Tagline: The most convenient teapot you will find anywhere - we guarantee it.

This is the teapot that got me into loose leaf tea after using it at DrFaulken’s house. You just have to heat the water to the appropriate temperature, add the right amount of tea, pour in the water, allow the tea to steep and place the tea pot on top of your preferred drinking container causing the tea to drain and discard the used tea leaves. This teapot has not one but two US patents: US Patent 5,826,493 - Infusion coffee maker and US Patent 6,058,827 - Structure of a tea flushing device. As per DrFaulken’s Adagio.com review and recommendation, I bought two of the pots (one for home and one for work) as part of Adagio Tea’s starter set for $19. They sell the teapot by itself for the same price go figure.

Since DrFaulken has done a couple of reviews of external hard drive enclosures, I thought I would give it a go with my latest purchase of a Western Digital Lighted Extreme Series II 250GB Hard Drive. The twist is that while he reviewed enclosures where you add a separately acquired hard drive, I ended up chosing an all in one solution with some flair (re: some extra, unnecessary lights). This was done primarily because the price differential between buying the enclosure and drive separately vs. together doesn’t seem to be as great as I at least remember it used to be. I got this external hard drive from NewEgg for $120 where as an internal WD 250 GB SATA drive goes for $70 and a good enclosure costs about $40. I also don’t have any need to change the drive out unless it fails. Also, lets face it, I like blinky lights. For full effect, I am writing this review with only the Harbor Breeze 52″ Neon Light Ceiling Fan, the Western Digital and the 20″ iMac providing illumination (though I think the iMac is providing most of the actual illumination).
