Open Your Own eShop the Easy Way

“Zlio” – have you heard of this useful little e-Hobby that’s currently working wonders on the internet?

It’s a weird name for a cool service which I’ve started to use, which allows you to create your own shop in less than five minutes! Yes Sir – all in five minutes, and no need to know HTML or even to deal with the usual headaches of creating a website!

And now, I have my own online shop which I can personalize as much as I want and on which I can sell products which I’ve selected from a database of over three million – the only really tough thing was to think of a good name for the shop!

All I really need to do, now, is to advertise my shop to other people and let them now about it, because I get a very cool commission (2% to 15%) every time someone buys something from me! But of course, I never need to handle the items myself – all of that’s dealt with for me!

 

Crocheting

Been crocheting lately.  Anna Valerie designs are my favorite.  I’m using size 10 thread to make coaster sets – right now I’m testing out several designs to see which work out the best.

 

Strange But Truely Yummy Linkaroo!

Bubble Tea – I asked my local bistro to put this on the menu.  We’ll see.  The San Francisco location of TenRen is fantastic and the ladies there have always been helpful. It’s a must-stop for every trip to the Bay Area.
Ginger Lemonade -  This recipe is easier than the others I know of because you don’t have to strain out grated ginger.  It is also nice to leave a couple ginger and lemon slices in the bottom of the pitcher for looks.

Buffalo Burgers – Last year, I received a calendar from my tribe that had traditional recipes in it, including a buffalo roast.  I was curious, so I ordered it through my local market, cooked it up, and it was very good.  It has a venison sort of taste.

 

Robotics Linkaroo!

If you are anything resembling a geek, you have at least a little interest in robots.  Just don’ t use the word “droid” because it belongs to Lucas.

• Battle Bots – Self explanatory.
• Parallax – education, plans, kits – if you want to learn, it’s all here.
• ASIMO  & Video – Kids love this.  I find the implications are getting a little frightening.  Video not on the official site.
