Daily Clerks

Lately I’ve been tinkering with the idea of getting back onto the digital tv service bandwagon. But I have been having some problems actually deciding on what type of digital service. Do I want to go digital cable or digital satellite?

There are plenty of pros and cons for each. They both offer a tivo like set top box so that you can record shows and of course pause and rewind live tv. This in itself is a really great thing. I forgot just how great this type of technology was until I used my friends and we able to just hang out and pause the tv to get some food.

I just got back from a short sabbatical that really made me realize a whole bunch of stuff.

Have you ever been at peace? Been totally calm? Feel completely elated?

I have…Total calm. Totally tranquil. It’s such a great feeling. Virtually unexplainable and indescribable, but I can totally remember it. The one thing that can really describe the feeling is that it feels like flying, maybe floating. Definitely floating. But even that doesn’t quite describe it.

A whole lot of fun. A whole lot of everything.

I highly recommend everyone to take some time off and take a short sabbatical.

Awesome! Simply awesome! This guy made all of his furniture out of FedEx boxes!

You can check out his work at www.fedexfurniture.com. What’s interesting is that this guy was sent a cease and desist letter from FedEx to take down the site because of copyright violations and a whole bunch of other mumbo jumbo. But alas, they are wrong and the site is back up.

This is an awesome makeover (makeunder?) for hte cash strapped.

I’ll try it out and see how it works out.

With all of the rumors of the Treo 670 being a Windows powered Treo, I have dug up some old ideas of what I’d like to have on my Treo / handheld smartphone. Aside from the 6GB microdrive and built in wifi and better camera, I wanted to include a couple of peripherals that would really make the Treo a device to be reckoned with.

One great peripheral would be creating a cable like the one for the OQO that has a plug for an external monitor, USB ports and audio outs. This cable would connect to the Treo’s data connector. Now I don’t know if this is possible, but the cable would need to have a video signal amplifier of some sort so that when you are viewing the Treo on an external monitor it won’t be at 320×320 resolution. This cable alone would rock. Also, when connected to the Treo it will also charge it.

Treo 670 running Windows Mobile 5.0!!! I can’t beleive it’s true!? A Treo running windows! And it’s actually out in the wild! Treonauts has some videos of it. Apparently the Treo 670 will have an upgraded camera to a 1.3 megapixel camera which was supposed to be in the Treo 650. It will also have EVDO support. No word yet on if it will have built in wi-fi which would totally make it mine! Another thing they must do is increase the memory from 32MB to at lleast 64MB. If the camera is indeed 1.3 megapixel, that is definitely an improvement, but it better have wi-fi. Give me wifi!!!
