Devices

This post will comprehensively summarize the latest in computerized gadgetry. Good, or not-so-good.

Have you seen the newest iphone? The 4G ifphone? I have one in a playful and wacky banana shape. Check out how life-like it is.

You can put it in a bowl of real bananas and no one can tell which one is the iphone. Brilliant. I picked it up in Micronesia, and this is one time the copycat version is actually available before the real prototypes have hit the trade shows. Works great so far. No dropped calls, and the phone isn't nearly as slippery as the trad iphone design, so no dropped phone either. The best part? The peel is the bumper cover - when you pull it back, it smells just like banana flavoring. Sort of like those candy necklaces on the elastic cords.
If you would like some candy necklaces for Halloween trick-or-treats, you can get them from Oriental Trading.

On to my favorite computer theme. The virtual computer. No one seems to be "there" yet with this concept. However, a new try at the "less is more" machine comes from China, with a completely wireless device. This time it is a TV. I suppose more people still watch TV than use computers. What do you think?
I am not lying this time. Take a look at this site: COMPLETELY WIRELESS TV.

Next, I would like to shamelessly invite any and all of you out there in the netherworld to get the free app DROPBOX. That is, if you don't already have a way that you are keeping your hard drive space open, and amassing all those documents and photos you love to amass simultaneously. My own computer says "NO" to icloud. My computer says its system is not new enough, and like that. So.... I have gone with option B and I am very pleased with the results. You might be too. Why don't you try it?

Last but not least, for today. Calendars. I am not happy with any of them. I have a google calendar, a microsoft word interactive calendar, a bigtent calendar, ical, three paper calendars and one dry erase calendar. I can't seem to sync them. I tried using itunes and www.sprint®.com. Not working yet. I will try some more tomorrow.
