My Insights

My phone was having problems with the speakerphone so i went ahead and got it exchanged for a new one. However, once I got into that store, I spent more money on this bluetooth headset. Its pretty cool cuz its wireless and I can walk about 30 feet away from my phone and still be talking to whoever.

Sorry about the picture quality on the second one … its kinda hard to take a side pose of yourself.

I gotta new phone! The Motorola V505 … it rocks!

I just bought a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner for my dad’s birthday.

This thing is just awesome … you leave it on and it will clean for 2 hours and when the battery is about to die, it will run back to its base (charger) and start its charging cycle.

I think this is by far the best piece of engineering I have seen in probably a decade.

Okay, let’s try this. Anthony Casalena said that he will enable XML feeds as a free resource. But I need you guys to check a little check box on your websites to make sure it gets published.

1) Go to Website manager
2) On the right, in the Quick Actions section, click the first link “Add content to your website”
3) Scroll down to your journal and click the right most link called “configure”
4) Scroll down to the third section titled “Journal Syndication Options” and MAKE SURE “Syndicate as XML” IS CHECKED! you can leave the other fields empty or as they are.
5) Click “Modify Module” at the bottom to save this change.

Once you do that, I should be able to pull your feeds again for AllBlogs. Let’s hope this works.

In light of the recent mishap with ALLBLOGS, I emailed Squarespace with the following message-

And this is the response I got from them-

Basically, Anthony is trying to point out that the FEEDS were a PAID feature. That is some BS because most of your accounts had expired and were downgraded to FREE accounts and you still had access to the FEEDS.

Matter of fact, he changed the error message from a general XML message to the following-

Anybody who has Verizon is familiar with their rip-off scheme called GetItNow. So earlier this week, I decided that this is it! I am going to find a way to GET AROUND GetItNow.

3 Days later, I have new found respect for my skills and a way to take pictures and songs from my computer and put them on my phone as wallpapers and RINGTONES!

Don’t ask me how I did it cuz that would get too technical. Let’s just say that it wasn’t easy. In short, it involves copying everything on the phone to the computer and then changing the ringtones and wallpaper and putting everything back on the phone. It works even though it sounds simple!

The only regret I have is that my phone sucks! It can only take clips that are about 4 seconds long (Good Quality Sound) or 8 seconds (Low Quality Sound). All that work for 4 seconds of audio? It may be worth it.

Any suggestions on what I can put on there that would sound good in 4 seconds? I CAN record my own voice also but that’s too cheesy. I am very happy now! Verizon can kiss my behind!

There is a new toy on the market for Gynecologists and Obstetricians. It is the new 4-D Ultrasound. This thing is uh … amazing … uh … I tell you.

Though available commercially since the 1960s, ultrasound was not widely accepted until the mid-1970s, when additional advances in technology would contribute to better image quality.

The latest advances in ultrasound are 3D and 4D imaging. To create 3D images, an ultrasound system determines the volume of a subject – for example, a baby. The system then reconstructs the image in three dimensions. As for 4D Ultrasound, it can gather 3D volumes and instantly reconstruct them into moving images.

Check out this video below. Watch carefully … you’ll catch the baby yawn near the end.

This is truly amazing. God bless scientists and engineers.
