| Hey, let's face it. Americans are consumers. We love to shop. If you're like me, every time you buy something you want to shop around to find the best deal. I hate going to the mall or driving all over town though and so I try to do most of my shopping from the internet. Here's where I start. Enter the product that you're looking for in the search box and hit enter. You'll find sources for great products from tons of different stores instantly. |

| Anyone who has visited my home knows that I'm a home automation nut. I use X-10 technology to control all sorts of things in my house. Motion sensors turn lights on automatically. I can control nearly every light in my house from the comfort of my couch using the same remote control that I use to control my TV and stereo. With the touch of one button I can instantly transform my living room into a movie theatre like setting, turning on and dimming all the right lights to create just the right mood. And when I turn in for the night I also press one button which turns off all the lights in the house except for a few that lead to the bedroom, which turn off automatically ten minutes later. It's also easy to set up a home security system using this technology. X10 uses your existing house wiring so it's easy to install and use. A PC can be used to easily set up advanced macro's but it's not necessary. X10 is a proven technology that's been in use for years. You can start with just one light or you can automate your whole house. This link will give you a $15 gift certificate at x10.com that you can use for anything that you want. |

| PopUpCop blocks unwanted popup windows without interfering with normal Web browsing. PopUpCop is designed to return control of your browsing experience back to you. It does not block all advertisements: it blocks irritating Web site behavior, which is often used for advertisements. PopUpCop is completely customizable. You can choose what techniques and technologies to block, from blocking nothing to turning off images, Java applets, ActiveX controls, JavaScript, and 15 other potentially annoying techniques. You may want to change what to block depending on where you are browsing. To make all this flexibility easy to control, PopUpCop features two unique control mechanisms: the Internet irritation indicator and the Internet irritation level slider. These two controls work together to provide information about the techniques that a web site is using and to make it easy for the user to block a collection of techniques. |

| If you're like me you have an inkjet printer at home. Inkjet printers do a great job printing and they're relatively inexpensive, but man are the cartridges expensive! A typical home user will spend much more on ink jet cartridges than they will on the actual printer. I've looked around trying to find an alternative and this is what I've found. MaxPatch Ink Supplies has ink jet cartridges for all of the major printers (Epson, HP, Apple, Cannon, Compaq, etc) plus other supplies that you need. And all of it is at a way, way lower price. Save yourself some money and buy your ink jet printer supplies from MaxPatch. |

| Before my wife and I were married and we were still doing the dating thing, I wanted to get here a unique gift that no one else had ever even thought of giving her. I looked high and low for something so different that she would remember me forever. I finally came across this service that would name an actual star after anyone that you choose. I went for it and it was a huge success! She was very impressed - it came with a certificate from the international star registry, a star map showing exactly where the star is located in the sky, and some instructions on how to find it. The star was given her maiden name since we weren't married then but I'm planning to get her another one (don't worry, she never reads the stuff I put on the web) with her married name on it for our 20th anniversary which is coming up soon. So, if you want to get someone a truly unique gift, have a star named after them. They will really love it. |

| Mmmm... Barbeque! I LOVE BBQ! My friends know that if they drop by on the weekend they're likely to find me with a beer in my hand and the barbeque fired up. There's nothing I enjoy more (well almost nothing) than barbequing a pork butt for 14 hours. Of course, out of necessity, I also do a lot of 10 minute burgers on the 'que as well. If you love barbequing or you know someone who does, then you should check out The Barbeque Store. You're sure to find something to please the bar-b-que fanatic there. |  Click here for your outdoor cooking needs.

| I've always been fascinated with robots.
MazeBots is a robotic simulation where you can design your own robot
and program it to go through mazes. Try out different ways to solve a maze
and watch the robot as it goes through. Sound easy? We'll see...... MazeBots has been used from middle school (to teach programming) all the way through college (to help teach AI (Artificial Intelligence)) This is a fun way to get into programming and robotics! |

| For prescription drugs, I recommend using your local pharmacy whenever you can. Nothing beats the value of a good relationship with a local pharmacist. However, there are a lot of people looking for ways to save money on their prescription drugs for various reasons and there are a lot of people that live in areas where a local pharmacist isn't available or is untrusted. If you're one of these people, click on the link to the right to go to an online pharmacy. |
