eHOW - A Great Source of Useful AND Useless Information

Wow!  Ehow.com has really expanded since I last visited several months ago. After reviewing the site, however, I was pondering the wisdom of letting John Q Public contribute to the "how-tos".  There are some incredibly useful ideas on this site, but it is also a great source of comedic material - I expect Leno will use some of these things next in lieu of his ad segment.

For example, you can learn how to:

Understand an Apple Cleansing Fast - Sorry folks, I will never understand this one!

How to Take An Internal Bath - Run that by me again??

How to Milk Your Goat - This one is on the top of MY list...........

and How to Decorate a Bathroom for a Party - Sounds like a great party - where?

In support of this site, I must say there are many useful items to be found as well, such as:

How to Get the Men in Your House to Put the Toilet Seat Down

How to Build a Doghouse

and How to Diagnose Paint Problems

I don't see an RSS feed available yet for this site, but this would be a good one to add to a home page. Perhaps I am missing something............

Will They Multiply Like (Gulp) Rabbits?

Just when you thought you'd heard it all, in comes Nabaztag - which is Armenian for bunny. What is Nabaztag?  Why, a WiFi enabled bunny, of course! 

Nabaztag is the 2006 answer to the Pet Rock of the 70s - only much more intelligent.  You can name your bunny on registration, and the colors of its belly will tell you whether you have mail, what the weather is like outside, or even if there are new posts to your favorite blog.

Created by Violet, the same company that brought us a USB fragrance diffuser, Nabaztag can move his ears, play music, read you the latest ESPN column from your computer, tell you when you have an SMS message on your phone, wake you up to your favorite MP3s, and download RSS feeds. And yes, he can communicate with other bunnies - he can even send them music clips.

Podcasts are now passe - as now we have Nabcasts through your bunny. 

But beware, these bunnies are programmed to have a personality.  They will tell you at the end of the week how much they have enjoyed (or not enjoyed) their week with you.  Chill out from the stress by taking a Tai Chi lesson with your bunny.

Nabaztag is a bargain at $149 from ThinkGeek. 

Oh, and watch the fashion scene. Nabaztag has just made a debut at this years London Design Festival. After all, they ARE French!
