Geek Stuff, a Wizard and a tip..

Well every one knows about the wizard. Yes sir, Harry Potter is back in action. Early reviews look good. On Amazon people are rating it 4.5 stars out of 5 and of course we have them here at Zeeba Books for 25% of the cover price.

The Geek stuff is an ongoing part of this blog. I'll always be trying to pass along the best of the web. Whenever I see something, cool, usefull or at least interesting I'll let you know. Bookmark me now to get the best new web stuff.
Google Maps - tools
Have you ever gone for a walk or a bike ride and then wondered how far you went? No need to wonder anymore. Try out the Google Pedometer. All you need to do is find your spot on the map, double click a few points and there you go. I now know my daily walk to work is 1.4 kilometers...
If you find Google Maps interesting, and who doesn't be sure to check out the Google Maps Blog for the latest developments.
While I'm writing this I'm listening to Suggs over at Virgin Radio. If you have a pair of speakers plugged into your PC and happen to be surfing the net on Friday or Saturday afternoon head over to Virgin Radio and click on 'The Original' to get an earfull of the best DJ around.
One other website I came across this week is Double Agent. A one stop shop for the funniest/strangest video clips around.

Now my Tip..and it comes from some serious news heard this morning. I'm proud to be part of a community of Book Sellers from all corners of the world. At one of the distant corners there was a horrific traffic acident involving one of our peers. Phil from Leura Books in Australia has been badly injured. Apparently the doctors worked on him yesterday and they are now waiting to see if he has been brain damaged or not. The outpouring of affection for him on the Abebooks book sellers forum tremendous. It seems everybody that met him has a ton of love and respect for him. My point is obvious, things, bad things can happen to any of us at any time. You or your spouse may be simply returning home from a typical day at the office when out of the blue your lives become shattered. I just hope that you can take a second or two out of your day and hug your kids or tell someone how happy you are that they participate in your life.

Enjoy and Appreciate!
