Comfort Wipe Commercial
Being a slow start of the weekend, I came across this little gem on youtube after missing most of it on REAL tv. Let me set this up for you. Imagine you’re laying on your favorite recliner around midnight. All of your kids and wife are sleeping and the dog is on your lap. The house is finally cooling down from a hot, unusually dry, summer. You turn on the TV for some downtime before bed. The eerie silence of the night is broken by the booming sounds of an over volumed info-merical. A split second before you change the channel, something on the screen perks your interest. There’s a lady holding what looks like a giant toothbrush. Although not intended to be used on THIS end of your body, this incredible apparatus shares the same function as your everyday toothbrush. Click play on the video below to see for yourself. If you make it to the end of the clip without hyperventilating from laughter and purchase this product, you also get the ‘get a grip’ handle. This unique, suction cupped old time telephone receiver looking thing will help you get out of the shower without slipping. Of course if the suction is not firmly establish, said device will hopefully smack you in the face to remind you to NEVER stay up late.

Send Fax over Internet for Free with Myfax.com
Increasingly more people are ditching their landlines for mobile phones and voip. A friend of mine who use to work for a telephone company said phone company’s reliability and their infrastructures are the result of the cold war. There are lots of redundancies in phone lines to keep those system running in case of an emergency. When was the last time the power AND phone went out at your residence during a storm? As times have changed, even my friend has now switched from his fail proof landline to VOIP. This brings up an interesting question. What do you do when you want to send a fax and you have no phone line?
Bugs in Firefox 3.5 mac os x 10.5.7
I installed Firefox 3.5 last week and everything has worked great so far. All of my plugins have been updated. My favorite theme for Firefox on the mac is GrApple; looks better than ever. The only issues I have thus far are:
While I have pointed out a few negatives, there are many things that Firefox 3.5 does right. I love the new tab management and closed window restore. I haven’t used private browsing much but I’m sure it’ll come in handy at a client’s computer when I want to check email without cluttering their computer with my forms.
I hope my bugs are just my own and are not effecting everyone else but if they do, I would like to hear your own experiences. Thanks.
Pinning ‘my computer’, recycle bin, control panel to taskbar or superbar in windows 7
So far I’ve enjoyed using Windows 7 much more than Vista. One thing I’ve found annoying is I would like to pin the Recycle Bin, My Computer, and Control Panel to the taskbar or ‘superbar‘ as it is called now. Once you do this you can theoretically have an icon free desktop existence. I remember seeing many tips back in the Windows 95 day and even up until Vista, stating that an uncluttered desktop fosters a faster computer. This makes sense since your PC has to redraw all of those icons AND a background picture if you had one, each time you do something on the desktop. By moving all of those icons into the taskbar, you offload the heavy lifting to the taskbar applet that is always running anyway.

LaCie iamaKey usb flash drive
I remember when I got my 4GB verbatim USB Flash drive from Sam’s Club. I paid nearly 90 dollars for it. This was of course a few years ago when flash drives were still fairly new and expensive. Today companies are giving it away as promotional materials like pens and scratch pads. I would not put any valuable information in those freebies. If they’re anything like the pens, your data is safer in the hands of Bernard Madoff. What do you never leave home without? Or shouldn’t I need to rephrase. Your keys! Why not put your USB Flash drive on the chain and keep everything together?
