Flash Phone

If you have a Skype account and always on the go this phone is for you. It's a USB phone with an ear piece and mic all in one. You plug in the USB device to a computer that accesses the internet and use the Skype phone to make free call any where you go. A must have item for the mobile user.

What is Skype well it's VOIP over the internet for free.

Linksys New Router Setup

Linksys has made router setup simple. It's now a one button setup called Secure Easy Setup technology. You add security to your wireless networks with a push of a button. There is no need to know and master the WPA and SSID commands. Eventually setting up a wireless network connection will be a thing of the past.


SnagIt

A few years ago a friend gave me a demo version of snagit and I was amazed how well and easily the product worked but I didn't really know what uses it could bring me, so I just forgot about it.
Later on while doing some work for a client. I noticed that my current client took a long time to print screen report balances for their customers. It bothered me that there had to be something easier to do that task faster and that's when the product SnagIt came to mind. Why use the Ctrl & Print Screen button when one utility can do it all, easily.
I did some research on SnagIt by using a demo version. And it did what I expected it to do with additional features. The setup is fairly easy and you can either print either video, text and images. They way I see it, why just print a whole document full of gibberish when you can just narrow down what needs to be printed. It's so user friendly that anyone can master it in a few minutes. SnagIt satisfied my clients needs and I am glad to recommend a good utility - Try it.

Yahoo is currently in beta version of a RSS blog feed somewhat similar to blogger.com. The site seems impressive but you must get an invitation to be able to use the Yahoo 360.
If you have a yahoo account and want me to send you an invitation.
Just ask.


Lost your Windows CD Key

This is a great site to help you retrieve your CD Key. It's not a hack. It just gets your CD key from your current computer so that you can store the CD Key in a safe place. Why buy another CD Key when you already own the current copy.
Software vendors will love you to loose your CD Key so they can sell you another copy of the current software you already own.
I wish they had this utility for all of my softwares.

Create Your Own Google Maps

I like this site because you can customize your map to display whatever you want to display. You can post web addresses, locations, or just leave messages.

Google School Boundary Map

This article is very interesting how someone developed a school boundary map so that kids and parents know where the bus stop is, school crossing, school location and bike walks. It can even show traffic safety routes around the school so people could be aware of. I hope that more parents and teachers will be involve in doing this at other locations.


How To Become an Astronaut

I must admit this is very interesting because it shows hands on experience on going to space. I must admire those lucky chosen ones to take risk like that.
I hope she does become an astronaut.

Net Ready Tv's

On the September 2005 issue of Popular Science I discovered that Televisions are taking a future step by being net ready.
What this means is that hopefully more manufactures will make television with a network card so that we can view programming, music,DVD's, pictures, and anything else you have on your computer via your television set. If this takes off be ready to see more television and computer components integrated together.


Metro WIFI

If your traveling and want to know the nearest Wifi area in the City that you'll be visiting this is a good site to use. The site will email you a list of Wifi Spots.


AirScanner Software

Have a Pocket PC and looking for an AntiVirus Software for your portable device.

Try this Airscanner Software
If you sign up with them they will eventually give you the software for fee.


Cloudmark Anti Fraud Toolbar

A while back I suggest the Netcraft toolbar to spot phishing sites on the web.
Now another company developed another anti fraud toolbar. It's still in beta version but its worth to watch and see other companies getting serious about phishing sites.


Uniden Cordless Bluetooth Phone



It's the first phone that offers the capability to link with your home phone and your cellular phone together.
In the next few years you will see more of these bluetooh phones being made by other carriers. I have long awaited this and I am hoping soon that they incorporate Voice over IP phones together as well.
Eventually you will only need one phone that will portable where ever you go.
Thank you Uniden for making my dreams come true.

Apple iTunes

If you miss those mp3 files that you've recently stopped downloading from the internet because of the recent lawsuits by the RIAA.
Your best bet is to join Apple iTunes. It's legal and its your best way to still have music files on your personal computer. If it wasn't for Apple we would still be downloading illegal music and be afraid of getting sued by the RIAA.
Right now its a better alternative instead of getting sued. The choice is yours.

Staple Weekly Specials

I enjoy checking out the weekly specials from staples because you never really know what you can get for a good price.
My key goals are to wait for the weekly specials and If I see something that interests me I either purchase it or wait another time to buy one of those must have items from Staples.
