This might actually be worth checking out!
I’ve added a widget on the page from BeFrugal that searches Amazon.com for extremely discounted stuff. Check in the sidebar, or click here.
You can select up to 90% discounted items, in any category. In addition, you can leave the search keyword blank and get a nice list of all the discounted items on Amazon. Here’s a pre-selected search for 90% off in electronics (our favorite category!)
Very sweet. Thanks BeFrugal!

Brother vibration recharged battery
Vibration charged batteries… seems backward to me.
I just had to pass this along — a vibration recharged battery. Finally, I can pull my old walkman cassette player out of the garage and… uhm. I mean my MP3 player… no, wait… Remote control? Yeah! My remote control.
And no, you can’t ask “Exactly what are you doing with the remote control that recharges it so rapidly?”
Sheesh. Get your mind out of the gutter, sick-o.

Want a desk that allows you to sit OR stand? Check out the Biomorph Interactive Desk, and enjoy the “circle of power” ergonomic layout.
Biomorph offers a ton of options and desk styles, so be sure to check out their gallery.

I’m still a big fan of the manufacturer Anthro; check out their Fit Adjusta desk — with the ability to add their modular components, you can have a nice swing-arm monitor solution (adjustable for height and viewing angle) as well as being able to adjust desk tilt for either the back or front independently. Oh, and you can always go with their cool casters, or feet for added stability.

Hey folks, Amazon.com has some seriously great instant rebates
on select Logitech devices!
If you’re in the market for a new wireless keyboard, webcam, or sound system, be sure to check out these deals.
I find the Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard
particularly interesting, with the new-fangled TouchDisc (just like on the DiNovo Mini) and kick-ass recharging station/keyboard stand.

I know it’s been a while since my last post (*blush*) so I’m going to throw you a new gadget — The DiNovo Mini; A miniature keyboard, complete with a track pad and bluetooth goodness. All in a multi-tone smoke translucent, shiny black, and silver plastic case! Yum!
So, folks — tired of having to use a mouse and wireless keyboard for your media pc? even the smallest keyboards are cumbersome and awkward. If you’re trying to use a mouse, good luck finding a flat surface… maybe that coffee table makes a good desk for you, but it hurts my back! The DiNovo Mini is a tiny keyboard that fits easily in your hands, includes the full complement of media keys, a track pad (with a touch of a switch becomes a cursor pad!) and best of all? It lights up! Beautiful!
