Chumby One: Initial Thoughts

October 18th, 2009 Jeremy No comments

chumby oneI am disappointed about the direction that Chumby Industries is taking their new product. The Chumby One is no longer plushy, which to me, gave the Chumby Classic a very stylistic appeal. I don’t understand why the company doesn’t just improve the hardware specs of the classic Chumby and keep the same form factor. I feel that it looses it’s uniqueness with the new body. Here’s a quote from Matt Burns @ CrunchGear.com that describes exactly how I feel:

The original Chumby was soft, cuddly, and cute. The new Chumby One is uptight, all-business, and commercial. I hate it.

It will be interesting to see how the final product will look. You can expect it to be in online stores sometime before the holidays.

My Favorite Xbox 360 Feature: Netflix

October 16th, 2009 Jeremy No comments

Since August, my Xbox 360 has turned into the source of  all of my TV shows. This change was prompted by Microsoft and Netflix’s partnership, which gave the Xbox 360 exclusive rights to stream all of the content in the Netflix Watch Instantly on-demand library. When this feature came out, I was exstatic since I’d already had a Netflix subscription for over a year. I was now able to use my existing 360 and watch all of my favorite shows like The Office, Law and Order, CSI, The Shield, and many others. Read more…

Firefox Addon: Xmarks

October 14th, 2009 Jeremy No comments

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/t/19473/1239408898Today, I reinstalled the Xmarks Firefox add-on. It is a very easy to use add-on that creates an easy method for syncing all of your bookmarks on all of your computers (assuming they have Firefox installed). My purpose for the add-on is to keep my laptops bookmarks in-sync with my regularly used home desktop computer. With all of my college and work being online, I am constantly adding bookmarks and since I only use my laptop a small percentage of the week, compared to my desktop, it is an annoyance to try and find and duplicate the bookmarks to my laptop. Xmark is probably the best solution out there for solving this type of problem.

UPDATE: Along with Firefox (as always), Xmarks is available for Chrome, IE, and Safari.
Status (as of Oct 14, 2009):
Chrome – open alpha
IE – full support
Safari – full support

Timbuk2 Commuter 2.0

October 10th, 2009 Jeremy No comments

In early September I started looking for a messenger bag for college. A few weeks earlier I happen to catch an episode of Tekzilla on Revision3 and a viewer happen to write-in and ask about a good place online to buy great messenger bags. They mentioned the Timbuk2 company out of San Fransico, CA and how they’ve been creating great bags for a while now. the bags color can be customized to fit your styleSince I needed a new bag and price really didn’t matter all that much, I checked out the  Timbuk2 website – timbuk2.com. I knew that I needed a bag that could handle carrying both a 15.4″ laptop and several textbooks. Those requirements led me to the Timbuk2 Commuter 2.0 laptop messenger bag. Read more…
