Bloglines

If you read RSS feeds, here is a great way to do it online.

I personally use NetNewsWire on my Mac, but since I got my iPhone I was looking for a solution that would deliver the news that I want when I want it. So I remembered Bloglines a great online RSS reader.

All you need to do is subscribe for FREE, then you either upload your OPML file, or subscribe to a feed and you’re ready to go.

After that you can log into iBloglines (Notice the “i” before “Bloglines”) from your iPhone and Vuala!

The image below shows how the main screen would look like on your iPhone.

A friend of mine is in Russia right now on a business trip.

He sent me this amazing photo that he took right from his hotel room.
Now isn’t that an amazing view?

Here’s what he said on the email he attached the picture in:

Guys,

The top is made of Pure Gold and the columns are made of full marble.

Thats the kind of money they use to spend here.

By the way this photo is from my hotel room. I also visited this place today and walked on the top.

Lol.

Which side of your Brain do you use?

This is a test to see if you are using your Right brain or Left brain.

If you see the dancing lady moving clockwise, then you’re using the creative side of your brain, that is Right.

Whereas, if you see her move anti-clockwise, then you’re using the logical part of your brain, that is the Left.

Looking for something?

Wifi Shirt Anim

If you’re like me, always looking for a free wifi signal all around the world to connect to the internet.

You will truly appreciate this T-shirt, it has a decal that shows you the current wi-fi signal strength, the glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates.

Sounds geeky huh? well I hate to have to crack open my laptop just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access. (Don’t know about checking that with my iPhone though… hummm?).

I love bread, once am on a trip you can see me floating towards bakery stores, looking for fresh bread.

I heard that Japanese don’t include bread in their daily diet (heard, not sure) but when I see something like this, I start to scratch my head.

Bread in a can, sold through a vending machine, now this is new, yet feels futuristic.
