Can they get any smaller?

Welcome MobiBLU!



I can't believe this thing is real. I found it on slickdeals.net and it's being sold at Walmart for about $100. Just search for Mobiblu.

I very rarely shop at Walmart and I don't really ever encourage anyone to but...if you do I have got to see what one of these things looks like. It would be good to get some battery-life specs. I have been thinking of getting a shuffle just to kick around with or when I go Mountain biking. Solid state, relatively cheap, really small, light. If I only had some expendable income!

By the way, did anyone else notice how hairy that guys arms are? Kind of reminds me of that Chapelle skit about the home shopping network.


There's a new Woot in town.

While we are talking about deals...Check out snapgone.com. Most of you may have already seen the one-deal-a-day page WOOT, but it looks like there is a new kid on the block.

Slickdeals is another one that's pretty good. There is a little more satisfaction and time-killing potential with SD because you can go into the forums and look around at the deals that don't get posted on the main page.

Of the three I have only ever purchased anything from slickdeals. I got a Sandisk USB drive from Amazon. I am still waiting for the rebate, but I have been using the USB drive almost every day since I got it. It's great for this Java class that I was sitting in when I started this blog entry.

The iGuy

Mad props to my buddy KP for showing me the latest and greatest in iAccessories. I was the first one to show her the iPod purse, but she has proven that she has got her finger on the iPulse with this one.

At $35 it's a little steep, but it's pretty clever and the designers were bright enough to make the iGuy's legs swing out of the way when you want to dock him on your iStation.

Just a quick update for the 5 people who bother to read this thing.

Once again I am sitting in my Java class with nothing to do, so I am trying out my cool email blogging function.  It's pretty neat...I can just sit here and email my super-secret email address and send it directly to my blog for all of you to read.  
 
Well this is supposed to be a quick one so here it goes.
  • Podcasts are the bomb.  Some are really good, some of them are lame, but the idea is awesome.  If you have a Pod, jump on the boat.
  • Things are going well with the car wreck thing.  I don't have to pay a dime, I am getting a rental car today and my car should be done in about two weeks.
  • I just came back from an awesome vacation at the Outer Banks.  A bunch of us rented a house for a week and had lots and lots of fun.  We played with Kayaks, a HobieCat, a stunt kite, and all kinds of stuff.  We also ate so much BBQ'd meat that I am sure my cholesterol is through the roof.   I would post some pictures but I think I lost my camera.
  • I should have a cool new wheelset coming for my Mountain Bike.  I have waited a LONG time for these things and I think they will be done today. 
  • At some point I'll tell everyone about my latest success with writing a complaint letter to get a lame ass French company to actually do something.
Okay, back to class for me,
 
Peace out!
