Links for my father

Two links I've mentioned that can be accessed via a handy web interface (this one):

The Coleman Stirling Power Electric Cooler is a highly efficient portable electric cooler that will run on 12v or 120v and will keep its contents at near-freezing temperature. The Stirling engine is the key (where most electric coolers use the Peltier effect (aka TEC) to cool. This unit seems better suited to camping or expeditions than casual or vacation use because of the higher price (around $400) but this is a case of getting what one pays for. Holds about thirty or so twelve ounce cans. Back-to-the-landers, a 75 watt solar panel could run this one.

Google Analytics is an order of magnitude better than the tiny "counters" one sees at the bottom of web pages. The tiny snippet of code inserted into webpages tracks hits, but also where site visitors are visiting from, what pages people have been looking at and the search terms used to navigate to the page. It's powerful, it's easy and it's free (to Gmail account holders (I have 98 more Gmail invitations if there's anyone who isn't)).
