Seriously trivial thoughts
My Sansa Fuze MP3 player has a cool feature that lets you playback podcasts and audiobooks at a faster than normal speed. You can easily understand the speech, but it also increases the pitch, although not to chipmonk-like levels. However, I would prefer to use my N95, but it lacks such a feature. The solution? …
Well, I got my brand spankin new 32GB 2nd gen iPod Touch safely protected in the cool RebelTouch case. Goofed up on the first screen protector and now I know why they give you two ;-) The first think I noticed was how slow and bloated iTunes was. It often just kinda annoyingly sits there …
I'm weak. I gave in to the dark side. I've got a 32GB 2nd gen iPod Touch on order and my trusty N800 is up on eBay. Got a good price on Amazon. Only $379 with free shipping and no tax. Compare this to the $324 I paid for the 16gb model I got for …

You can use the free Pandora app for a Slicker-like experience. Yeah, I understand the whole auto-sync feature, but I don’t see …
Just install the The PlayOn! app on a PC networked to your Xbox 360 or PS3 and you can stream Hulu, CBS, YouTube, ESPN videos and more to the device. Netflix streaming content support is coming soon. Woo hoo! They got some major bugs worked out yesterday and I was able to access most of …
Forgot to record the 2008 VMAs but found some clips on MTV.com. Here are some of my favs. First off, Paramore rocked. Christina's performance was so so, but it was good to have her back. Looked like a lot of lip syncing altho she might have been doing some live over top. The last two, …
