Nuthin’ but News
It might be hard to tell but this guy’s car is filled entirely with newspaper! He is leaning on the car reading the Post standing in front of the driver’s seat — the ONLY area not covered by newspaper!

DIY Bottle Cap Tripod
Thanks to a pointer at Gizmodo you can now make a Bottle Cap Tripod yourself… This is a great addition to the link I pointed out the other day (actually so did many sites) which enabled you to purchase one… Have to hit the Hardware Store later and give this a shot!

Looks like a great addition to any travel or day pack… small and quite functional. Here’s a hack-cum-product aimed squarely at the well-hydrated camera geek. The US$9.99-$14.99 Bottle Cap Tripod turns any 28.5- to 30.5mm-mouthed water or soda bottle into a tripod. [MobileWhack]
Bluetooth helps the disabled
As a tech enthusiast, I am often focused on adopting things for pleasure… Today though I awoke to a new view. I just passed a women in a wheel-chair wearing a motorola bluetooth headset and instantly got it. For her it was much more than a toy or convenience…it made the phone actually usable. I … Read moreBluetooth helps the disabled
Salling Clicker
I’m always amused (perhaps too easily) when the bigger sites discover something you’ve known about for a pretty long time… Salling Clicker is an amazing tool to use if you’ve got a bluetooth connection between your Mac and either a Palm or mobile phone. Version 2.2, which was released yesterday and that I happily beta … Read moreSalling Clicker
Wi-Fi (Listings) on Your iPod
Not sure how much I’ll get to use this right now, but certainly good to have handy for when it might matter… Bay Area Free Wi-Fi Wireless Hotspots has a downloadable listings of San Francisco Bay locations: wiPod is a little database that you can download to an iPod to be able to scroll through … Read moreWi-Fi (Listings) on Your iPod
Business at Kinkos sucks
It’s taken over an hour to unsuccessfully send and receive a few faxes at an absulutely silly premium per page! My mission is far from over… have to try Mailboxes later on. Argh
Some new toys to consider…
If you’ve been waiting for the Treo 600 on Verizon, today is your lucky day… It’s finally available for consumers (business customers had it waiting last week). There’s even a special wireless sync which will give you always on email, though I believe it’s the type that requires a PC (not Mac) be on at … Read moreSome new toys to consider…
Olympic Partnerships
Just watching the Olympic trials at the moment and wondering why ATT wireless has an exclusive to the mobile alerts and Olympic updates. The Olympics are a universal thing and something that (other than broadcast rights) should not be controlled by any one company. Perhaps it’s just my perspective as a former swimmer, but I … Read moreOlympic Partnerships

While I’m not exactly sure what happened here, it seems pretty clear that a car smashed into this Bath and Body Works on Park Ave…
Cell Phone Magazines
Celeb Gossip, Extreme Sports and Sports News can all be delivered as magazines to your mobile… what you were expecting magazines about mobiles?? I looked around on their site, but it seems to be a B2B play for the time being so you’ll have to have a carrier who enables this for you. Availing themselves … Read moreCell Phone Magazines
She Walks!
Tonight before Hannah had her bath, she took a few steps!! It was amazing… She stood for a few seconds before taking a few steps and then crashing lightly into Ashley’s lap! Hannah has been pretty demanding lately… wanting to use us as a human crutch to stand and walk about the apartment. Tonight though, … Read moreShe Walks!
Roaming Free
An interesting piece over at Forbes… Just as thrifty theater-goers can save a buck by smuggling in their own Junior Mints, so too are cell phone users finding ways to download their own phone upgrades without paying a big margin to their carriers. The very same phones that give users the power to download new … Read moreRoaming Free
GMail Wiki
Gmail Wiki is a site I just discovered that lets the users create and manage content and tips on using GMail…
Flickr and the blog…
So some tweaks need to be worked out… It’s great to post a picture via MMS or email to Flickr and have it show up in your blog feed, but I’d like some more control over the process like: The ability to add a category… The ability to also have the image and text appear … Read moreFlickr and the blog…

It means that Flickr photos you are sharing can automagically get inserted into your Feedburner Feeds. I’ve just turned this on… so feed readers have probably just noticed a few extras. Lately I’ve been … Read moreFlickr splices into Feedburner
