Monday Shopping Tip

ATTENTION: SCUBA DIVERS!  (and poor swimmers),

Just in time for your upcoming trip to the coral reef, here is the world’s only swim mask that has an integrated waterproof digital camera.

No longer do you have to unstrap the camera from your arm or your shoulder strap.  You just aim your head and snap.  The 5-megapixel camera will take both stills and video and operates at up to 15 ft. depths.  Maybe you’re one of those people who likes to lay on your back on the bottom of the pool and look at…. ummm…. other people.  Nobody will ever suspect a thing with your Digital Camera Swim Mask.

To learn more and to order your tech toy for only $99.95, click HERE.  (You’ll have to buy two AAA batteries to make it work.)

Sunday Shopping Tip

FOR SOME (MANY?) PEOPLE, THERE ARE TIMES when you need to do some work on the laptop computer, but the light is way too low.  Then you end up leaning over with your squinting eyes 3 inches above the keyboard.

LapWorks has the solution.  It’s the Nite Key Lite that will illuminate your keyboard in that darkened classroom or airline cabin.  It plugs into the USB connection and is made of a strong, yet flexible 18″ long cable that stays in the position that you set it.

There are two LED lights for plenty of illumination and the power draw is low, equal to about 90 seconds per hour of laptop battery life.  The bulbs have a life of 8,000 hours.

You can read more about it and order directly from LapWorks HERE.   The retail price is $14.95.

Sunday Shopping Tip

WITH MOTHER’S DAY RAPIDLY APPROACHING, it’s time to start thinking about getting Mom (or your wife) that perfect gift that she will embrace and always think of you whenever she uses it.

And nothing encompasses that better than:

LawnBott

The robotic lawnmower that cuts your grass automatically without fuss or muss.  She’ll love you for it!

lawn basic

The LawnBott is electrically powered by it’s rechargable battery and only uses $7 to $10 a year in electricity.  No longer will Mom have to stop by the gas station and fill up her gallon can of high-priced gasoline.  She’ll love you for it!

LawnBott mulches the grass as it cuts it, thus fertilizing the lawn at the same time.  Mom doesn’t have to go back out and spread those unfriendly fertilizers any more. She’ll love you for it!

lawn neighbor

The LawnBott is completely quiet so it won’t disturb your sleep or your neighbors.  Mom will be able to hear the tv just fine while LawnBott goes to work, following its programmed schedule.  She’ll love you for it!

lawn program

The LawnBott will come out of its docking station whenever you want it to, or you can set a certain scheduled time with the programmer, then it will cut the entire yard, up to 33,000 sq. ft. on a single charge, and then return to it’s docking station and replenish its batteries for the next assignment.

And one of the best features is the rain-guard.  LawnBott will continue to cut if a light drizzle starts falling, but if the rain picks up and becomes harder, then the ‘bot will stop mowing and scamper back to its docking station.  Mom won’t have to run out in the rain to put it away.  She’ll love you for it!

rain sensor

The most practical model to get is the LB3200 which includes the rain sensors and the lithium battery pack.  It retails for only $2,749.00.  Certainly not too much to spend for Mom or dear Wifey.  She’ll love you for it!

Travel Tips

WITH THE CURRENT FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE deflating the Dollar’s value, many people are wondering if they can afford a European vacation this year.

But if you know where to look, you can take advantage of many bargains including this economy hotel in Linz, Austria.  With clean, secure rooms in a park overlooking the Danube River and great amenities nearby, you can afford this hostelry because the rate is whatever you can afford.  You choose.  Most people leave between $15 and $30 for a night’s stay……in a concrete drainage pipe.
