Cool Tools website

Kevin Kelley's website is only updated a couple times/week but it's one that I check every day because the updates are so fascinating... Today brought four new entries. Three caught my eye: Hike? Check out The Trail Database This page is a collection of links to people's trail reports so there is about 10% link rot as web accounts drift away over time. Still, fun reading and global in scope. Need to email the webmaster and tell them about Xenu (This Xenu, most definitely not THAT Xenu) Next on today's list is this site: Remote Web Cam These people make cameras that can be controlled from remote computers on the internet. There is a built--in web server in the camera so you just need to give it an IP number, connect it to the net, set some permissions and go for it. Basic unit is about $280 - higher end units have tilt/pan/zoom functions. Finally is a simple gel burn--bandage. These used to be only available to Doctors but they are now being sold retail. Walgreens has a good deal on a good one. Check this site out. I am redoing my blogroll and will be including CoolTools in the revamped version. Posted by DaveH at March 22, 2004 8:50 PM
