Jawbone Bluetooth headset
I'm probably not going ever have a super quite car/truck so this is the type of bluetooth headset I'm looking for. And it doesn't look to shabby either.

My google's better than...

Fugitive Thought

"Gmail users receiving attached documents now have the ability to view them via Google Docs and Spreadsheets, which presents a sleek in-browser word processor interface. Emails arriving with a document attached will now display a "open as a google document" in addition to the usual "View as HTML" and "Download" options."

Google Docs and Spreadsheets
I'm really interested in trying out the collaborative features of docs and spreadsheet. I just have to figure out a good reason to try it. Docs also exports to Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF, and HTML.

Technology Review: Battery Breakthrough?

Battery (?)Breakthrough?
Actually it sounds like it's some type of combo battery-ultracapacitor, but if it's real, GM's gonna be pissed.

"The company boldly claims that its system, a kind of battery-ultracapacitor hybrid based on barium-titanate powders, will dramatically outperform the best lithium-ion batteries on the market in terms of energy density, price, charge time, and safety. Pound for pound, it will also pack 10 times the punch of lead-acid batteries at half the cost and without the need for toxic materials or chemicals, according to the company."

Boing Boing: Grandmaster Flash: first hip-hop act in Rock Hall of Fame:

dj steveboy - Podrunner
This is the find of the year. I've been researching the whole Nano/Nike+ thing and came upon Podrunner. DJ Steveboy (I guess all the cool DJ names were taken)puts out hour long mixed via Podcast on iTunes every week. At free 99, the price is right as well. These are fixed bpm beats to run to. Also check out Grooveelectric, a sic mix of electronic and funk. Open you iTunes and get some freezy sheezy.

More Google radness

Google Maps
This has been out for awhile but I never mentioned it. Find the business on Google maps. Type your number in the click to call tab.
"Google calls your phone and automatically connects you to the business. Doesn't matter if the call is local or long distance--Google foots the bill. Your only out-of-pocket expense is if the call gets routed to your cell phone (in which case normal airtime charges apply)."
Check the box to have Google remember your number and the whole process is 2 clicks from there on out.
