public service annoucement

today's the day california's "hands-free" law goes into effect. if you haven't already done so, you need to purchase a hands-free device to use if you use your cell phone in the car.

newegg has a great deal on a motorola model that's pretty nifty.

iSick

i seem to be in the minority when i say i don't want an iphone. and really, i don't want one, my blackberry is fine and dandy. plus, with all the hype that's been surrounding the item, i want it even less! i do have to say that their original teevee advert for it, aired during the oscars, was awesome, but that's just because i love movies.



that malls and apple stores have had to hire security guards to tame the crowds makes me roll my eyes. it's a phone, fercryingoutloud.

it's news that steve wozniak is waiting in line for an iphone when there was a potential TERROR PLOT unveiled today.

thus, iSick of hearing about the iPhone.

(lis, hope you were able to get one!)

best. download. EVER.

not words to throw around lightly, of that i'm sure.

this definitely fits into "top notch" category, as i've converted some episodes of "run's house" (my fave) for my trip to maui on friday. best of all, it's fast and user-friendly.

perhaps i'll save tonight's episodes of "entourage" and "the sopranos" until then. nah, who am i kidding, i'm too impatient to wait.

put it to good use. i know i did.

Netflix. "Net" "flix." Getting flix from the 'net.

Better yet, WATCHING flix on the 'net, as part of your subscription. I'm currently watching "Postcards from the Edge" in my unpreferred browser (it's only currently available for IE, meaning I've had to use IE for the second time since I got this new laptop, ick) but I'm looking I've found a Firefox hack to remedy this.

Granted, there are only about 1000 titles currently available, most of which I've not heard of ("Infant Massage: The Power of Touch," anyone?) and don't care to watch, there are a handful of titles that are in my queue. I have not yet encountered a delay, and the video quality is top-notch.

I may be doing another focus group for them next week (fingers crossed!) at which I'll praise them for this addition. No, I probably won't, but I'll be thinking it.

I love technology.
