Check it out, download some free "stuff" and have some fun!  ¶ 1:47 PM

  WD-40 - the things your daddy never told you...

Three of the most important inventions of the last century:

Duct-tape
Super Glue
WD-40

Is there any doubt about it? Most of us could probably easily develop a list of at least three or four good uses for WD-40. But what about 2000 uses? Ok, some of the uses may seem a little farfetched or redundant BUT all in all, if you click here - you will be impressed with the list anyway.  ¶ 8:04 PM

  I'm baaaaaaack:

I just took a "little" trip (about 3,000 miles to be exact) and my Internet access was pretty limited so I've not posted anything new in a while. I should be back to my two or three postings a week routine shortly.

Here is something of interest. Don't know if you know this already, but Google now offers a mapping service (it's free) and it works great. Just hop on over to maps.google.com and check it out.

I've also just come across a "Wired" magazine article about the service that will help get you "up to snuff" on the service. Click here to access the column.  ¶ 9:12 AM

  Following the Money Trail:

There seems to be new hobby of late, and it is growing quickly in popularity. The hobby is that of tracking the location of currency, currency that was once located in one's hand, pocket, or purse. There are now two Web sites dedicated to such a pursuit:

www.MyDollarBill.com and www.wheresgeorge.com

Hmmm, I'm wondering when we will start seeing Web site links on currency, a unique form of promoting a Web site maybe?  ¶ 9:10 AM

  Let the Web speak!

If you'd be interested in having a computer generated voice read out loud to you, the results of your searches through Google, just hop on over to Speegle. I'm not exactly sure why I would need this type of service, but I can certainly see the potential for visually impaired folks. You should check out the site anyway.  ¶ 1:40 PM

  Google News Web Site Enhancement:

If you aren't a fan yet of the Google News Web site, you will be. The folks at Google have just added the ability to customize the news page to the viewer's liking. If you access the news site from the same computer on a regular basis, you'll not have to reconfigure the arrangement of news categories and such. There is even an option to add sections based on keywords that you enter - for example, I typed in "Internet" and now whenever a new story breaks that concerns the Internet, it will be posted in my customized category on my very own personalized page.

Now, isn't that special?  ¶ 8:30 PM
