Ode to Love: The Kindle 3G

Kindle Wireless Reading Device – 3G is not just for “techies.”  Case-in-point…one of our colleagues at It’s Good Stuff has achieved a “certain age” and swore that he was not going to succumb to the siren song of the internet, cyberspace, wireless devices, and all that is high tech. After his wife acquired one of the first generation Kindle, he quickly changed his tune.  A voracious reader, he coveted her Kindle as she downloaded book after book and enjoyed all of the benefits of the wireless reader right before his green-with-envy eyes. Needless to say, the Kindle topped his Christmas list that year!  So passionate is he about “Kindle-ing”, that he pre-ordered the latest Kindle 3G so it would be delivered on its release date. (By the way, his grandson “inherited” his original Kindle.)  Our Kindle King took pen in hand to express his obsession with this marvel of technology. He has allowed us to share the following “poem” (forgive us Elizabeth Barrett Browning):

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways.
I love my Kindle to the depth and breadth and height
My arms can reach.
I love thee for reading in the light so bright…
All new high-contrast E-Ink screen creates no glare.
I love thee freely and read you everywhere.
I love thee purely for your month-long battery charge,
Your download in 60 seconds, and your screen…that is large.
I love thee with a passion for your books that are free.
Your catalogue of over 510,000 editions for $9.99 or less inspires me!
I love thee with a love I thought lost…
In my old grief, I had uttered, “No technology at any cost!”
Ah! I love thee, Oh Kindle, with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life.
I think I love thee more than my wife.


In spite of Ms. Browning rolling over in her Victorian grave, we feel confident she too would appreciate our tribute by the King of Kindle!

 

Wireless and Wonderful!

Send all the sound right into your ears with the Sennheiser Wireless Headphones. Or better yet, send all the sound right to “their” ears…when that sound is obnoxious and loud and not what you are in the mood to listen to! These are simply the best wireless headphones for music, movies, and television. The open-ear headphones are supra-aural and provide detailed, warm sound reproduction with a strong bass response. No more disagreements about the volume - you can listen wherever you are around the house since the headphones have a 120 ft. range and can be heard by the wearer through walls, doors, and even outside.

The sound is detailed and has a strong bass response. Power comes from NiMH batteries that are recharged by simply putting the headphones on their transmitter base which can be easily mounted to a wall. The entire system weighs just 8.1 ounces, and it comes with a two-year warranty. Compact and sleek, you will be impressed by the lack of interference and the amazing sound quality for such a low price. And, they are plenty sturdy while being really lightweight - we found that we could wear them for hours inside or outside because they are so comfortable! The headphones come with three connection adapters, so they'll work with just about any TV, radio, stereo, DVD or game system. The base unit is small, unobtrusive and leaves a small enough footprint that you can find a spot for it just about anywhere.

Whether you are looking for sensational sound in your own ears…or you want peace and quiet, these headphones are just the ticket.

 

Keep Your Dog Safe with PupLight

buy puplightOnce in a blue moon a product comes along that evokes the reaction, “Oh, yeah, I get it!” Such is the case with PupLight. It is a simple concept and a must-have for pet owners who value their pooch.

PupLight is a dog collar that contains three ultra-bright LEDs that make it possible for your dog to be illuminated up to 200 feet in front and 70 feet to the side. In terms of cars whizzing by in the night, think of it this way: your dog will be visible for three blocks to oncoming vehicles, 1 ½ blocks to autos approaching from behind.

Pet lovers are always concerned about their dog’s health and well-being, and, obviously, this product can be an absolute life-saver. When introduced at a pet product trade convention, PupLight was named one of 12 “Top Dogs” out of 600 new pet products.

It’s easy to understand why PupLight was also chosen National Dog Safety Product by the National Dog Day Foundation. This lighted dog collar is ideal for walking your pet at night, gives both of you a sense of security, and helps dogs with poor vision see better.

So go ahead - get Rover a PupLight and get peace of mind!

 

Make Your Cap Go Extra Innings!

We love our baseball here at It’s Good Stuff.  We don’t care if it is T-Ball, high school, college, minor or major league…we just never tire of watching America’s pastime. The crack of the bat (wood or aluminum, we aren’t fussy), the peanuts, the roar of the crowd, the “pick-off”, the “steal”, the “closer”, the “squeeze play”, the “sweaty ball cap”…eeewwww! Well, we could do without the sweaty ball cap. Baseball superstition and fear of “shape loss” have kept many a cap dusty, stinky, and sweaty for years! We don’t want to mess with baseball superstition, but we can tell you how to take care of the whole “shape loss” issue. 

The Buddy Ball Cap Washer is a guaranteed homerun in that department. You can clean your ballplayers’ caps in the dishwasher (No, not with the dishes!) or in the washing machine…set it out to dry and return it to its owner in just the shape you received it…minus the dirt, sweat, and grime. Our scouting advice is to use the top shelf of the dishwasher for best results; using the washing machine can be a little risky depending on how vigorous the agitation.  And, our scouts also recommend air-drying…not in the dryer. Leave the cap in the Buddy Ball Cap Washer frame and hang it on a line by a clothespin for perfect results. Follow these tips and everybody is happy.  The cap is ready for the next 9 innings…or with any luck at all, we’ll go into extra innings!

 

The Remote Control That Spans Generations

buy flipper remoteAlmost worse than not being able to find the remote is not being able to use the darn thing when it’s right there in your hand! This happens quite often in multi-generational or elderly households, and until now, there really was no happy solution. Thank goodness for the Flipper Remote – and bless the guy who invented it for his own father who struggles with Alzheimer’s!

Using the Flipper Remote is trouble-free and easy, easy, easy! The only hard part is the extreme difficulty to mess it up. You know all those seldom used little buttons that are so handy to push by mistake? They are hidden and locked away in the Flipper’s concealed trap door. Really, it’s just a slide-open/snap-shut case in the middle of the unit, but it’s at least as effective as a hidden trap door. Just program up to 30 favorite channels for one-touch control, and the only buttons visible are large power on/off, channel changing arrows, mute and the oh-so important volume up/down control. No longer does the user ever need to press an extra button to power on the cable, satellite or DTV converter.

Just set the Flipper Remote and never again touch the scary buttons. It’s a wonderfully simple device, perfect for every family with children or elderly members. But go ahead and get one for every TV in your house, because it’s the one remote that work every time – that is, when you can find it!

Protect Your Kindle

Keeping that Kindle safe and sound is an absolute priority to those of us who are addicted to the wonders of the e-reader extraordinaire. After several near misses around hotel swimming pools, at the beach and, yes…even the bathtub, we knew we needed to take more precaution in protecting that Kindle from water, from being crushed, and from being dropped. 

So began our search for the perfect and protective cover. We settled on the Belkin's Neoprene Sleeve Case that features a slim, form-fitting design that maintains the Kindle's convenient portability so you can take your collection of e-books wherever you go, and keep it safe and sound regardless the environment. The sleeve case is made of neoprene, the same material used in wetsuits, and has thick padding all around protecting it from shock and scratches, so you'll feel confident carrying your Kindle wherever you go. The case protects the reader's large screen, so you won't have to worry about scratching it and ruining your reading experience. And, you'll notice when you're zipping the case that the zippers themselves are padded to prevent scratching the Kindle. Belkin has covered every detail for you with this protective sleeve. The Neoprene Sleeve Case is designed so you can retrieve and put away your Kindle 2 quickly and easily. The case has two zippers configured in a unique asymmetrical design that provides easy access from both the top and the side.

Portable Grill-on-the-Go

No matter where you picnic or cook out, you can take this portable grill that is big enough to cook for 4-6 people. The Coleman Fold N Go Grill is fully adjustable and has a matchless ignition system. Push a button and the 6,000-BTU horseshoe-shaped, stainless still burner is ready to go with you without filling up a heavy propane tank because it uses a standard 16.4 ounce propane bottle that can operate up to 3.5 hours on one cylinder.

It features a PerfectFlow™ pressure control system that regulates fuel flow for constant, even heat which means burgers cook “perfectly”. This ultraversatile, all-in-one propane stove can handle every task and recipe thanks to interchangeable cooking surfaces. You can add a griddle accessory and a stove grate that makes this a triple pleasure. And, clean up is a breeze with the durable, porcelain-coated, stamped-steel grate and grease pan that are removable and can even go in the dishwasher. 

Even though it only weighs 11 pounds, it’s designed to really perform with the heavy-duty, dome-shaped lid.  We love everything about this little cooking dynamo—they thought of everything including the folding handles that we just tucked away when we were done. Coleman specializes in outdoor fun the old fashioned way—simplicity and quality. The size makes it perfect to transport or store—it’s ready to GO when you are. So come on...fire up the fun!

Protect Your Hands When Grilling

buy grill glovePicture this: you’re grilling T-bones and corn on the cob and decide to rearrange everything on the hot grill. There’s not a fork in sight, so you simply grab the sizzling steaks and hot taters with your hand and place them wherever you want them. What’s wrong with this picture? Not a thing -- because you’re wearing the heat-resistant, silicone Grill Glove, and your hand is perfectly safe. Don’t, however, ever try it with cloth oven mitts! First of all, most mitts are unsanitary and disgusting-looking from stains and burn holes, and secondly -- they’ll cause you to burn your little self!

The silicone Grill Glove is the indispensable, heat-resistant, five-finger glove that’s perfect for picking up blistering corn on the cob, burgers and entire racks of ribs right off the grill! It’s so much safer than a cloth oven mitt that you can easily manipulate a red-hot Dutch oven or grate while wearing it, because it’s heat resistant up to 500 degrees! It will never catch afire or absorb moisture like cloth mitts and potholders, and totally resists stains. Although it will never look as bad as a cloth oven mitt, when it does get black with charcoal, just cycle it through the dishwasher and Grill Glove comes out sanitary and looking like new!

So go ahead and grab hold of those hot, hot links and give them a turn -- even if you’re a charcoal griller. You know you’re safe using the Grill Glove, and clean up will be a breeze. But first, make sure you tossed all those old cloth oven mitts, because we don’t want you to ever forget and use one of them by mistake. With Grill Glove, grilled hands will never be on the menu!

 

Grill Daddy = Spotless BBQ Grill!

buy grill daddyA dirty barbecue grill is about as welcome as a colony of ants at the church picnic. Can you imagine? Invite the gang over, pour the drinks, stack the hamburger patties on a plate ready to grill, lift the barbecue cover and….yuck, double yuck. There’s the grease and chicken remnants from last week’s chicken cookout!

It’s time to call on Grill Daddy! We are happy to report this is a dandy little product designed to keep the grill spotless and sanitary. It’s inexpensive, simple to use, and it gets the job done as well as any such product on the market.

One of the things we like best about Grill Daddy is it cleans between grill grates and surfaces and, in so doing, it steams away baked-on foods and grease. To use, you just preheat, turn a dial, rinse and sanitize. It’s that simple. Presto. A clean, sparkling grill you will be proud of. We all love that backyard barbecue scene on a pleasant, lazy summer evening. The cheeseburgers are still the stars of the show and, quite simply, they will be more appetizing and taste better after being cooked on a clean grill.

Thanks, Grill Daddy!
