My signature pose has taken me around the world. Here I am in Nuremberg, Germany.

OMG I just shot the segment for the super sexy-hot Olympus M:Robe 500 today.
One thing, why does my apartment always sound like there is a fire alarm going off? Quality housing in LA.
Ok, so the M:Robe is a sleek, futuristic MP3 player whose main claim to fame is the ability to create slide shows to music on the go. It has a touch interface, a large 3.75 inch LCD screen, and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Because of these simple features, it was chosen as one of the Best of CES this year. I say this because as far as I can see, there is nothing super crazy great about this MP3 player, except its asking price of 5 benjamins.
I will have a complete review here by Friday. But before you go, remember this, slideshows on the go is not always a good thing.' Remember that cousin who travels to interesting places and brings back only pictures of his girlfriend. 'Oh look, the building behind Tracey is one of my favorites' does not an interesting photo make.

Oy, darling readers! I apologize for my lackadaisical posting. I should have been more attentive and posted on the weekends as well as the weekdays! Well now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
If any of you watch ‘The Screen Savers’, you may have noticed that I am not around. I have decided not to sit in the nook anymore and focus more on my product segments.
In response to “The Simpson’s” tentatively scheduled February episode with a gay cast member to be outed, the reason why it is such big news and I pitched it to be talked about on the show is because the GAY CHARACTER GETS MARRIED on the show. A gay character on ‘The Simpsons’ is not the reason why we should have reported on it on the show, as the show did. Just thought you all should know. Misinformation is the devil’s interpretive dance.
Thanks for supporting me on the show guys. Being live daily is a grind and I will be back sporadically. So check in with me here. Or watch me karaoke in some weird bar in LA. Option 1 is the safer. Trust me.

I am a Mac person. And that's beginning to show on the show. Today I showed off a really cool little app called FIRE.
fire.sourceforge.net
It's a multi-protocol Im client and it's good. Sure it's no Trillian for the PC, but it's as close as anyone's come recently. Now go, I swear your chats will be more prolific thanks to this little piece of freeware!

1/24/05 Road Trips are a' comin'
Ahh the sweet siren song of the open road calls and all I can do is answer. The last time I threw caution to the wind and hopped into my car for a trip to remember, I got lost, ate water logged cheese, and my travel buddy picked at my hair because there was nothing else to do!
Vowing never to take another cursed road trip again, I have compiled a list of all the gear you’ll need to make this sojourn and your travel buddy enjoyable. What can I say? Technology has made me a convenience zealot.
YOU’RE LOST WITHOUT IT $700
With the Magellan RoadMate 300 securely attached to my windshield, I will be lost no more! This fairly small unit is most compact and least expensive model from the GPS giants, Magellan. It promises to get you where you’re going - with a soothing voice (not like the mean ones inside of your head!) to guide you along the way. Even the name sounds adventurous!
Magellan RM 300 Features:
• Store up to 110MB on the internal memory, including preinstalled maps of the major roads of North America
• 14 parallel GPS channels; WAAS-enabled (Wide Area Augmentation System) for extreme accuracy to within 3 meters; TrueFix technology
• 3.5" color touch-screen display with 320 x 240 resolution and up to 32,000 colors
• Turn-by-turn guidance with voice prompt and auto rerouting
• Holds up to 2 million points of interest, 600 addresses (200 x 3 users), 30 tracks and 2,000 trackpoints
• Store additional maps on Secure Digital memory cards (not included) via built-in memory card slot
• Software includes 48 U.S. state maps and full coverage of Canada, Hawaii and Puerto Rico preloaded and ready to use
LOOK MA, HO HEAT! $1250
You know what really chaps my hide? Heat. Like the skin-scorching temperatures from your laptop as you’re watching the first 30 minutes of LOTR. Ouch! Well Lap, I’d like you to meet Averatec 6200 Mobile Theater laptop. What sets it apart is its ability to play DVDs without having to turn on and boot the PC. That means the computer won’t get hot while you watch a DVD. And with 260 minutes of play power from one battery charge, you can watch that LOTR epic without suffering 3rd degree burns. Plus you’ll have a computer for your travel journal. You plan on keeping one, right?

FEAST IN YOUR CAR
Let me take a moment and tell you how I ended up on a long trip with the water logged cheese. Long story short, cheese goes in cooler with ice, ice melts, ruins my cheese, and I die a little inside. Today, I give all you travelers a solution to your hot and cold food needs for those long tumbleweed-filled drives.
The Sharper Image Hot + Cold Car Snack Box ($60) Features:
• Portable "mini fridge16 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 7 1/2" and weighs 8 lbs.
• Secure it on or between the seats and plug it into dashboard power socket.
• Peltier Effect electronics allow you to select "Cold" or "Hot."
• Insulated interior holds at least six 12-oz. beverage cans and a sandwich.
AURAL AMUSEMENTS
Now for one of the hottest little devices I’ve ever gotten my hands on: the Delphi MyFi –the first personal and portable XM satellite radio. What makes this thing so cool? Well MyFi fits in the palm of my hand, looks stylish, and gives me over 130 radio stations in the car, at the gym, and everywhere else.
The palm-sized MyFi, comes with a rechargeable integrated battery pack, antenna, remote control, headphones, home kit and vehicle kit, it’s perfect for the road, plane, or short walks to the kitchen.
Delphi MyFi Portable XM Satellite Radio:
• The first personal and portable XM satellite radio
• Breakthrough time-shifting "Memory Mode" capable of storing up to five hours of XM programming
• Integrated, rechargeable battery
• Built-in FM transmitter to make any FM radio and XM radio
• Everything you need in one package for car, home, and on-the-go
• Info Extras include a personalized stock and sports ticker
• Live XM listening mode
• Up to thirty channel presets

May peace and good fast food be with all you roadies as you take this sojourn by storm. HALLLOOO!
