Anyone who remembers Dick Tracy will surely remember his fancy watch. It was a watch AND a video phone. Dick Tracy's vision of the future was we'd all have wrist watches that double as phones. What we really have is phones that double as pocket watches!
Even though pretty much everyone has a clock on their cell phone, I don't think watches will ever become obsolete. They're just too cool. I own several watches- all of them water proof. I can wear my watch while exploring the beach, boating or doing any outdoor activity. One of my watches even has a compass built into it. I'd NEVER bring my Blackberry in swimming with me, but I still like to keep track of time nonetheless. I need to know when it's time to go get a hot dog!
Watches make great gifts too. My wife has given me several watches over the years. Shge says she likes to see me using a gift every day. Since I wear a watch every day, she sees it! A few years ago, she gave me one of those fancy Tag Heuer chronograph watches. I wear it when I get all dressed up for a night on the town.
A fancy watch says, "hey, I have it all together." Guys or gals who wear a Rolex get instant cred wherever they go.
I don't think I will ever NOT wear a watch. I would even be interested in one of Dick Tracy's "watch phones." Who knows, maybe some day someone will actually make one- I'd buy it!

Discount Gadget Geek Alert
School is back IN for most kids and now is the time that routines get set and the hustle bustle of the fall begins. Stores have had Halloween candy out for a couple of weeks now and I'd be willing to bet Christmas stuff is out after Labor Day.
It won't be long until the masses begin thinking about Christmas shopping. I am not the type of guy to go to the mall. Throughout the year, I will buy gifts for birthdays and Christmas when I find a good deal. I have four teens who are always on the lookout for the Best Gadgets, so when I come across a good deal, I snatch it up. Geek Alerts is a cool little site that keeps me updated on the best new gadgets and off-beat gifts all year round.
Geek Alerts also offers coupons and discounts. I can use their Vistaprint coupon codes to get deals on my business cards and other printed items for my business. My daughter used Geek Alerts' Staples coupons to load up on school supplies (it also gives her a good excuse to create a "wish list").
It is only the first day of September, and I already have a bunch of Christmas shopping done. I might even get a nifty gadget for Little Miss' birthday in October. :o)
Our Sea Glass Jewelry
After nearly two years, my first e-commerce site is LIVE.
Fans of the Hot Dog Truck know I like to collect Sea Glass. My daughter and I have been making sea glass jewelry and we are now offering our creations on my new site, Our Sea Glass Jewelry.
Each piece of jewelry is unique- no two pieces of sea glass are alike. If you want a gift for a special woman in your life, get her the gift no other woman in the world has- a one of a kind pair of sea glass earrings.
Picture This Gift
When you just don't know what to get someone for Christmas, a gift card can be the perfect gift. Then they can get what they want. A Visa gift card is the best because it can be used anywhere.
The bad thing about a gift card is it can be a tad impersonal. Sure you can write a nice note with the gift card, but it's still just a piece of plastic.
Now you can create a personalized gift card with a cool picture or graphic design so it's not so impersonal. You show your love for the gift recipient by giving them something you "made" yourself and they get whatever they want!
A gift card makes a great stocking stuffer too!
