Ice Dozer - pulvarize the ice & snow

Ice Dozer M121 with a name like that and a picture like that sure seems a bad-a** ice scraper extreme. This big and rugged, oversized blade that flexes to match the curve of your windshield, clears 7" swath, with a front plow that pushes snow and ice ahead of you, even has two different sets of ice-cracking teeth. I see dual use, clean the windshield and bashing any skulls in a hand-to-ice-scrapper combat. US$19.95. Perfect before the snow and ice arrive.

Frappr is a web application (in Beta) that lets you create custom FREE gmaps to pointify (I'm coining this term) your users, readers, family, friends.

With that note please add yourself on the netintrigues gmap and share with us a picture or note (please love notes only, ha!).

Herbs in your eggling

eggling is another japanese attempt at feng-shue? Cermaic eggs that come pre-loaded with your choice of herbs and soil. Crack em open like a hard boiled egg, add water and sunlight and in a few days you've got your own herbs sprouting. Basil, Mint, Italian Parsly, or Thyme are your choices. I'm sure we can think of a few hacks to this, but for legal reasons we won't touch that area. If you fancy them, they can be your's for US$10 each.

Netvibes, let it vibe your RSS

I've been really putting this RSS feed reader through its paces for last month. Despite my extensive attempts to scrutinize this, I have not found a single gripe about it. Yes, Google is out with their RSS reader, but this one, is clean, quick load, user friendly UI, highly customizable and actually a logical way of reading all your RSS feed. Even allows integration to your gmail and webnotes. You can access your own page, if you sign up for a free account. In the last month I have not gotten a single spam from them. I love it. Don't take my word, just try it out yourself. Costs you $0.00, nothing beats that.

iPod it the iWay - Directions on your iPod

iWay is a neat FREE website that lets you put directions ( map & directions ) on your iPod. Sorry iPod Shuffle owners, you need a screen. iWay takes in your from and to directions, and gives back a .zip of sequential images of map and step-by-step directions. If you carry your iPod like your PDA, then this is for you. For me I stick with Avantgo on my pda.
