Website Reveiw---www.Zazzle.com

Zazzle. What a name, and a website. Well, this site is a place for buying tee-shirts, coffee mugs, bumper stickers, buttons, etc. But of course, that cannot be all, and its not. Whats more is that you can edit and make your own products, then buy them yourself. You may be thinking "So, a lot of sites do this,"...well, there is still more. Once you edit an item, you can add it to their site and other people can buy the item. This is a great way do earn a few extra bucks. Too bad there are a few (a ton) of negatives. First of all, the loading process and speed of making an item is slow. Really slow. Next, the interface for making a product is extremely dull and hard to use. You can't even turn a picture or change background color!!! Finally,the only cut of the product is 10%. and if you change it, the price of the product goes up; a lot! My final rating is a 2.5 out of 5.

Website Reveiw--- www.Woot.com

Woot. What a wonderful name for something. It shows that this site is good...which it is. This site a place for buying thing; cheap things. Everyday they have 3 deals on great qualtiy items: a tee-shirt, a wine related item, and the main item. which is anything from an RC Helicopter to a Dell Laptop. These item are extremely well priced for what they are. Also, the tee-shirts are never ordinary. They are made by Woot users and voted on in contests. Each week, there is a differant style for the contest. They are always funny and have great dry-humor. This website is also very professional looking and very wel laid out. They even have it so that you can get the daily item sent to your phone, or even see what it is through their I-Phone app. I give this site a 5 out of 5!

Play-doh--- Why it is what it is.

I'm sure that we've all seen and used play-do before, either as kids or from our kids. This mooshy modeling clay is soft and movable, unlike normal clay, but easily dries. So, how does it work? Well this substance is essentially made of these vital ingredients:

1)Water
2)A starch-based binder (fancy name for sticky stuff)
3)Salt (gives it its salty smell)
4)Lubricant (to make it soft and moldable)
5)Preservative (to stay moldable longer)
6)Hardener (speaks for itself)
7)Fragrance (the salty smell everyone remembers)
8)Color

Together, these and a few other not-as-important items make play-doh. The reason that Play-Doh is not like ordinary clay is the reaction between a starch-based binder and water. When these two items meet, the water penetrates and fills the starch. Eventually, Amylose, a part of the starch, leaves the starch. This causes the surrounding water to thicken and stabilize, giving Play-Doh its thick, but "able to be modeled" texture.

Laser Keyboard

Lasers......and bluetooth. This has got to be good. This is the new Virtual Keyboard. I can't give you a specific company that makes this item because many are starting to. It uses a bluetooth connection to wirelessly connect to your computer or cell-phone (obviously). The way the lasers are used include a few steps. First, a virtual keyboard is projected on your desk. As you type, your fingers break the beam of the key you type and this is inputted into the computer. Think it would be hard to know if you clicked a key or not. This keyboard makes a realistic "click" noise when you type a letter. The average price of this item is $99 to $199, depending on the model. You can even get one that can connect to your phone for much easier typing. This item is pretty good and I give it 3.5 Stars. The only negative is that even with the clicking noise, its not the most accurate piece of equipment. This is for those of you who do a lot of typing on your phone or have a small computer like those tiny Macs.
