Can't Stop Geeking

My friend is looking to get a replacement class ring from college.  I told him of this great orange county jewelry store that sells class rings. And since we graduated in the same class, he wants me to get one with him. I never got a class ring for college. Would any of you get one?

Well, the cat is officially out of the bag. Apple announced it’s latest gadget, the iPhone on steroids, the iPad. The only thing this thing doesn’t do is telephone stuff. You can surf the web, stream movies, etc., bascially everything thi iPhone does. You know what I want? I want a way to talk to someone in the next town, state or country and be able to see their faces while I do it. That to me would be breakthrough technology.

According to MSNBC.com, Apple is set to unveil its latest creation this month on the 27th, and speculation is running rampant.  What will it be?  A new version of the iPhone? a tablet computer?  Something we’ve never seen before?  What do you think.

A new year has started and the fun of predicting what the future holds is upon us.  The folks at inhabitat.com had some of their brightest minds offer some 2010 predictions. One editor, Sarah Rich, talks about how the invention of the digital tablet will affect the way we as a society consume media. If you read my previous post here, you’ll know what I think of these. I’m no great thinker, but I do hope Ms. Rich is off a little in her prediction on this one.

I love technology and any new gadgets fascinate me, but I worry about younger children. They are being brought up on technology so much that many don’t seem to know how to go outside and play. So, when I hear about stuff like this flexible tablet computer for children, I worry just a tiny bit. Kids are already getting computer education in school and most have traditional family computers in their home. Does this same child need a computer that goes in their backpack?

As we set to close 2009, many people are starting to look back at the previous decade for the great events.  We should technically be waiting one more year for the decade to be truly over, but I nitpick.  Anyway, I want to know from you is what was the greatest new gadget introduced? Is it the iPod, the iPhone, the Blackberry, DVR, Youtube?  Let me know what you think.

I saw this looking through cnet.com and immediately put it on my Christmas list for this year and next.

Not only can you load up to 32 GB of song files, it has a built in receiver for FM radio signals. Now, say what you will about including all your favorite songs, but sometimes listening to the radio is a pleasant diversion. It also supports Wi-Fi connectivity, so it can support live video streaming services from any number of sites. This truly could be the ultimate portable entertainment unit.

I’m thinking of gift ideas for my wife. She loves her Bluetooth device when she’s driving, but on sunny days, she can’t use it cause the sunglasses she wears don’t fit comfortably. Does any one know of a pair of women’s sunglasses that are deisgned to fir around a Bluetooth device, or better yet, have one built in?

Wow! Western digital has announced a 750 GB and a 1 TB hard drive that comes in at a whopping 2.5″ in size! It’s capable of a 3 MB transfer rate. This is by far a monster and alone in its class right now! It’s a worth upgrade for anyone who stores large files such as music or movies! Should be a pure winner this year to say the least!

As the shoe phone failed, the video watch wins! yes, an MP4 video watch that is also capable of playing MP3 files is a must have for any tech head. This is what inspector gadget technology is about. This is a viable product on today’s market and doesn’t require you to get your nose next to a stinky shoe to use it. This will meet the product needs of thousands of people and will be a sure win! This is the first generation triquarter and will be a great entry level watch if you aren’t ready for the fully functional phone watch.
