The Inclination SuperHighway (I want one of those!)

Looking for that perfect gift for the man in your life? (Are you reading this Melissa?...no, not seriously)

A colleague on the Ulead MUG Forum sent through a link for some pretty cool gadgets including an RC Battle Tank that fires real pellets up to 25metres and an uber-futuristic unit that projects a fully-functional, yet virtual, keyboard onto your desk. How fancy schmancy! (incidentally, the same site has lingerie made from those threaded candy bracelets, apparently...but I don't know where they are - I promise).

While I'm in the linking mood, have you checked out video.google? There are a huge number of weird and wonderful videos on there. There's definitely plenty of examples in both categories. The weird: an Eliza Dushku...umm...tribute music video which betrays a slighly unhealthy obsession, an over-the-top speech by a Microsoft senior executive, a treatise on the burgeoning romance between Ron Weasley and Hermoine Grainger etc), and the wonderful (the Asian Backstreet Boys show so much more passion and aplomb than the originals). But the supreme favourite in this household is "the Coolest Christmas lights you will ever see" - I can't remember how many times I've watched them. Check them out here (warning for dial-up friends: it's a 12MB file so it won't stream properly, but you can download it - which I recommend!)

Oh, and one final link (I need the practise), my Sister-In-Law has added a photo of Jessica to her major scrapbooking-themed blog: http://mutteringdeb.blogspot.com/
