Making you say

Water is a clear liquid at room temperature which you can drink. I like water. If you get it very cold, it turns into ice, and you can use ice to make regular liquid water cooler. If you raise the temperature of water enough, it will start to “boil,” which means it will bubble. Although [...]

I got a product for review from Japan about a week ago.  It’s called the Neurix, and it uses a skin sensor to pick up pre-motor impulses from your face.  The result is that you can simply think words — not even say them out loud — and have them typed on your computer.  This [...]

My favorite apps for listening to music on the iPhone or iPod Touch are iHeartRadio, Pandora and midomi, with an honorable mention for iClockRadio.  In a nutshell, iHeartRadio lets you listen to real radio stations from across the US, Pandora lets you “build” your own radio stations (commercial free!), midomi lets you find (and then buy) songs [...]

This is just one application from AmbiScience.  The way it works is that you select a “track” from a menu of 8, including choices like “Tesla at Twilight,”  ”Digeridoo Dreams,” “High Plains Japan” and “Joseph’s Dream.”  Then you touch the big button under the app’s name and select, if you like, either “Deep Sleep” or [...]

MacHeist has been around for a few years, so you might have already heard of it, but if you haven’t, you are missing out. It’s now the largest Mac online community (according to something I read somewhere), but the main thing about MacHeist is that you do these fun puzzle-solving missions or “heists,” for which [...]

I love my iPod Touch.  I got a new iMac through the Apple “Back to School” deal, which means I got a free iPod Touch with 8GB memory.  I love this iPod!  First of all, I converted all of my old Keynote presentations into iPod format from all my classes this term and bought a [...]

If you read the comments on my blog, you’ve seen some from Leony.  I’ve known her for more than five years by now, and she is definitely the best friend I’ve never met!  Leony and I get along great because we have a lot of interests in common, and one of these is photography.  I [...]

Even if you have never heard of a 419 advance fee scam, you have almost certainly been contacted by these scammers before.  The details vary, but the gist is that you are randomly being contacted by someone who needs your help in transferring a very large sum of money from their country into the US.

I bought one of those digital picture frames.  You know, the kind of frame that displays pictures you take with your digital camera…  I had been looking at these a long time, and had come close to buying one before, but this one had a feature that sold me on it. This digital frame has [...]
