Neat little Recorder/MP3 Player

Thanks to Kathy Jacobs with Vitamin CH for this tip. This device (which comes in other colors than pink) does around 5-6 hours recording, plays MP3’s, has an FM tuner, and has an easy-to-use user interface. Only $70 at Fry’s and weighs hardly anything. I thought it was neat.

CES 2008: Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 Booth

The Origami Experience 2.0 looked neat. The first version of it was only relatively helpful since it left much to be desired as far as usability, but it looks like MS took more into account such as actual usage.  There’s a NOW screen that grabs all the things it thinks are new and interesting [...]

A note about the timing of posts

I have CES posts that I wasn’t able to get out during CES. Tuesday night I started a cough and then it turned into a nasty cold Wednesday and Thursday (and Friday and today still). This means for you that while I did write posts, I didn’t have the energy to search out an [...]

CES 2008: Samsung’s Q1 Ultra / Ultra Premium

Samsung had quite the showing at CES, with a giant section and a good chunk of it showing off their many variations of the Q1 Ultra/Ultra Premium. I think “Ultra Premium” is going a little overboard on the naming, but I’ll put that aside for now. After playing with this in person, [...]
