Kingdom of Simplicity - SF Launch Event

So, a great author with a great book has scheduled the West Coast launch.

LitQuake Event (http://www.kingdomofsimplicity.com/events.html)

The Kingdom of Simplicity, by Holly Payne, is one of the best novels I've read of late. If you're local, show up, have some fun, get a copy, and meet the author. Did I mention she's cute?

July 9th. Be there!

Loving my iPhone more and more....

Don't have one? Get one.

If nothing else, the ability to control your music server (i.e. iTunes) from anywhere in the house is wonderful. We have speakers in all the rooms, and can have whatever sort of music wherever we want it. It's wonderful!

So, buy an iPhone. You can make calls with it, too.

CES 2009 - The Earbud Yo-Yo and Other Cool Stuff

A newcomer to CES, Covington Creations has the most useful earbug cord-manager that I've ever used or seen. It's a simple; more importantly, it works. There's a picture and a video demo at their website:

Why is it cool? Well, it works. Most of the cord stays spooled, so you don't get snarls. And it's small enough to fit in a pocket or iPod pouch, which is a requirement for any cord-minder, and one often overlooked by other desgners.

Okay, maybe this isn't the most high-tech gadget at CES, but it's one of the most useful. It has cured me of constant (and annoying) cord-untangling. Go by some!

We'll blog on other gadgets later.

Thanks, Veterans! And Those On Duty Now

The title says it all.

You are remembered, and appreciated. As you always will be, so long as there is liberty in the world.
