750 Words

750words is basically an online site to journal on. I'm not one to journal normally but the cool stats page after everyday and cumulative stats over time make me like it. The purpose of the site isn't just to journal though. It is to get your mind flowing. Write whatever you want. Don't care about reorganizing it or anything. You can use Facebook, Google or Yahoo to log in. Don't worry, everything is kept private by default. So, nothing is shared unless you share it.

I found this on Lifehacker. The data afterwards like I said before is my favorite part. All the graphs and charts are cool to read about pages of stuff you just wrote. If you click on my picture to the left you can go to a larger view of it. I'm not sure why my entry was rated PG-13. I went back and read it again but couldn't find anything like sexual content, violence and cursing like the rating says. Also way underneath which I didn't screenshot there is a word cloud which is also neat.. And as you write more stuff will come out. It is a visual form of thinking. Hopefully I will continue doing it and it will help get me around some thoughts I never explore and just forget. You also get points for doing certain things and keeping up with it. Go there and check out the site, read the Lifehacker post and read his FAQ.

Sex Sells, Sex Tells.


I read an article a few weeks or months back that talked about products and companies that use sex to sell their items when it has nothing to do with the product itself. Recently a commercial for a Visa card has caught my attention.

Yahoo Answers fail answer of the day


I was looking at Yahoo Answers like any self-respecting me would do. I haven't been on there in a long time. Since then I have acquired an Xbox 360 in a game of chance. I thought I would wander over to the Xbox related questions and see who I could help.

Getting Excited for Android and Nexus 1


After I was disappointed with the iPad due to extremely high expectations I began looking forward to my next phone. I wasn't sure what I wanted next. I would read a couple good things about one phone and a couple good ones about another, but I could never make a decision until a couple of days ago. I don't know why my epiphany was so late but I am glad I had it.

The Ban Hammer Striketh

All of us have been a part of some sort of online community; whether it be facebook, a blog, or a full-fledged forum. What we're going to discuss now is something that has been an intergral part of these communities for millenia (yes, that long): being banned.

Haier’s Idea Wall


Walking into Haier's booth we found the idea wall which we have previously seen on Gizmodo the night before. They asked people to write down their ideas (I assumed of technology) for the future. Here are some of my favorite things that were there.

Exclusive Glow in the Dark Woot Monkeys


CES is a place for companies to announce new products that are in development, everyone knows this. However, what everyone doesn't know is that every so often information is unintentionally leaked and revealed to the masses. This, my dear friends, is one of those cases.

We Killed Our Feet For You*

[*By you I mean ourselves]
To follow up on an earlier post, when I could only show you a picture of this subwoofer water tank, here is a video that I was able to upload once I got a real internet connection.

We walked around a lot in CES the first 2 days. We also went to a lot of places on the strip when CES was over for the day.

Why we come

Walking in to the central hall at CES I was reminded of why we come. Even with all the economic unrest, the electronics industry descends upon Las Vegas to showcase booths so extravagant Clark Griswold would be impressed.
