One thing I like about this website Australia Car Rental is their real-time comparison between car rental suppliers. You can compare the car rental rates for the major car suppliers for Car Rental Sydney. It’s a little similar to wotif.com, but this website is all about car rental.
So, suppose you want to compare Melbourne Car Rental rates, you’ll get a resultlist with on the left-hand side a view on all possible car-models for Melbourne and each supplier his rate for that specific car. It’s extremely easy to pick out the cheapest car rental as it gives you a straight and simple overview of all car rental rates.
The great part is, the company Oodles has expanded his services from Australia to New Zealand, United States and United Kingdom. Oodles of car rental !

Acoustimass Bose
Sound is not just sound. Purity of tones can only be truly experienced with a bose soundsystem. If you have a big screen or projector at home, only one brand fits your audio and that is Bose. Yes, it is not cheap ; but is value for money. You don’t buy a soundsystem everyday, right ? Save that extra money and you will not regret it, promised.
The secret of quality-audio with Bose is the speakers, not that much the amplifier. So if you can afford only the speakers, buy a descent amplifier such as Yamaha or Pioneer and Bose-speakers will make already a huge difference compared to any other regular audio-system. I am talking about the Acoustimass-speakers ; you can buy a 5.1 version or even a 7.1 version. That is 5 or 7 small speakers and a rather big woofer.
Not only the sound is sensational, look at those cute little cubes, they fit everywhere. The woofer is a different story as it comes to ‘cute’, especially in the latest editions of Acoustimass ; the woofer is really huge, but on the other hand it is performant.

Everlasting lighter : the Zippo

Zippo... a lifetime lighter

Zippo - everlasting lighter
A descent lighter… Sometimes I wonder how long a lighter lasts. Smokers already polute the air, they polute the surroundings with ashes, etc. But in the end it’s just tobacco and paper. While lighters are often plastic and not so environmently friendly.
One quality product is the well-known Zippo ; a lighter that lasts for ever. Production started in 1932 and in the beginning their biggest client was the US-army. They tried several materials and shapes, but what remained in their offer is : a zippo is windproof and you can refill it at your local gasstation with gasoline (don’t try that at home).
Zippo is one of my favourite quality-products because it lasts!

While talking about lighters… those lighters you find at your local store, some of them are even dangerous and can explode in your hands. One descent throw-away lighter would be Bic. This company specialises in pens and markers, those pens leak and are basically no good. But the company came up with an entire new productline of … lighters. The big-lighters undergo 50 quality checks and consist out of high quality components, no shit. Those lighters are firm, you can even open a bottle of beer with the ‘foot’ of the lighter. Don’t try that with a local-store lighter.

Cordless Optical Mouse - V220 - Logitech
Being behind a pc, i touch my mouse probably more than I touch my girlfriend. So it’s an important tool to me (my girlfriend ain’t in case you’re wondering - I mean - she ain’t a ‘tool’, but she’s important to me though). Enough about my girlfriend, so this mouse is a part of my life big time. I usually buy regular mice, but wires get in the way, so why not buy a wireless mouse, heh. In the store, my eye felt on this Cordless Optical Mouse from Logitech, for one reason onlY : the design looked so good and I loved the colours. Not a reason to buy that mouse, but I good imagine holding that mouse, fitting my hand, just like the body of my girlfriend. Anyways, I liked it and I went to the cashier.
The mouse came with a wireless usb-adapter. This usb-stick can be attached to the back of the mouse ; in case you have to travel with your mouse, no chance of losing that small stick. On the side of the mouse, you have a sort of rubber material. It makes sure the mouse stays where it should stay (most of the mice have that same slippery plastic cover all around and they slip all the time off my fingers). But most important, the mouse fits my hand, being thick and small under my hand palm and wide enough under my fingers. Two simple buttons and a basic scroll make this mouse perfect.
There is also a small switch on the bottom to switch off the mouse, but for me it’s too small and I always forget to switch it off. A disadvantage is the battery ; there is no way to recharge the mouse by plugging it into the usb or recharge it via the circuit. But apart from that, a quality mouse !
After having a look at the company’s website, they seem to have even more advanced mice , but I like mine : http://www.logitech.com
