DO YOUR PART TO SUPPORT E-COMMERCE :-)

The Sharper Image is a fun store... here is some of the their best selling merchandise:
sharperimage.com

My favorite 'new' product:

The Inova Microlight $14.95
Search & Rescue uses them, so do police and tactical officers. These amazingly powerful compact flashlights are small enough to put on your key chain, yet powerful enough to illuminate an area of up to 30 feet and provide visibility for up to one mile. The Inova Microlight has a patented, solid-state lamp that lasts for 10,000 hours and is powered by lithium batteries (included). The lamp is shockproof, waterproof and virtually indestructible.

No, I don't own the stock. <gg>

Becoming Human

No matter how much scientific evidence we receive, it still boggles the mind to imagine that
human beings, with all of our technology and ability, evolved from an ancient species of apes.
BecomingHuman.org is the home for a new 'interactive documentary' that traces the multi-million
year process that brought us out of pre-historic trees and into modern skyscrapers.

Narrated by renowned paleontologist Donald Johansen, it traces the development of human activity
to its origins. It is broken down into several sections, Evidence, Anatomy, Lineages, and
Culture, and is as instructional and interesting as any PBS documentary.

The Awful Truth

For years Michael Moore has been a pain in the side of large corporations, government, and any
other institution that endangers the common citizen. He is the educated everyman, having
espoused the truth about politics and big business for years through books, films and his own
television series.

'The Awful Truth' is filled with sarcastic and poignant episodes that expose purveyors of
injustice in American Society for what they are, politicians, corporate types and cops. Those
who aren't familiar with his work are in for a wild ride, while those who are already fans can
enjoy his incisive humor and commentary.

Around the World in 80 Clicks

Computer programmer turned flight attendant, Boris Kester, has taken on a third endeavor;
documenting his travels around the world through his website TravelAdventures.org. Despite the
thousands of miles he has traveled, the hundred countries he has visited, and the countless
number of tourist attractions he has seen, Boris manages to report on these exotic places with
the innocent excitement of a first-time traveler.

He shares his journeys through photographs and personal stories, usually focusing on a piece of
art or architecture in each city. The site is self-funded, which empowers it with a quality of
sincerity that makes visiting it so special.
