And Now a Word From our Sponsors

Well not really, but I’m having some trouble today getting my brains gears moving properly so I thought I’d take the chance to write about some things that have grabbed my attention lately.

1. Twitter – This is a microblogging platform because the universe really hasn’t heard enough of my ideas on here so they should get the random ideas that cross my little brain as well. Follow me at http://www.twitter.com/kfdfiremedic70

2. Tweetdeck – Continuing along this line is tweetdeck.  Its a twitter client for the computer that gives you basically sensory overload if you can’t handle multiple streams coming at you. But if you can its a great system especially if you keep up with a lot of people on twitter. Go check it out at http://www.tweetdeck.com

3. Otterbox Defender Case – This is the most awesome case in the world, I think it protects the phone just by the force of its own awesomeness but the case itself is a good cover, most people wouldn’t buy awesomeness in a box, unless it controlled your mind by some sort of awesomeness telepathy. http://www.otterbox.com However you can get them on ebay for far cheaper.

4. Awesomeness – The word just came back to mind so I figured how many times I could use it in the last section.

5. Google Latitude – This is something some of us at work have been playing with lately and it’s pretty cool. Its basically friend lojack. Its tied into both google maps and igoogle on the website.  You set it up with your friends and it will tie them into google maps and show you where they are.  You have to have a gmail account so you all should go sign up for one and add me on there, user name kfdfiremedic70

Side note – If you have an iphone you’ve gotta wait a while for it to come out for you.

6. Youmail – Many of you have called me and, as I never answer my phone when any of you call, have heard the voicemail system I have now that calls you by name. Its called youmail and its a great system. They have their own application as well for teh blackberry but I prefer the program vymail. Its independently created and a far better program.

Go check out youmail at http://www.youmail.com

7. Shock Top Beer – Its a good competition for Blue Moon and produced by Anheuser Busch as well. Its best description is an unfiltered beer so it has the cloudy look about it but an excellent taste, especially with a twist of orange.

Check it out at Outback in Barboursville, be sure to ask for it!

 

Well thats all I’ve got for now, What are some of the best new products you have found lately?
