I Forgot to Tell You About WondaWedge

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 02:00 PM PDT


No, WondaWedge isn’t some Bajan hussie I found on the beach. It’s a blow-up thingy that was perfect for us on the beach. Since I had packed a suitcase with three sets of swim fins, three masks and snorkels, we ended up with a suitcase full of beach gear. My kinda travel.
One suitcase with beach gear and one suitcase with beachwear.
Here’s the WondaWedge in action:

Turns out we didn’t have any pix of us using the  WondaWedge, so I snared these from the website. It’s a made of something they call “flocked PVC.” It’s kind of like a plastic suede.

It’s not like lying on a air mattress all day and then having to peel the thing off your body because you’re stuck to it. It’s comfortable even without tossing a beach towel over it. And it stayed fairly cool too.

I didn’t keel over from inflating the WondaWedge either. It only took me a minute or so to blow it up and the valve held the pressure. The sand brushed off easily and we packed it home.

It’s nice to find a product that actually performs up to the standards they promise. It’s not cheap at $24 + shipping, but I can see this thingy lasting a long time.  Here are some of the suggestions they have for outdoor use:

Beach lounger – sand won't stick to or penetrate
Fishing back support – for more relaxing fishing
Camping lounger – pack it along with your tent
RV accessory – deflates for compact storage
Outdoor concert seating – easy to carry, doesn't tear up the turf
Picnic seating – better than just a blanket
Boating lounger – recline in style on your pontoon or sailboat
Soccer sideline seating – more comfortable than bleachers or a blanket
Outdoor plays/movies – lean back and enjoy the show!
Stargazing – the reclining position is perfect for watching the night sky
Poolside lounger – less expensive than a chaise lounge

AdsCaptcha: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Make Money Off ‘Em

I hate CAPTCHA.

But I’m getting slammed with spam comments from actual human beans. Over 100 spam comments last week.  I have been approving the real ones and letting the fake ones die.

Those of you who comment (thank you VERY much) will suffer for a while because I have installed a CAPTCHA below the comment box.

Nice deal about this is: I get paid every time you type in the CAPTCHA. It’s called AdCaptcha and is a pretty ingenious idea. AdCaptcha says they will send money every time you fill in their Captcha phrase. It’s not nearly as heinous as Google’s squigglie letters that make nonsense words.

PUNCHUM: What you secretly wish you could do to tailgaters.

ISTINGST: An anagram for “It Stings!” (For when you don’t want the bee to know how much misery it caused).

HOOLS: School, after they reorganize the staff in ways that make no sense.

TRIDDLE: A dyslexic tribble.

AdCaptcha’s payout is at a very high $150, so I don’t expect to see any money until this time next year.

Now I’m hoping for the spam comments to start flooding in.

I could learn to love AdCaptcha.
