A good friend of mine just launched Roxer. Roxer is a very cool site that lets you create webpages very easily and simply. Why is this cooler than the other tools out there that let you do this? It is really easy to use and you can change the layout with just a few clicks and by dragging the various boxes around. There are a number of pre-canned widgets or boxes to let you add photos and youtube videos.
If you need a web page for something Roxer is a great place to start.

Zwaggle is a cool website that lets you trade your used baby stuff for points which you can then use to get other stuff people are trading. Most people do this informally. I have gotten boxes and bags stuffed with clothes from friends and co-workers. Expanding this out to the web is a great idea. One of those ideas that I kick myself for not thinking of!

For those of us dads who are obsessive-compulsive about our child’s nursery environment, I bring you, remote temperature thermometer. We live in an old “breathable”, two-story house with hot water radiator heat. At times, the temperature can fluctuate from room-to-room.
So the search commenced for a temperature thermometer which would be placed in her room with out being to much of a hassle. At the hardware store, I stumbled across affordable digital thermometer sensors by Taylor USA.
I procured a Taylor USA Model #1453 Wireless Indoor / Outdoor with Remote Sensor for $29.99. For the price, you get a main temperature unit and a remote sensor. The remote sensor is trick because it can also be used to monitor the temperature of liquids (think aquariums, etc). I like the main display, the numbers are easy to read and you can switch between remote sensors with the touch of a button. The range is decent as well, I have the remote sensor on the 2nd floor and the main unit on the first floor at the other end of the house.
After a few minutes of putzing around with package removal and battery installation, I now have a temperature sensor in my daughters bedroom which I can monitor remotely. If I feel really sexy, I can also add up to 2 additional temperature sensors.
At the end of the day, I highly recommend the Taylor product.
