Auto-off timer. Requires 3 AA batteries or an AC adapter. ( neither of which are included )

Kind of a neat thing - though I think its probably more suited for a night light than a party - but hey, thats only my opinion.

Wow- Garmin has done it again. If you are into hiking, bike riding, running, heck even swimming as this bad boy is waterproof. This is the tool for you.

The 305 can display a dizzying array of data, such as calories burned, distance, elevation, grade, and heading, as well as multiple lap and pace modes. The 305 adds the ability to track heartrate, lap heartrate, average heartrate, and heartrate zones via the included coded heartrate chest strap. With the purchase of a separate wireless cadence and speed meter, you can also track bike performance data.

The Training Center software (PC Only) also lets you define courses on your PC that you can upload to the device. When course information is combined with uploaded workout information, the Forerunner becomes a complete guide, telling you where to go, when to make a turn, and what kind of workout to do when you’re on the road or path. Back on the PC, the software’s ability to overlay workout data on maps of the course makes it easy to see where the course offers up the tough hills and the easy recovery spots. Plus, the ability to track historical performance on a given course is a great way to measure your improvement.

Astounding! - and can you believe
Amazon has it 41% off for only $220.85!

This little gem is both convenient and can save you money. We all turn on the shower and wait for it to get hot. This device sits in between the shower head and the pipe. When you turn on the water for the shower - it measures the temp of the water and shuts off when the water is hot enough. Waiting for you to go ahead and get in. Think of it as a pause button for the water. Since it avoids letting the water run - you save water, and money on heating hot water thats just going down the drain.
