Amazon.com launched a new affiliate tool this week called aStore. This tool allows you to create your own themed Amazon store and embed the store on your web site. The tool is very easy to use and allows you to create a site complete with product reviews and full product descriptions. They have even added some widgets that automatically display lists and similar items. There have always been ways to display lots of Amazon content on your web site, but this is a much more robust and easy to implement option.

Of course I could not resist playing around with it, so I created my own little store and filled it with products related to David Allen's Getting Things Done productivity methodology: books, labelers, moleskine notebooks, PDA's...

I am planning to embed the aStore in my new GTD related weblog, but until that I will only publish an ungly Amazon aSTore link to my Getting Things Done on-line shop.

Personal finance is the application of the principles of finance to the monetary decisions of an individual or family unit.

I have a love/hate relationship with personal finance. Ever since I have a computer I have been trying to get a grip on finances, with changing results.
