I like to keep up on the latest iPhone news. I do not have one yet, but I will. That is a promise I have made to myself. I love Mac products and I am sure that the phone will be no different. I am hoping to have one in the next month or so.

I go to school with a friend that has one and she has the coolest iPhone games that I have ever seen. It may be part of the reason that I don’t have one yet, as it might be all I do anymore. Forget studying with all the games that I could be playing. I will probably flunk out of college.

That, of course, was just a joke. I do already own quite a few iPhone accessories. Getting the phone is inevitable. I will have it as soon as I have the money saved up, so I thought I might as well stock up on accessories now, and then I have them.

While at an electronics store the other day, I decided to drop off a resume.  I really didn’t expect a phone call, but I did receive one yesterday, and I found myself at training today.  What I had not counted on was the lack of staff at the store, and their need for sales clerks.

Part of the training program today was about iPod video conversion.  Having never owned an iPod in my life, I made sure to pay attention to the lessons.  We were told that most people would ask us how to convert a DVD to iPod Nano as well as how to convert a DVD to iPod Touch.

After spending about half an hour on these topics, we touched on how to convert iPod Classic video.  Even though these iPods were no longer for sale, there were a large number of our clients that owned iPod Classics, so we needed to know about them as well.

Well, today’s lesson was thorough.  Tomorrow we will be looking at computers and digital cameras.  I will have to read up on my notes and get ready for tomorrow - I am sure it will be another long day.

I have been really busy lately and haven’t had a lot of time to use my computer.  In fact, it may have been off the longest amount of time it has ever been off in its’ life.  Just last week I decided to turn it on and check my email - I was sure that there was going to be a lot waiting for me.

But as it turns out, that was not meant to happen.  Somehow it ended up that my hard drive was corrupt and I could no longer boot up my machine properly.  I had a friend come over and help me copy off my documents and then we proceed to reformat the machine.

An hour and a bit later, we were done.  We turned on the machine, booted it up, and were confronted with a registry error.  Damn!  I don’t usually get mad, but I sure was this time - I really, really wanted to use the computer.

I remembered reading an article about the best registry repair tools recently and I was sure that I still had it printed off on my desk.  A quick rummage through the papers (okay, so my desk is a little messy) and I found what I was looking for.  On the paper was a Regcure review and a Registry Easy review which compared these two market leaders.

After reading the information that was presented to me, I went over to a friends house to purchase and download Regcure.  It seemed that it was the best in terms of performance and price, so it was decided that it would be the software to save the day.  We are just burning it onto a disk, and I am going home to fix my machine.  I sure hope it works…

As an orthodontist, I am constantly checking out new products that come on the market.  The reality is that half of all children these days need to have braces to straighten their teeth.  Because of this very high percentage, technology is always coming up with something better in the world of braces.

I was pleased with the discovery of the Invisalign brand of braces.  What this entails is a series of clear retainers that are only removed for eating.  No one needs to know that the person is even wearing them.  I thought this would do a lot for those whose self esteem has been affected because of the need for braces.

As with all new technology, there are some downfalls to these new style braces.  The first is the price.  Quite a few people will not be able to afford the Invisalign braces as they are at least twice as expensive as regular braces.  The second is that patients with an underbite or overbite will see no benefit to using these braces.

With all the hype and great reviews about iPods, there are very few people that don’t have one.  Up until recently I didn’t have one either, but unfortunately my portable CD player broke (no laughing please).  So, I went to the store to buy one, only to find they were not available anymore.

Not available?  I was shocked.  You see, I bought my current one back in 1996 and it had served me well.  Sure it was a little bulky, but you got used to that.  I had to ask the sales person what I should buy - I needed to have something to listen to on my daily run on the treadmill.

He suggested that I could get a "Shuffle" and get some iPod Shuffle accessories to enhance my experience.  I had to ask him what a "Shuffle" was - I had no idea.

He explained to me that it was an iPod - basically a portable music device.  All I had to do is an iPod to PC transfer, and I could put any song I wanted to on there.  That sounded good to me, so I bought one and some speakers for iPod, and was on my way.

I used the getting started guide provided by the sales clerk to get started, and it is really easy.  I should have gotten rid of my CD player earlier - this is much better.

I have been looking at various employment opportunities in my area.  I haven’t decided if I really want a new job or not, but it doesn’t hurt to look.  It is good to know what is out there, and be able to see opportunities when they arise.

Now, there are your usual jobs such as restaurant help, office help, and manual labor, but those are not really for me.  I would be interested in something involving technology and money - two of my favorite things in life.

Strangely I am in luck.  It seems that a local ATM rental company is in need for salespersons to sell and rent their mobile ATM machines. 

I have to admit, I don’t know much about the technical aspects of an ATM, but I sure know how to use them.  But my lack of knowledge is only a search away - I will go online and do some research on mobile ATMs and learn everything I need to know.

This definitely sounds interesting, I will have to do a little more research on the company and go down there to check it out.  Maybe I have found a reason to switch jobs - we’ll have see what my searches turn up.

In this world of technology and gadgets, things can change in an instant.  The Internet can help you stay on top of these changes - so I try to stay connected whenever I can.

Now, if you are in an area where there is a wireless network, that is definitely a possibility.  I just take out my Dell laptop and the wireless card connects automatically.  Now this works okay, but I just have to remember to turn on my firewall to stop unwanted visitors.

It is not quite as easy when you are outside of a wireless network.  In these cases, you need to find an alternative way to connect tot the Internet.  I have been doing some research and I have found out that I can hook up my mobile phone to my laptop and get the Internet wherever I can get a signal.  Sure it may not be as fast as wireless or high speed, but it does the trick.

If you are unsure whether or not your phone can let your laptop connect to the Internet, check in your manual or with your dealer.  Both will be helpful and give you the answers you need.

My four year old son just got his first computer complete with Internet access.  Many people think that there is something wrong with that, but in this technological age, I feel that being computer literate will give him advantages in life.

There is so much that he can do already on his own.  He can start it up and logon to his favorite free online games.  This gives him something to do with his free time besides watch television.  Most of the games he plays are educational. 

He is quickly learning his way around the web and I try to use his computer as a teaching tool.  If he has a question, we go to the computer to try and find the answer.  This is also teaching him problem solving skills.  We also like to look up interesting facts about his favorite interests.  I have learned a lot about dinosaurs and he has sure absorbed a lot of that information as well.

So, until I am proved wrong, I think my son having a computer is a good choice for us.

If you have been looking for mobile phone deals, you may have looked at the various brands available: Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Apple, LG, and Sony Ericsson.  Each of them have various offerings ranging from inexpensive to very expensive.  Today we take a quick peek at Samsung.

From sleek and sexy to smart and full of features, Samsung mobile phones have plenty to offer - and prices that can fit any budget.  With well over a dozen current phone options, it is definitely an adventure picking one out.  In my quest to find one Samsung phone that really stood out, I came across the U600.

What sets the U600 from Samsung out from the competition is the fact that it is so thin - a mere 10.9 mm.  Music player, Bluetooth, 3 Megapixel camera, and a lightweight design that is unnoticeable in your pocket are all standard.  If you have some downtime, you can also catch the local news with its’ built-in FM radio.

What this phone is lacking is a 3.5mm headphone jack - you are stuck using the proprietary headphones supplied with the phone.  Also, some users have complained about the touch sensitive keypad - it takes some time to get used to it.  Problems aside, the Samsung U600 is a good, feature packed thin phone.

It is interesting to see different perspectives on the world. I found two blogs with different aged writers.

The first blog is a general interest blog from a student at Adison University. It is refreshing to see younger people writing about their perspectives on the world.

Misty Mountain Online is written by an older author. His riting is somewhat different than the college students perspective. Filled with interesting articles, I learned a thing or two during my stay there.
