N900 Comin Stateside…We Hope!

Ok, so this really isn’t news right now, but I hadn’t gotten around to posting about this phone. It’s the Nokia N900, which by the way is available for pre-order right now! Now, I love my phones, and I’m always looking for something that has the right balance of sophistication, business savvy, as well as fun functionality. Now if the promo-vid is to be believed, this phone just about has it all. It looks like it can keep up with your slight A.D.D. as well as any device on the market right now and has the horsepower to do it clocking in at 600MHz, 1GB dedicated to application memory, and 256MB of RAM. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, and 3.5mm headphone jack which is a definite plus. It also has some nifty additions such as TV-out and an FM Tuner. Really interested in seeing how Maemo5 works (the Linux based interface we see in the video) and for a small $650.00 someone can buy this for me!

Swiss Watch Couldn’t be any Tougher if it Had a Beard

Tough as Nails!

Was cruisin’ the inter-webs when I came across this awesome watch on Slashgear. As you know by now, I’m pretty big fan of nice watches. This particular watch isn’t too impressive look-wise, but it more than makes up for it in functionality. Like most wonderfully over-engineered products this watch was built to go where you, a mere humanoid, could never hope to go. This baby doesn’t have your normal Swiss-Army amenities like matches, fork, corkscrew or screwdriver. Rather, its built to go a whopping 20,000 ft under water. Not only that, it can withstand the blast from a stick of dynamite, and a gunshot! Now this watch isn’t for the lesser man, as it may show you up by just sitting there on your arm. But if your game, you can drop about $4,000 bucks for it. The case is solid Titanium, has 3 chronographs, and a Sapphire face. If your a watch nut, you can check the rest of the specs here

Sony Ericsson “Motions” Forward with MH907

Sony Ericsson thinks they have a game changer here with their new headset. The hype they had was crazy…and honestly I’m a little underwhelmed. Now that’s not to say that it isn’t a good idea for the headset to recognize gestures, but I thought it was going to be a little more in depth. The gestures are just inserting and reinserting the ear-buds, which if you ask me will just get annoying over time or give me some rash in my ear from all the chaffing.  I thought they were going to go the route of increasing and decreasing the volume based on brain impulses. That would’a been far cooler. Alas, guess I got to write that one down and do it before someone else does! But if you are still interested it comes in three colors for now…yellow, white, and titan chrome.  Click on the image to see the cool promotional video.

Strange and Awkward Workplace Scenarios

Can we say "Sanitize"

While at work, I have been encountering some strange situations, so I thought it best to write them out for the readers. That way, if you too encounter the same thing, you can take advantage of this knowledge. As manly men, we have to look out for one-another right?

So first scenario…you have just finished contemplating the meaning of life on the toilet, and have now moved to wash hands. As a cleanly man, you obviously wash your hands thoroughly if not for yourself, at least for the sake of others with whom you may come into contact. Your boss enters stage left. He uses the bathrooom. You chit-chat about the report he’s been asking you for, but you put off so that you could finish that maddening game of sudoku you have cleverly hidden on your desktop. He leaves. You note that he is nasty and has not washed his hands. You leave. You forget what just happened until later on that day you run into each other again and he wants to congratulate you on the fine job you did with the spreadsheet you finally sent him. He leans in for the hand shake. What to do!!!! This is where many people fail. Here are a few tips to help you out.

1)Give the old Obama fist bump.

2)Drop your pen. When you get up from picking it up…pat him on the shoulder before he gets a chance to extend the hand again.

3)This is a cowardly maneuver, but is the easiest and most obvious. Take the hit…shake his and and keep hand sterilizer close by.  You can sterilize in his presence for added insult.

Ninja Movie to best ALL other Ninja Movies…

And get this…the main character is Asian!!! Now I’ve been a big fan of Ninja movies for a long time. I’ve been waiting for a long time for someone to actually take a ninja movie seriously. Well folks, it may just be that that day is here. John Gaeta, the special effects guy who worked on Matrix and others, worked on this as well so I have high hopes. Also the trailer definitely helps. Really liking the fact that there seems to be permanent damage, seeing that sharp objects tend to do that to human flesh…I’m just sayin! Take a look:
