So, you’ll be able to mount a plasma on your wall . . . with nothing but a power cord? Now we’re talking. Samsung plans on unveiling plasma televisions that are wirelessly connected to your components (DVD, cable box, TiVo, etc.). It uses the not-yet-ratified 802.11n (Wi-Fi) standard, but just the thought of it makes…
I’m not sure if I’ve ever really blogged on Paypal. I won’t go into it, but it’s a great service if you have clients who want to pay you online. I try to keep a small balance for odds and ends that I might need (i.e. Monoprice), but sometimes the sites that accept Paypal are…
So, I was checking my Google Analytics account when I figured I’d head to their mobile site (mobile.google.com) and see what’s new. Well, I saw that Google Maps for my phone (Symbian version) was out. I reinstalled it and fired it up to see something pretty remarkable. A wide blue circle was around my location…
Here’s a quick take on a cool little device. If you have a digital camera that uses an SD card (Canon SD line comes to mind), then here is a cool little device. It is a memory card (2 GB) that has built in Wi-Fi. When I first heard about this device a year or…

Well, I stumbled on to an old favorite. Pandora.com now has Genre channels. I just fired up the symphonic classical channel (yeah, I know) and it sounds great! If you haven’t tried Pandora, head to www.pandora.com and check it out. If you work while online, this is just too good to pass up. Here’s my…
If you’ve kept up with high definition television in the least, you’ve probably heard about Blue Ray and HD-DVD. These new formats are the “replacement” for your standard DVD player. While both of these options offer great picture and so on, I think it’s too little, too late for the format. Here’s why . .…
So, I was checking Reuters today . . . looks like the much rumored Google phone will become a reality next year. From skimming the article, I gathered that they’re going to make surfing on your phone as easy (or close) as surfing from your computer. I say, bring it on, Google. I just hope…
So, I’ve already mentioned my Nokia E61i phone. I still love it . . . I found a $20 data plan that will let me access Mobile Google Maps. Bottom line: If you have a Smart Phone and a data plan, get this application. Not just because it’s free, but because it is the most…
Wow, that’s a mouthful! There are two new games in town for music downloads. One is an indy type locale where you can find the up and comers . . . the other is a full on popular music freeby site . . . with a catch. Let’s start with Amie Street (www.amiestreet.com). It’s a…
