More Cool Stuff!

I just finished reading "Inside Steve's Brain" by Wired writer Leander Kahney. Interesting book, fast read. There are many good ideas in this book no matter what profession you are in.I re-connected with an old friend of mine, Dennis Cadorniga, on Friday. Dennis has a technology consultancy based in Vancouver, Washington. Many of his clients are in Orange County. He is down about once a month to meet in person however he is able to help most people via Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop is an amazing piece of software that allows you to control, view and communicate with other computers from any location. I use it to control three computers with one screen and keyboard. It works flawlessly.If you need computer, blog, web support check out Dennis at CADCO.Dennis showed me an amazing WiFi device. It's called the PHS300 Personal Hotspot.

It creates your own personal WiFi network using a cellular USB modem such as those from Verizon. Rather than plugging the modem into the USB port of your laptop you plug it into the Cradlepoint device. The device broadcasts a WiFi signal that up to 11 people can use to connect to.

Another friend showed me his Nike Amp sports remote control. Besides being a cool watch it is designed to control your ipod when using it with the ipod sports kit.



Finally, to add a bit of humor, Sarah sent me this link months ago to a blog called "Stuff White People Like". It is absolutely hilarious!! Satire at its best!

This graphic showing Apple's tipping point is also interesting.
