After reading this article, you will think I work as a Marketing Manger for Google. It’s not that at all, it’s just that I love this all-encompassing website where you can find a street address, get a stock quote, get a dictionary definition, find an image, read Google in over125 languages (including Elmer Fudd, Hacker, Pig Latin, Bulgarian, Borkborkbork, and even English!), find today’s news as it’s happening, find a map and lots more!

 

Enjoy,
Clyde

Website Spotlight

 

Alpenschatz.com

 

http://www.alpenschatz.com/

http://www.swisscollars.com/

 

This is definitely one of the more ornate, elaborate, and just plain FUN sites we’ve designed. You get to learn about Switzerland and buy cool stuff for your dog (or very large cat). It has a full shopping cart where you can use the site to purchase many items using your credit card or an electronic check.

 

A bit about the company:

One of our greatest finds are Swiss handcrafted leather and brass and leather and alpine silver DOG COLLARS worn by the mountain breeds in this region. Additionally, get matching leather 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 EUROPEAN LEASHES, as well as ORNATE ALPINE BELTS to complement your family's personal wardrobe. We also carry traditional alpine decorated DOG HARNASSES, perfect for parade, show, or your next draft competition! And no Alpine Treasure would be complete without lavish TRADITIONAL COWBELLS, which make great decorations for your home, your dog's cart, or as prizes for dog shows and competitions.

Tech Stuff

 

Sony CLIÉ Handheld - 70 V - MP3, Camera, Keyboard, Swivel Screen

http://www.sonystyle.com/micros/clie/models/70V.html

 

This is definitely the coolest Palm OS handheld to date. It does almost everything (no wireless) you need in a little unit! Simply incredible!

 

MARGI - PowerPoint Presentations on your Handheld Computer

http://www.margi.com/

 

Do you give lots of presentations and hate lugging around a laptop for a 10-12 screen powerpoint presentation? Why not just plug one of these units into your Handspring Visor or Ipaq and give your slide presentation from your handheld computer? Sound impossible? Nope – it’s as easy as Margi. I’ve seen presentations done with this unit and it’s credible!
