I just posted a link on my DominoKeys site about a blog I check out often by Guy Kawasaki,
a dude who used to be a product evangelist for Mac/Apple and now finds
and funds some of the brightest ideas on the web. In short: he has my
dream job. (Well, if you could somehow throw Disney and WWE into that
mix.)

He posted a list of stuff he recommends this past week and much to my surprise, he listed one of the things I was going to mention in a similar posting:
Logitech Presenter

If you ever do PowerPoint (or Keynote) presentations, you need this. It has everything you need in a remote mouse/pointer/timer/thing. It has a timer to keep track of how long you have been talking (or have to go), easy forward/back buttons, a laser pointer and my favorite feature, the ability to go to a black screen (great for stopping people from looking at the screen when they need to listen). The thing has an awesome range, doesn’t need to be “pointed” at anything and has a USB adapter that fits neatly into the remote. Check it out! (Don’t buy direct from the manufacturer … you can get them much cheaper elsewhere.)

Guy’s post on that, led me to another thing that’s quickly becoming a favorite…

Retrievo

This search engine is quite smart. The interface is quickly becoming somewhat of a standard in mail and RSS reader applications and it lends itself perfectly to this type of a tool. I totally recommend trying it out. — Oh, and you can make your first search be the Logitech Presenter to find a better price than direct from Logitech.

Wow…. wasn’t that a nice transition?!
