Happy Birthday to Me


Apple - iPod nano - (PRODUCT) RED™
Two days ago, I saved Africa. What did you do?
"You make choices every day, from the clothes you wear to the music you play. Now making a choice means making a difference. In 4GB and 8GB models1, the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED holds up to 2,000 songs, 25,000 photos2, and a little hope. That’s because $10 from every iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sold goes directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Which means your iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sounds good and does good at the same time."
My choice made a difference, bitches!

It's a bike, tool

Hex
For my friends that mountain bike (hopefully including me this next summer). For four bucks, you can't go wrong.

National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone
"The National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Phone is the ideal solution for your international communication needs. Whether you are a frequent business traveler or are a tourist seeking a reliable yet affordable cell phone solution, the National Geographic™ Talk Abroad Travel Phone has you covered in over 100 countries. Since this is a prepaid solution, there are no contracts to sign or monthly bills – ever! Best of all, there is absolutely no cost to receive a call in 60 popular destinations. Outgoing calls are affordable as well."

The cons are: it's an old monochrome candybar nokia, the outgoing rate is something like 90 cents a minute, and a UK phone number. But if you travel a lot (which I dream of doing after schoolio), this might be the ticket. Especially if you can slip the sim card in your unlocked iPhone.

This is more like it.

Canon PowerShot TX1
720p video at 30 fps, 7.1 MP stills, SD, SDHC, Multimedia and MMCplus cards.
$500. This is what I've been waiting for.

Places I've Worked


A Los Angeles 'Hotel' for Internet Carriers
"If the Internet is a superhighway, One Wilshire is a really popular roadside hotel. It's a 30-story building, and once exclusively housed law offices. CRG West manages the property, and they're the tech real estate branch of the Carlyle Group. David Dunn of CRG West says 23 of the building's floors are now designed to house not people, but some of the most important communications infrastructure in the country."

This is possibly one of the most connected buildings in the world. The amount of fiber on these floors is freakin' nuts.

GelaSkins
These are skins for all the different iPods. this company uses the 3M vinyl used for the invisible car bras, so your iPod should be able to take a hit from a bee going 65 mph. I would seriously put this stuff on my wall if they made the art in a large format. Also, it's only $14.95 for all the art-whorey goodness.

Pre-Popping Question Qeustions.

Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying
There's some good ones here. Like:
1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?
(Translation: You don't want kids either, right?)

4) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?
(Translation: If you go crazy/fat, we're done.)

14) If one of us were to be offered a career opportunity in a location far from the other’s family, are we prepared to move?
(Translation: You know we're moving as far away from our parents as possible.)
12) What does my family do that annoys you?
(Translation: What don't they do?)

Motorola Motorola T815
This looks like another gadget that would be pretty sweet to have in your pocket. Works in the car, on the motorcycle, and pedestrians can use it too. They don't really say anything about the size yet though.
"Just add a Smartphone and GO!
The Motorola T815 won’t leave you hanging! The T815 comes complete with a car charger, phone holder, visor clip, dash mount and MOTONAV service on a memory card to guide you to your destination. Just add a compatible Bluetooth enabled smartphone and you’re ready to go!�"

Ozzfest = Freefest


: : Ozzfest 2006 : : Get The Best Seats Here!: "'We're reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs,' compares Sharon. 'As a result, they found alternative ways of getting music. That’s what’s happening with summer touring in this country, it’s out-pricing itself. We started this and we want to keep it and we want to make it bigger and bigger each year by getting bigger sponsors to be involved with the festival and underwriting the festival. That’s what it’s about.'"
