Posted on March 25th, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
Our past encounters with equipment from Genius has left us with the impression that “right around average” would be a better name, but this radio combo is a step up. In addition to the CD and iPod dock, the iTempo 800 has an alarm clock and an S-Video connection, so you can display photos and videos from your iPod on a big TV screen.

THE ENDLESS DRIVE

We buy a new computer every couple of years, and over time we have a lot of good stuff stored on the old ones. Bob has pulled the hard drives out, and we have four of them sitting on shelves. Now we can plug them in and use the older stuff anytime we want.

A CLOUD OF NEWS
Posted on March 11th, 2008 by Joy Schwabach
Newsflashr.com has an interesting new way to look at topics in the news. It’s called a “tag cloud.” A box at one side of the page contains dozens of key words and phrases: like Iraq, fake Ferraris, crisis, etc. Click on one and you get links to stories from many sources. New stories have their subject in pink, older stories are in blue. But no stories are more than seven hours old.
