Moo! isn’t just what a cow says, it’s a nice little printing solution hooked into Flickr. For a limited time, they had an offer for Flickr pro members to receive 10 free MiniCards, which I quickly jumped on. Well, my MiniCards showed up yesterday and they’re kinda neat. They’re about the size of a stick… Read more »

New Mentos Flavors
I recently received a new shipment of Japanese Mentos from newly badged (no I don’t have any badges) Mentos Ambassador Roth. Within this shipment were a few new flavors I’ve never seen before and (as of this writing) never tasted before. Grape, Strawberry and Mint are available in the U.S., though these wrappers are brighter…. Read more »
Google Maps for Palm
Google has had a mobile version of its Google Maps out for a good while now. But for some reason, it wouldn’t work on a Palm device, or more specifically, the Treo 650, which is what I own. Well, today they released a Treo version of their mobile Google Maps, and it works great! I’m… Read more »
SimpleSeating.com
Since I’m currently in the process of planning a wedding, I’m constantly looking for for technology that will make that job easier. For instance, we’re using a Wiki (that I loving call our WedWiki) to keep track of wedding information (links to decorations, food, tux/dress, to-do lists, etc). Last month I stumbled across a nice… Read more »
Weird Al Videos
Check out this list of the top 10 Weird Al Yankovic videos of all time. I especially like his latest (#2 on the list) White and Nerdy… not that I can relate or anything. I’m a geek, not a nerd!
Mentos & Diet Coke Alternatives
We all know what happens when you put mentos into a 2-liter of Diet Coke. Check out what happens with other candy/beverage combinations.
Neuros OSD
Along the same topic as a few of my last posts, I ran across a really cool piece of hardware called the Neuros OSD. I guess if you wanted to compare it to something, it’s similar to Apple’s yet-to-be-released iTV box with one major difference… it’s totally open. The machine runs open source Linux-based firmware,… Read more »
Leave Amazon Unbox in the Box
To get the jump on Apple, Amazon released their movie download offereing (called Unbox) just days before Apple’s announcement last week. To kick off their launch they’re offering a free download ($1.99 instant rebate) for a TV show. I decided to give the new service a try (since the first one is free). I downloaded… Read more »
Flickr Geotagging in Google Earth
At long last, a Google Earth plug-in has been created to allow viewing of Geotagged Flickr photos in Google Earth again. A group called Metatoad Media has brought back the same functionality that used to be available when geobloggers.com was the only way to do this.
Viral Video Chart
Ever wondered what videos out on the Internets were the most viral? Well, wonder no more, just check out the Viral Video Chart based on the most talked about videos of YouTube, MySpace, and Google Video. How else would I have found out there is a NEW Numa Numa song?!?
Apple’s New Entertainment Offerings
It was bound to happen before the big holiday buying season. Yesterday at a special “It’s Showtime” event, Apple announced a collection of upgrades and new products related to the iPod and iTunes. iPod Video The specs were bumped on the standard iPod Video to include a brighter screen (60% brighter), longer battery life (from… Read more »
Mentos Ambassadors
After Dan’s question in my last Mentos post, I thought I’d take the opportunity to explain the low-down behind my Mentos Ambassadors. The short and sweet answer to, “What is a Mentos ambassador?” is they are people who bring me Mentos from other countries. The thing about Mentos is that they’re an international company and… Read more »
Google Image Labeler
OK, pretend you’re Google now. How do you go about getting unsuspecting users to do your bidding and label images for the Google Image Search? Make an addictive game out of it. This game sucked me in for longer than it should have. The basic idea is you’re paired up with some other unsuspecting Google… Read more »
New Mentos Stuff
It’s always exciting when one of my Mentos ambassadors brings me a new shipment. I just got a big one courtesy of Mentos Ambassador King who just got back from an extended trip in the far East. Included in her big bag of wonderful foreign Mentos were a few fun surprises. The first few pulled… Read more »
Geotagging Back in Flickr
It looks like geotagging is back in Flickr. This time it’s built right in vs. the older method that died off a little while back. With the new built-in geotagging, flickr has provided a handy drag and drop interface from the organizr section of your flickr account. You simply zoom to the place on the… Read more »
