Cheers,

What is the music under your You Tube video on The Secret? It’s very cool.
If you watch the end credits, you will see a list of songs and artists (though I mistakenly switched the 2nd and 3rd songs). Glad you like them.

Great source of info with a sharp look. Consider yourself bookmarked!
Steve: Thanks! And I finally added InventorSpot to this links page.

One of the greatest gadgets I have come across recently happens to be the steam shower. This device is full of gadgets and also offer therapeutic benefits all in one.
I just tried to order the Monster Pong Table Tennis set, but it didn’t seem to go through. Is it still available?
Hi there! Absolutely wonderful site; I have it bookmarked already!
In response to Margo’s original comment – I own and have read, and re-read, the book “The Secret” MANY times. I find it is a great reminder of a focus on the right mindset in life. I’m not super religious, but I am an avid reader and writer, and I would also recommend checking out a book called “The Shack.” I don’t take it quite so literally as others might, but it has a deeply touching message, and it is another book I enjoy re-reading when I am feeling lost 🙂
Also, I’m a big fan of random and quirky gadgets! I like to visit http://www.techconsumer.com/ because they always seem to find the things I have never heard of. I thought it might make a nice addition to your list. Either way, thanks for all the great info! Keep up the good vibes 🙂
