Adding more fuel to the fire about a Verizon iPhone, the US wireless carrier has just made the announcement today that it will start selling the iPad. Mind you, this is not the iPad+3G, it is simply an iPad with WiFi. A strange choice, until we look at the facts.

You roll out of bed around 6 or 7 am, wash your face, brush your teeth, get dressed and grab a hearty breakfast. Normal routine, right? Then you are off to a great start to your day and you can only hope that everything else falls into place.

What can you do to save yourself some valuable time? What if you were able to update ALL of your social networking profiles and status’ with ONE simple email or text message? Ping.fm is the answer!

If you are not using Twitter you don’t know what you are missing! No, it’s not another dating site! If you intend to make noise in 2009 online with a business of any kind, you had better get on-board with social networking and micro-blogging. Why do you ask? Here’s a good example. Are you familiar with The Ellen Show hosted by Comedian Ellen DeGeneres? She had Sean “Diddy” Combs on her show on Monday, March 10th and he introduced her to Twitter.

As I embark on my journey into getting a new cell phone to match my ever-changing lifestyle, this video is so fitting! There are many more funny videos like this one at College Humor. It’s a good way to start the weekend as your sitting in traffic going 6 miles an hour.
I’m a bit of a tech junkie so whenever I see or hear of something new I like to blog it up! I wasn’t able to attend the 2009 CES this year but I’ve watched pretty much every video they have available on their web site to make sure I didn’t miss anything. After many hours of wows, oohs and ahhs, I narrowed down my list of Fab-5.
Samsung HDTV: The new Samsung LED HDTV’s get internet connectivity. Samsung will supply a wireless, WiFi dongle to attach to one of the television’s USB ports. Once connected, the 7000 Series and the 8000 Series will have their new INFOLINK feature built in. INFOLINK will provide an interactive, connected experience, with a focus on RSS-like access to feeds, as well as the ability to run standard widgets on the TV itself. The most predictable widgets will be available from an online gallery, including weather widgets and stock reporting widgets, but with third-party developer support, I’d expect to see widgets for Twitter, MySpace and plenty of other popular Web destinations as well. So this all means that I will be able to check the weather, my emails and update my status via Ping.fm all while still in bed – nice. I personally would connect a PC to the TV in addition to using the INFOLINK feature, but that’s just me…
If you’re like me, you appreciate a great tool that also looks good. If it’s not user friendly then I will probably look past it. I don’t like buying things just because it’s new or because everybody else has bought it either. It has to do what I need it to do when I need it done and not after completing the 7 steps of a lengthy install.
I have used Windows Operating systems since high school. As a Graphic Designer, the Mac OS is much more stable and does not get hampered down when running more than one massive program at a time like Photoshop and Final Cut. The only issue I have with the Mac OS is that the software out there that one might need to run is only available in PC format so for sake of productivity, I have to have a Mac AND a PC to get ALL the jobs done. I’m all about compromise up until the point where I start to get frustrated, then it’s all back to “what can this do for me that that can’t?” The solution to that is if you can’t beat either one, get them both! The only thing missing was all the bells and whistles in the Mac OS was absent in Windows XP Media Center even though Microsoft made a valiant effort they fell way short. So Vista was to be the Savior of all Windows OS’s… not so fast my friend!
For those of you that are new to this blog, I must warn you that every post will not be serious business. This post, for example, is about a web site I stumbled across during a extended browse of the internet the other day. This web site catalogs images of headset-wearing customer support representatives on corporate web sites! Read more →
