SecondRotation is a service that wants to buy your used digital cameras, camcorders, mp3 players, and other gadget goodies and then turn around and sell them on eBay.  You just need to find the item you want to sell, tell their “dynamic pricing calculator” the condition of the item, and then decide if you want to take their offer.  If you think you’re getting a good deal you can print out a pre-paid shipping label (that’s right, they pay for shipping) and wait for your check or PayPal payment to arrive.  If they receive your item and it isn’t in as good condition as you thought, SecondRotation will make you another offer.  You can deny the offer and they’ll still pay shipping on the return.  You’re taking a chance that you may not get as much for your gear as you would selling it on eBay yourself, but if time is money then SecondRotation could be a great service for some people.  Here’s my screencast tour of SecondRotation:

DailyLit is a service that lets you read books through email or RSS. Just pick your book, decide if you want to read the book in your email or feed reader, and choose the days you want to read it. On the day and time of your choice, DailyLit will spit a “part” of the book into your email or reader. You can even choose to continue onto the next part – if you’re feeling like a super slacker (meaning: you’re doing this at work ). Here’s my screencast tour of DailyLit:
