Chumby One Review

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:14:13 +0000

http://go.tagjag.com/chumby - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - You might remember the original Chumby, which wasn't quite as cool as the new Chumby One is. It has a touch screen for starters, and an awesome speaker. You can configure the widgets through the free web account that you get when you buy your Chumby. Personalize it any way you want. The thing I think I like the most is that it runs on battery, as well as through a regular cord. http://chris.pirillo.com

LEGO AT-AT Fun

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:22:55 +0000

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - The LEGO AT-AT is the All-Terrain Armored Transport, seen in Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back. This is actually my third major LEGO build. The first was the Star Destroyer, which was given to me by a friend. The second was the Death Star, which friends helped me build a few months ago on my birthday. The coolest thing about the AT-AT is that it is motorized! Just flip a switch and watch it take off across your room. I happen to think it's probably the coolest thing I've seen all year. I'm just not so sure that Pixie would agree. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://geeks.pirillo.com

It's a good thing Artisteer now makes it simple for you to create and customize your own WordPress theme with just a few clicks of the mouse. http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com

Parallels Review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:31:12 +0000

http://go.tagjag.com/screencast - There have been numerous screencasts submitted over the past couple of weeks. Several of them are very, VERY good! I always knew that our community was full of talented individuals. It's not too late for you to get involved, and have your screencast featured on this channel! Bwana has been hanging out with us for years, and is even a moderator in my chat room - when he has time! He's gained quite a following of his own, and rightfully so. He does excellent work, and I'm always more than happy to have him do reviews for us. Today, he sent a screencast to me to give you all an overview of Parallels 5.0 on the Mac. http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - http://www.youtube.com/iobuffa

What is the Eye-Fi?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:15:38 +0000

I used a digital camera to take a photo of the chat room, and then had it automatically transferred to my Flickr account. I could just as easily send it to my Facebook page, or any other account that is supported by the Eye-Fi. The picture was transferred wirelessly over my home network from the camera directly to my desktop... and then right to my Flickr! Using the Eye-Fi SD card, it is a snap to upload photos without having to go through several different steps. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo

How to Surf

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:51:30 +0000

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - Most of you know that I am an experienced surfer. I've been at it since about 1994, through various platforms and browsers. Yes, I'm an Internet surfer! I've never gotten on a physical surfboard, or been on one in the water. However, I did get my own custom surfboard today, courtesy of LeapFish! How cool is this thing?! The folks at LeapFish just recently re-launched their site, dedicated to bringing you a single, connected, multi-media experience for both searching and sharing traditional and real-time content. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://geeks.pirillo.com

Downtown Honolulu Skyline

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - The skyline in Honolulu is absolutely beautiful during the late evening. Isn't that view amazing?! The reason I recorded this, though, is to get all of you involved. I want to have everyone record a short video response for this post, and show us your skyline. You can live in a city, a small town, or even out in the country. Take a short video and show us what it looks like in your neck of the woods just before sunset! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com
