Look, I know it's Product Blogging 101, but it always amazes me when I see a
product blog like this one that has:

a.) No description of what the product _is_

b.) No direct link to the product website

So now, after visiting that site, I know that Wakemates are ready. But I have
no idea what a Wakemate is, and short of manipulating the URL by hand, I have
no way to get to a website that will tell me anything about them.

Since I'm on an iPad, it's orders of magnitude easier to simply hit the back
button and write this comment, before forgetting about whatever this product
was forever.
