Why does Amazon.com think I need to buy powertools?
Every week I get an email stating that "As someone who's shown an interest in tools and home improvement products, you might like to check out these savings for the fall and winter season."

I have never bought any home improvement items from Amazon.

Are they trying to tell me something?

1. Time to start that kitchen re-model, apparently.

2. Amazon has teamed with Google Earth
They can see that loose step on your porch.

4. "As someone with a loose step and a completely inappropriate slat fence,
Amazon thinks you could use the following tools and supplies, and maybe a book on landscaping. Seriously. I mean, wtf?!"

3. I've been using your password
If you see a good deal on a table saw, jump on it. I'll reimburse you. Really. And I'll respect you in the morning.
