I was so pleased with my other pre-4th acquisitions, that I went back to 
Harborfreight and got some more!


Harborfreight 4th Sale Deal #1: Two Mini Aluminum Flashlights for $4 (reg $10)
I bought a couple of these last week:

But loved them so much that I went back and got two more! They were on sale 
(through the 4th) for just $3.99 for a two pack.. and I LOVE these little 
super bright LED lights. The suckers are only three inches long, INCLUDE 
three AAA cells and are solid knurled aluminum.  I have four of them now.. 
one for the car, one beside the bed.. one in my computer case, and a spare 
that the kids play with.  Even at $10 they're a deal. :)

Harborfreight 4th Sale Deal #2: Outdoor, color/IR Video Camera $30 (reg $40)
As I've said before, I'm kind of starting to buy up the parts for building a 
home surveillance  system for doing motion activated cameras that will email 
my phone URLs to see live activity in and around my house given certain 
conditions... and have saw that Harborfreight was selling these little 
outdoor, solid aluminum housing, IR/night cameras for just $29! A pretty 
sweet deal:

I've been shopping around and cameras like these typically START at around $70 
and go up.  So even at the regualr $40 they're a deal.  

BTW.. if folks are interested.. the raw program to do motion activated snap 
shots in Linux is called "motion", here:
	http://motion.sourceforge.net/

But I'll post more info on doing Linux based security monitoring in my next 
post.
