Nothing says I love you quite like a box of piglet shaped licorice… Route 29 Napa
makes a variety of tasty licorice, but my favorite are the black and
red licorice pieces shaped like piglets. The bags are a better deal,
but the can (16 oz for $14) is a great gift. The Chewy Peps have a nice balance of texture and flavor and are also quite good.

A new online payment service is set to launch this summer, and from what I am hearing, GreenZap has some big plans for their debut. While many have soured over how Paypal has treated them,
there hasn’t really been an online payment service that has stepped up the the plate and become virtually universally accepted. This is what GreenZap
aims to change. They state that they are here to take on Paypal, and
lead the way for electronic payments. They will be accepted by eBay,
Yahoo! Auctions, and many other online entities. Signing up for
GreenZap is free, and if you sign up now, when you log in to your
account on their June 15, 2005 launch date - you will find $25
deposited for your use. Take that, Paypal.
Note: Type TrendyDNA into the Promo code area, when you preregister, to get the FREE $25!

Not happy with the options offered by standard ergonomic keyboards? Then how about just designing your own? That’s
the theory behind the Ergodex DX-1 Input System, which includes 25 keys (with additional keys available) that you can
position on a special tray and configure to perform any functions you want. The keys communicate wirelessly with a base
station under the transparent tray, allowing you to position them literally anywhere and still use them. The company
has mostly marketed the $150 system to gamers with itchy trigger fingers, though their software lets you define macros
to use it with any software. Touch typists, however, might have a little trouble getting used to the keys’ limited
tactile feedback. Still, it’s a creative solution to the need for truly customized keyboards.

This may well be one of the best bath plug’s ever! Alessi “Mr. Suicide” Floats reaching for air, tethered to the bottom of the tub.
