We love good tools. Especially when they are high quality and made in Germany by Wiha.

Blue's original Yeti microphone is one of my favorite podcasting mics, and MacMall has it on a killer deal this week for just $79.99. This microphone connects to your Mac or PC via USB, has on-mic adjustable gain control, passthrough (and zero-latency monitoring) headphone jack with separate volume, and a mute switch. Additionally, this mic has multiple elements, and you can configure it in stereo (interview) mode, cardiod mode (for single-person podcasts), or omni-directional mode to pick up a whole room's worth of people. Check it out, it won't stay at this price for long.
Yesterday I was looking to book flights for a summer trip to Lake Tahoe (to see Phish, naturally). On nearly every airline I tried, looking to depart from either Manchester (MHT) or Boston (BOS) and heading to the Reno/Tahoe airport (RNO), the cost was about $800 per ticket. At the advice of some Twitter followers, I checked flights in and out of Sacramento (SMF) and on most airlines these were about the same, except Southwest where going from MHT to SMF saved me over $300 per ticket, making the cost of two tickets less than $1000. Still not as cheap as it would have been 2 years ago, but much better today!

My wife and I want some protection in our home, but with a house full of kids and their friends, we wanted something safer than a firearm.
Our sister site, The Mac Observer, today posted about a cool docking station they found: the Apricorn Aegis Netdock. This features a built-in DVD burner, USB hub, and even has a bay for a hard drive. There are options to buy it with or without a drive installed, and today Amazon is showing them for $46.32 ($39.99 + $6.33 shipping through J&R). That's a good deal for a great external dock. Apple's stand-alone USB SuperDrive is nearly double that at US$79.
