Gizmo Alert.

Did you know that the average company employee spends approximately 5.9 hours per week surfing the Internet for non-work-related purposes? Kind of makes you glad you're self employed huh?

Well, when I'm at work andI run across a cool product, service or gizmo on the web, I usually bookmark it for future consumption. Today, I share my favorites with you...

In no particular order:

Google Earth: The most amazing aerial photo, mapping, interactive globe software on the planet. Free download.

VajaCases: Custom built in South America, Vaja sells leather cases for your PDA, Treo, Notebook, Sony PSP. This gear is pimp, but be ready to drop some serious jack. I have one for my Treo 650...As good as it gets.

Home Movie Depot: These guys recently took 37 of my circa 1974 8mm film reels and transferred them to 2 DVD's. I was able to edit and drop in sound tracks (mostly because having no audio is a drag). Total cost: Around 3 Hundy.

iTunes 4.9: Apples digital music establishment just jacked up the stakes by adding podcast downloading to it's iTunes software package. If you've never heard of the word Podcast, check out their site.

Real Estate Cartoon: These guys will draw these hilarious caricature's of you in various real estate situations. Something a little different for your marketing dollar.
