Recommended by Lois Wickstrom,
one of our professional writers in residence. "I have a non-stick frying pan
that I've used for over 30 years. It can be scrubbed with a stainless steel
scrubbie. You can use metal utensils on it. I usually use it with just a bit of
PAM or equivalent (I prefer Trader Joe's Olive Oil spray). It is still non-stick
after all these years. So, despite the price: $45 with free Amazon shipping, I
highly recommend it. Yes, it's true, even professional writers sometimes cook, and when they do they want tools as professional as their writing tools. Try this pan and see.

Canon PowerShot S500 5MP Digital Elph with 3x Optical
Zoom
Or the
Canon PowerShot A520 5 Megapixel that takes larger pictures for framing on
the wall - and here's a card that stores thousands of web-postable size images
and fits this camera
|
You can still buy 2 MP (2 Megapixel) cameras, but this is the
latest in resolution. I have a friend who has a Canon
Powershot.
She brought it over, plugged it into my computer and presto -- no fuss, muss
or bother, we had pictures ready to post to the internet. Now why
would a writer need that? I have a freelance journalist friend who gets paid to supply photos with her stories. I have another friend who manipulates photo-images to make backgrounds and other fancy decorations for websites. A writer needs tools that just work -- no fuss. |

Konica
Minolta PagePro 1250W Laser Printer Other products by QMS  Price: $199.00 ON SALE.Might be more now. Usually ships in 1-2 business days |
Here is a real "find" for the impecunious writer.
They now make LASER printers in B&W cheaper than the old dot-matrix
printers and not much more expensive than the absolutely forbidden ink-jet
printers. This is a chintzy machine, but goshwow for the money, a
writer's dream!
A writer's hardcopy backup or submission draft must not have ink that can smear or run or transfer to other objects. In a publisher's production environment, smearing a page could knock your book out of the publishing slot and ruin all the publicity buildup. Publishers who still use paper demand non-smear copy -- and now you can afford it! Read the reviews of this machine on amazon -- take a moment to compare to the reviews of the Hewlett Packard (used to be best) machines. This Konica Milolta Page Pro B&W has a good price, doesn't jam, has 1200X1200 resolution -- isn't fast at 17ppm, (half an hour for 500 pages), but will do the job until you can afford a thousand dollar color printer. ADVICE: Get a laser printer. Be sure it does not use a cartridge you can only buy from the manufacturer. Check www.quill.com for remanufactured cartridges. You want better than 600X600 resolution. You need smooth non-jam feeding. BEWARE: the cheapest quietest machines have no FAN and will overheat and quit after 50 pages or so. Read the reviews on amazon and learn printers. |
TiVo
TCD540140 Series2 140-Hour Digital Video Recorder
Every day Amazon offers new bargains on these best-selling
items. |
I have a DVR rented from my cable system that
accesses an online menu to program it -- a competitor to Tivo -- just to
see if I like DVR. There are a number of reasons you may not want
to go with the TiVo brand yet, so read about
this on amazon. But I love my DVR TV programming system though
it's too small, holding less than 20 hours of programming
when it's rated for 50.
This DVR-online-programming concept is one huge time-saver. You can get through all your TV programs and have loads of time left over for reading! And it can connect to your wireless network using this neat little
USB wireless adapter: |
