Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed You re part of an online community, uploading photos and videos, and just sharing your life in general with other Geeks like you right? More importantly, you re a part of my brand-new Geeks website? Geeks is made for you, and will grow because of you. If you re a Geek of ANY kind, this is where you belong. It doesn t matter if you are a computer Geek, or a movie Geek, or even a chocolate Geek. What matters is that you are passionate about something. That is what makes you a Geek. Geeks is an ad-hoc community. You can create a profile, join or create groups for like-minded individuals, upload pictures and videos, and even blog a bit. There are forum threads, about anything you can think of to write about, or answer. If you go to someone s profile page, you ll notice they have a different theme than you do. You can choose your style, and colors for everything from text to links. Heck, add your own RSS feeds to your profile, too! The only rule really is to be yourself, and be a good person. Be honest, and have fun. What else would you expect from a Geek site? You have the power to start and manage discussions. You have the chance to become more known around the Web, and even to get to know others. You might be surprised how many new friends you ll make in a very short time. If you re a Geek, or even if you re not sure, why not stop by and check us out? Signup is free, and participation is whatever level you are comfortable with.

What are Your Google Chrome Web Browser Tips and Tricks?What are Your Google Chrome Web Browser Tips and Tricks?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Now that you can download Google Chrome, are you going to switch? Granted, this is an early version of the browser, based on very solid pieces of technology. Is it enough, in your limited time playing with it? I ve been trying to dive deeper and discover features that may not seem to be available on the surface for other power users like myself. I think Google has found a perfect balance between power users, and casual users. There are certain things about Chrome that are intuitive, but there s also some things that aren t as smooth as they could be yet. I ve been running Chrome on both Windows XP and Windows Vista for a few hours now. I m sincerely impressed under both circumstances. The feedback I m seeing all over the place is very positive. It is fast. The features are excellent. It just works and works well. So if you re a power user like me, you ll like the following tips I ve come up with for you. If you go to the Omni bar (the address bar) and type in about:memory, you ll get a browser tab that shows a summary of all the processes running in the browser along with running a comparison with any other browsers you may be running at the same time. This will tell you how well it s working on your system. There are several different about: easter eggs hidden in Chrome. You can get information on everything from the running processes to network information to crash information to DNS information! If you want to get to the task manager, right click somewhere in the title bar of the window, and go to task manager. (or click Shift+ESC while the browser is open) You ll see the open tabs you have at the time, as well as if you have any plugins that are running (such as Flash app or ShockWave app). If you have a runaway app, you can select it and end its process. They ve separated that, to keep you from having to shut down your entire browser. You know I like to click on just about everything I see inside a Web browser. Let s say I m on FriendFeed, and see that someone has made a FF Room. Maybe I want to surf that room, but I don t want anything I see or do to be tracked. I can open an Incognito window. Then, everything I do in that browser instance is going to be private. If you do a search for something (like Chris), you can see recent pages in History , containing your word(s). It not only saves text of your history, it also saves thumbnails of each page you ve visited. There are many awesome keyboard shortcuts for Chrome. This includes shortcuts for everything from opening a new tab, to opening a file on your computer from within Chrome. Needless to say, Chrome is certainly worth downloading. I think that it will be most difficult to convince FireFox users to switch, because they are used to the Plugins and Extensions. Just download Chrome and try it. Go to websites you normally do, and see how much faster they load for you. That will make the decision for you. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed In a few short hours from the time this was recorded, we all had our hands on Google Chrome. I feel this is a game changer in the way the World Wide Web works. I made up a list of five reasons that Chrome will soon become your default browser. You know Google, from Docs to AdSense to Earth. Google is here, and it s a strong presence on the Web. Let s look at the reasons I came up with: Google is focused on user experience. The experience is having a browser that does what you want it to do browse the Web. Many developers don t even think about that. I m sure you have Google in your browser already, whether it s a toolbar or your home page. Google has already shown us how they are focused on the users YOU. Read the comic book documentation. It outlines for you why it s pinpointing user experience, and what that means for you. It s open source. You can take the code if you wanted to, and build your own browser. Take it and make it your own. The fact that it is open source is very telling. Google knows it is not in their best interest to lock the code away in proprietary measures. Chrome is open source because they are trying to make the Web better for everyone. Speed. Google has based Chrome on WebKit, which is optimized for speed. Google s also developed a JavaScript engine to further enhance your browsing speed experience. You know how sometimes your entire browser will freeze occasionally, because of one site? With Chrome, that doesn t happen, due to the way the JavaScript runs. Each tab is run as a separate process, instead of the browser as a whole. It will be cross platform soon. It is being released for Windows first, but will be available for OS X and Linux soon. Security. This is a big one. Google thought about the security model, all the way down to stop any kind of Phishing attacks within the browser. It s constantly going to be updated with the latest Phishing information. Google Chrome also helps you to only log onto secure SSL connections whenever possible, and will warn you if the site you re connected to is not secure. Those are the five reasons I feel you need to pay attention to Google Chrome. Even if you think you aren t ready to switch your browser, why not give it a try? You never know what you re missing until you check it out. Day Job Killer Presents... The Google Assassin. Seo Elite: New Seo Software! Rocket Spanish! *New* Higher Payout!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Yes, I remember Netscape, and I never liked it. I also remember when Safari was made. Fast forward to today and we now have Google Chrome. This is going to be Google s Web browser offering to the World. In Google Chrome, you can get anywhere on the Web with one box. The address bar that sits at the top of the normal Google Chrome window simplifies your Internet experience by doubling as a search box. You can also use it to bookmark websites and stay aware about the security of a website. As of the time of this recording on September 2nd, 2008, it hasn t been officially released. Google had released documentation earlier in the day today, and people were taken aback, wondering if it was real. Google posted a comic book type of explanation about Chrome. If every read me file would be done in this fashion, people would actually read them. I read the entire thing! The main drawback so far is that it s only available for Windows at this point, and not OS X or Linux. Google Chrome is based on WebKit. Why is that important? Not only do pages look good, but they load fast. Google has gone in and optimized the way pages run, and load, and are managed. You know how you may have a few browser windows open, and one of them freezes causing your whole browser to crash or freeze? Google has taken care of that problem with Chrome. You re going to appreciate what Google has done, and why this will be a much better Web browser for you. If what they claim in the promotional information is remotely true, this is a complete reinvention of the Web browser as we know it. You ll find out what forethought went into how the security model worked, how the page management and rendering worked, and how all a Web browser can handle all the new technologies there are. Google has potentially moved the entire industry forward by releasing Google Chrome. My only hope and wish is that the User Interface is not a Google UI. As far as the Web is concerned, they ve done a great job. However, they have fallen short with the UI in their applications. I have yet to try it myself, as I use OS X. However, I will be having Ponzi run this on her Windows machine, and get her feedback on it. Ponzi is very picky about things like her browser, so she ll be brutally honest good or bad. What are your thoughts? Are you using Google Chrome yet? If so, what do you think so far? If you re not what are you waiting for?! Jason Profit Moffatts Niche Browser.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Yep, this is a LEGO Star Destroyer space craft I just finished building. Isn t it just gorgeous? Datalore gave me this kit as a gift when he visited the US recently for the Gnomedex conference. I was super excited, because I would likely never have bought it for myself. I ve never even truly had a LEGO kit before. I had some LEGO blocks, sure. But I was such a deprived child. I had a Star Destroyer, but it wasn t something I built myself. Build the most awesome ship in the Star Wars universe! The Imperial Star Destroyer is the massively huge, incredibly powerful heart of the Emperor s fleet. Manned by the top crew in the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer was heavily armored and bristling with turbolasers and tractor beam projectors. One Star Destroyer alone was enough to strike fear into an entire star system! Now you can add the Imperial Navy s best-known and most powerful ship to your LEGO Star Wars collection! Measuring an impressive 37” by 23”, this model dwarfs any LEGO Star Wars ship ever produced. This beautifully designed and one-of-a-kind collector s item comes with a special display stand and collectors card. Also includes an exclusive Rebel Blockade Runner Mini-Model, so you can recreate the opening scenes of Star Wars IV: A New Hope! So I ve had the kit for about two weeks now, and it was just sitting in my office. I ve been busy, you know! I was feeling stressed out last night, so I grabbed the box and started building. I worked for hours, until I couldn t see straight anymore. I slept for awhile then I was up and at it again. Building this was addictive to me, and almost an obsession to finish it. I m very happy with what I created. It s insanely cool. I didn t have LEGO Star Wars growing up, because they didn t even have them. You re never too old for LEGO bricks, nor too old for Star Wars. Not only did I have fun doing this, it was also a great stress reliever. I think I ll end up putting it up on top of my hutch, with the back facing out. I mean, really. Isn t that just a gorgeous rear end on this ship?! The other reason I bring this up, is that building LEGO kits can honestly be a bonding experience. It s something good for a parent to do with a child, or even a grandparent with a grandchild. The sense of accomplishment I have right now is just huge. That is something you can share with a child, once you ve had a great time building it. Spending the time working on a craft project like this can also pave the way to opening conversations you might not otherwise have had. Why grow up?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I ve talked about Desktoptopia before. It runs in the background, and downloads different backgrounds to your desktop. I usually always have it running. Now remember, a wallpaper is not a screensaver. I ve found a neat website, though, for creating your own wallpapers. Striped Backgrounds is a free service that allows you to create your own striped backgrounds. Striped Backgrounds is insanely easy and fun to use. Use the Randomize! button to have the site choose colors for you. Or, click on the color picker button, and choose your own. You decide what color your stripes should be, and in what order. When you re happy with what you ve created, just choose your screen resolution, and click the Download button. The picture will open in a new window or tab full-size, and you will then just save it to your computer. Poof! You now have your own customized, striped background. The nice thing is that they also have an iPhone section. Create striped backgrounds for your iPhone with ease. There are a couple of Google ads on there, but they re unobtrusive. They don t bother me at all. This site is easy, free and functional. Be sure to check it out, and then show me your cool new background. The Affluent Desktop Currency Trader. DesktopMaster 2.0.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed You gotta fight for your right to party! I ve just never been a partier. I mainly socialize on the Internet. I don t go out a lot, nor do I host parties of my own. There are times when I do have to venture outside to meet with people. When I do, I usually use an online invitation service. For Gnomedex, we used Event Bright. It s a great event planner when you have registration money to take in. It also has a free service. Like many of you, I ve also used other services in the past, such as Upcoming, MeetUp and of course Evite. A friend passed me some information the other day, though, about a different online invitation service that he thought I d want to check out. Anyvite is so much simpler to use, when all you need to do is create an invitation. Event creation should be simple, easy, and produce a quality result. We built Anyvite because we were tired of spending a long time creating mediocre, advertisement-filled invitations, which could only be viewed on your computer. Anyvite is the next generation in event creation. It leverages today s technologies (mobile, IM, SMS) and the idea that less is more, to enable people to quickly and easily invite their friends to events. Even after the outing, we ll keep the memories alive by giving you a place to share your pictures, videos, and comments from the event with everyone else who was there with you. Anyvite really is simple. You don t have to register for anything. Give your event a name, date, time and location. Then choose who you want to invite, and send them their invitation. That s all there is to it. When all you want is to jump in and get it done, Anyvite is the service for you. I love the simplicity, and the speed/ease of creation. Kudos to the creators.

August 31, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I m originally from the great state of Iowa. Some nice folks in Kansas asked me to present their Keynote speech at their welcome back orientation. At some point during the live presentation, the video feed died. So, I re-recorded this video. I have to thank the people at Southwestern College for giving me the opportunity to share the Do s and Dont s of Social Networking. When I began college in 1991, there really was no Internet. It was the next year that I first got online. At that point, you couldn t do anything other than read and write text. Yeah, you could upload graphics, but no one could really see them. We ve come a long way, to the era of Social Networking sites. So without further ado, I wanted to delve into my Top Ten List. Whatever you do online, it goes onto your permanent record. You may think in a moment of frivolity that you should share a photo or video. But if you put it on the Internet, assume it will be there forever. Trust me, once it s there, it s there to stay. Always be mindful of your privacy. It may be cool to share where exactly you re at. But anything you share can, and will, get picked up. Be careful about what you share. You don t have to share everything. Be cognizant about how many details you share. Don t trust people implicitly. You really have no way to find out if the person on the other side of the screen is being truthful about who and what they are. It s a sad fact that people aren t always who they say they are. Own what you do. Whatever you happen to be sharing and doing just own it. Do what you want to do, but be careful about what you do. If it s not yours to share, then don t. If you want to share someone else s material or content, make sure you have permission. Engage. This would be in relation to leaving comments on articles, MySpace or Facebook profiles, or a blog. You don t want to be stupid online. Don t leave insipid comments. Just because it s online , doesn t mean it s not serious. Be respectful. Be respectable. Be respected. If you handle yourself with professionalism, you ll be perceived as a very mature individual. Be Yourself. Don t pretend to be something or someone you are not. Be you, at all times. Watch out for flame wars. This is something that happens when you get into heated discussions. Don t resort to namecalling, or getting personal with what you re saying. You ll come across as immature and even rude. That takes you right back to my #1 tip about things following you forever. Learn how to communicate before doing it. How do you want others to perceive you? Do you want to sound confidant, mature and professional? Using proper language skills will go a long way towards achieving this goal. Your future friends, employers and colleagues are watching. I ve said it twice now, but I cannot stress it enough: What you put online now will follow you throughout your life. Things like Google Cache will make sure of it. Before you post that rant on your blog full of cursing and angst ask yourself if that is something you want your children or future spouse to read. Would a prospective employer be turned off by what you ve said? So we ve basically circled right back to where we started. Whatever you do, it s going to be there. Always be careful when you put things out there online. And of course, remember that you don t know who is watching. To end this talk, I want to say I m sorry to Tony. Well, or maybe not. Either I managed to obliterate his chance of ever getting a date again, or I just made him hugely popular. I sincerely hope that it s the popularity side.

August 31, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I ve had the opportunity to test a variety of GPS devices over the years. They ve always been just ok in terms of usability. My favorite one is the one right on the iPhone. What s missing is the ability to track where you ve been, or share with your family where you re going. I found out about a free application that works on the iPhone, and several other devices. InstaMapper allows you to track a person or vehicle online in real time using a GPS-enabled cell phone. To use InstaMapper, you create a free account. Registration takes only a minute or two. All we ask for is a username, password, and a valid email address. Next, you install a small application on your GPS-enabled phone. When you run the application, it periodically sends your GPS coordinates to InstaMapper servers over the cellular data network. Login to your account from any computer and you will see the location of your phone, as well as historical data, on an interactive map. You can also export location data in several formats and access it programmatically via an API. If you want to share your location with friends and family, we allow you to embed a map with your location on a web page, blog, or your Facebook profile. InstaMapper makes it very easy and quick to share your location with family members or friends. It comes in handy if you re taking a trip, and want to let others track your progress. It can be used for fun facts or even for personal safety reasons. It s completely free, and simple to use. The only caveat I have is that it would be entirely too easy to give out wayyyy too much information online. It s one thing for you to share your home address or location with a close friend or family member. However, you don t want that put up on a blog for the whole World to see. InstaMapper gets a big thumbs up from me. I just warn you be careful with your information, what you share, and with whom. Evidence Smart #1 Privacy Software. One Click Privacy.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I am still enjoying my iPhone, despite the fact that version 2.0 of the operating system has been anything but great. I ve experienced a great degree of consternation over this device that seems to lose its power within hours. I know I could turn things off like the Bluetooth, but then what s the point of having it? I ve tried several different external batteries, and none of them have really won me over. So, I decided to try out the Mophie Juice Pack. It comes in several different colors, and has models available for all varieties of iPods and iPhones. The All-New mophie ‘Juice Pack 3G’ is designed to more than double the time you can Rock, Talk, Surf and Send with your iPhone 3G. This is the first Apple certified ”Works With iPhone” attached battery in the world! The Juice Pack is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery in the form of a non-slip, soft grip case. It extends the time that you can use your iPhone 3G in these ways (additional hours): Standby Time – Up to 350 hours Talk Time – Up to 6 hours on 3G | Up to 12 hours on 2G Internet Use – Up to 6 hours on 3G | Up to 7 hours on Wi-Fi Audio Playback – Up to 28 hours Video Playback – Up to 8 hours When I m out and about, I need something with me to charge my iPhone. I held out a great degree of hope for the Juice Pack. You simply slide your iPhone into the little Sled, and you ve doubled the battery life for your iPhone. It doesn t add too much bulk, even though it doubles the thickness. I like the sled, because it s lightweight and doesn t have the propensity for letting the iPhone dislodge accidentally. When the iPhone is sitting in the Mophie, the back is protected. You can slide it into your pocket with no problems. The only issue I really have is that in order to use it, I have to get rid of my protective InCase. I am thinking it s worth it to double my battery life, and keeping the iPhone protected at least somewhat. For $99.00, I think you ll be quite happy with it. New Products Available!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I recently bought an iMac, to keep programs running on it that I don t necessarily want going all the time on my main machine. I have it set up on one corner of my desk. However, something about the monitor setup just wasn t right . I had to find some kind of stand that would work perfectly with the iMac, and my office decor. I found the exactly the right thing, after just a bit of searching. The LowKey Stand was designed specifically with a Mac in mind. The Apple Slim keyboard fits neatly underneath it, and it s the perfect width for my iMac. This stand is designed specifically for Apple slim keyboard s fans. Not only this beautiful stand provides an ergonomical view of your iMac or Apple Display, it helps organizing your desktop at the end of the day like never before. The perfect height of the stand provides a home for your keyboard, nothing will ever seem to be out of place on your desk any more. The LowKey Stand is constructed of 0.1085 thick steel, powder-coated in aluminum color matching that of the iMac or Apple Display. This stand spreads out the entire length of the slim keyboard and 9” deep, creating a sturdy structure, which can support any size of Apple Display or iMac. No more reaching behind your iMac or Apple Display, Macessity s 4-port front access USB 2.0 hub provides an easy hook up for your favorite toys or gadgets. This hub is self-powered, and elegantly integrated to the LowKey Stand, giving it a contemporary touch. Features include: Slim keyboard s best accessory. Sturdy yet elegant and contemporary design. Support up to 35 pounds. Perfect for any size of iMac, or Apple Display. Include a must have front access 4-port USB2.0 hub. Compact power adapter that won t take up more than 1 precious outlet. Powder coated in aluminum color to match iMac and Apple Display. The coolest thing is the USB port. It gives you those four extra USB ports, yes. You can connect it via USB or AC Adapter, which is great if you don t want to give up one of your machine s USB ports. It s nice to not only keep things organized, but also to keep things cleaner. I can slide the keyboard into the little slot with ease when I m not using it. Also, the stand lets me easily pivot the machine itself if I need to. Anything I can get to make my life easier and more organized makes me happy. Just call me Felix. Market-Millions - Trade For A Living. Win-Spy Monitoring Software.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I had a Targus laptop cooler that was working ok, but I just didn t like the look of it. It was encased in cheap plastic. So, I did some research and found what I feel will be the perfect laptop cooler for me. The best part is that several people have recommended this one lately. It s a Zalman ZM NC1000 Notebook Cooler. The Zalman NC1000-B Notebook Cooler is an aerodynamically designed notebook cooler with minimized noise and enhanced user convenience. The Rubber Grip Strip prevents the notebook from sliding. Ergonomically designed to minimize user fatigue. 679 high capacity vent holes evenly distribute the flow of cold air to cool the entire notebook. Optimized ventilation structure and aerodynamic design provide excellent performance even during low noise level operation. Cools the notebook allowing its internal fan to operate quietly at low RPM, making it ideal for quiet environments such as libraries and offices. Powered by the notebook s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. It s aluminum instead of plastic. I like that, and the sleek design. It s also super quiet, which is great. Unboxing it was fun, as usual. While I was pulling it out of the box, I launched some CPU-intensive applications on the Macbook, to get the temperature up a little. It s hard to believe how thin this thing is. It s powered by USB, which is very cool. I have too many things plugged into the wall as it is. As I set the Macbook on it, I immediately noticed that the angle is perfect, as well as the height. Rock on! The little rubber grips on the bottom make an awesome sound on the desk as I move it around. How much fun is that for an added bonus? Most importantly, it started cooling the Macbook immediately. I noticed a difference within two minutes, which is fantastic. The look is sleek and clean, which you all know I prefer. So if you re in the market for a new laptop cooler, you should definitely take a look at this one. EBook Starter - Create Your Own Ebooks! The Full-Year NoteBook(R) System. Ship Shape Books.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed The BlueAnt Z9I headset is very cool. It s not just Bluetooth, it charges by USB. It s a proprietary connector, but it comes with the cable. The nice thing is that you can pair this one headset with up to five devices. You can use it anywhere you can well, pair it. To begin with, the BlueAnt is diminutive at 1.61″ x .68″ x .44″ and weighs a mere .38 oz. Once you choose between the two ear buds, a small or large, and adjust the ear hook to your taste, you won’t even know it’s on. The ear bud rests in your ear, similar to in-ear headphones, but don’t go as far in. The ear hook holds it in place nicely. The ear buds screw in and out and are easy to remove. The ear hook is fully adjustable. You can push it in to make it tighter around your ear, and it also swivels so you can adjust the angle the headset rests at. The Z9i features BlueAnt’s Digital Signal Processing solution - Voice Isolation Technology, which is supposed to provide outstanding noise suppression, echo cancellation and wind noise reduction. It also offers the Voice Isolation Max feature, which is like putting it into turbo noise isolation mode. By default the Standard Voice Isolation mode is working. If you find the need to kick it up a bit, you press the MFB button for 1 second while on a call, and you will hear a voice telling you that you have activated Voice Isolation Max. Every review I have come across claims that this headset is almost better than listening directly to your phone or other device. The quality is just absolutely superior. It s extremely comfortable, and fits really nicely. The features include: Revolutionary noise suppression, echo cancellation and wind noise reduction Switch between 2 ‘Voice Isolation’ modes - standard max Multipoint connection technology Wind Noise Reduction Multiple ear buds rubber, ergonomic ear hooks Pairs with 5 devices Usually, I get annoyed by Bluetooth headsets, and take them off. Are you one of those people who live with theirs attached to their head? If so, you definitely want to try this out. It s honestly that good.

What Do You Do to Extend iPhone Battery Life?What Do You Do to Extend iPhone Battery Life?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
August 29, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed As I quickly came to discover, the iPhone 3G has relatively lackluster battery life. It has been said that of all the 3G phones out there, it does well. That doesn t help me much at the end of the day. Some people tell me to turn off WiFi, but then what is the purpose for having upgraded at all? I also have run into iPhone issues that have nothing to do with the battery life such as the stability of the new operating system. Every third party App I try to launch, it will crash. Even if I try to launch the iPhone remote crash. But, back to the battery life. It s something you re going to have to deal with. There are a variety of external battery packs available, thankfully. The Richard|Solo Backup Battery is one that has been recommended by many different people. What unique about it, is that you can plug it into your iPhone, and then into a USB port on your computer. You can then charge your iPhone at the same time as the battery pack. Therefore, if you charge this overnight, you ll wake up to a fully charged iPhone and a fully charged backup battery. One thing about this battery is that it s small but powerful. In fact, it s the most powerful battery of its size available. Keep it in your pocket, purse, or briefcase, and snap it on to keep going all day — and night! You can charge while simultaneously using your iPhone. You can charge both the battery and the iPhone together. There s nothing quite like it. There are other batteries, but they re disposable AA s, or they re big, or have lots of cables, or are made of cheaper plastic that scratches easily. Or they are not certified, or use gray market parts, or may even damage your iPhone. Ours is the only one that is a high-quality aluminum case, which is light, but extremely tough and virtually scratch-proof. One of the best features of this product is that at night, you snap the battery and iPhone together, and charge them both with the included charger. You ll wake up in the morning with both fully charged. So you are getting a wall / USB charger for free. When you travel, you don t need the Apple charger. Just take this one. This is a great accessory to keep with you all the time. The polymerized lithium-ion battery can be recharged over and over again for several years and will not develop memory . There are three color LED lights to show you the status of the charge. However, please remember to charge it completely for the first two nights to make sure the lithium-ion battery gets to full capacity! The only drawback for me is that it doesn t snap in tightly. I ve lost it three different times now. This stinks, because there really are no alternatives. Hopefully, this is something that can be addressed. My suggestion for now is to save your money and wait for something better. It does work as advertised. The problem is is that it doesn t take any effort to pull it out. It will just fall right off, and that can cause you some headaches. New Products Available! Affiliates Go To: www.SatelliteSoft.com. Happy Apple IPhone, Brand New For March 2008.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Believe it or not, this mStation 2.1 Stereo Tower was made for an iPod. Yes, it s big. But man oh man does it ever work! The base is a-pumpin when the music is a-thumpin . Er something like that. There s also a USB port so you can charge and/or Sync your iPod from it if you want. It won t work with the iPhone, it wasn t made for that. You can connect other devices to it, as well. I hooked up the Korg Kaossilator to it. The gray and black aluminum mStation 2.1 Stereo Tower is almost all metal, with thick plastic mounting brackets for the two speakers. The separately packed tower speakers connect to the system with an embedded RCA-style connector that fits into a female socket. You secure them by twisting them into place using three guide screws. With a small twist, the speakers are steadily in place. The modern floor-standing design may not appeal to some, but I appreciate the minimalist approach to its chassis. The instruction manual makes putting the system together relatively easy. A power cable hooks to the bottom of the left leg where a master power switch sits. The unit has a soft on and off switch on the top of the center pylon. The soft switch sits beside the usual controls for volume, play, pause, and track skipping. A USB sync cable and an eighth-inch connector cable are also included. The 42-inch Stereo Tower comes with six dock adaptors for different size iPods. This system will cost you a bit over $200 on Amazon, which is a bit of a savings from the regular Website price. The quality is amazing, definitely. You won t be disappointed.

Why Is Popping Bubble Wrap so Addictive?Why Is Popping Bubble Wrap so Addictive?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
August 28, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Yes, I m popping bubble wrap. It s so addictive, I could sit here doing it all day long. Of course, since this is electronic bubble wrap, I can do it all day long! It may not be as fun as real bubble wrap, but it is fun. It s also a great stress reliever. The Electronic Bubble Wrap Key Chain is, of course, available from our friends at ThinkGeek. One of the single greatest gifts (and curses) to anyone who is a little anal retentive is bubble wrap. Sure it s good for protecting packages, but the real joy is popping each and every bubble. You can t let even one survive or your mission as bubble popper has failed. But what happens when you desire the joy of popping bubble wrap but don t have the time to invest in popping a full 60 roll? Welcome to the future, my friends; electronic bubble wrap is here. Each keychain device has 8 rubbery little bubble buttons. They have a pretty close tactile feel to actual bubble wrap. Guess what happens when you push one? That s right, you hear a little pop. In a nutshell, that is the simple beauty of the electronic bubble wrap keychain. But there is one bonus, and here s where the OCD can kick in a little. Every 100th pop is not a pop at all, but a silly sound: a boing, a bark, a rude noise, etc. And since you can easily pop (pun intended) the keychain in your pocket, you ll always have bubble wrap when you need it most (you know, like when your boss starts talking). The tactile feedback is as realistic as it comes. The buttons are soft, pushed into a harder plastic case. It s a great way to entertain yourself for a few minutes or heck, even a few hours if you want. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?
