Whose life would you change?

The Washington lottery took a unique look at marketing the lottery. We all know what we would do WHEN we win the lottery, at least I have a plan. This wasn't in the plan, but it certainly makes you think about allowing someone or something to experience life in a way they would have never thought possible, here by helping flightless birds on a glider so they can experience that elusive flight. So, when you win, whose life will you change? And does it require winning, if not, why not today!

iView - oh santa please!

So, for quite some time now, I have been searching for an external monitor for my laptop. But I want something nice, visually appealing, and don't want to have to give my first-born for it. But, here is something that I might just be able to get behind... if only it were real. The iView is the brainchild of Nuno Teixeira, coming from his design portfolio. And the kicker, it has a mini monitor on the back side so that an assistant or client can see what you are doing, or I would venture so that you can present something full screen on front (this is a dual monitor not one) and still see what your viewer is experiencing. And from the look of this, Apple would be smart to reign in this genius befor someone else does. This is just beautiful, and the curve of it conjures  visions of innovative cubicles that are really only separated by these curved bank of monitors and an ultra comfy chair. Or airport terminals with chairs that you just swing the monitor and a keyboard around to sequester yourself, even in the middle of a ratnest airport. So dear dear Santa, please leave an iView under my stocking this Christmas, really, I have been a good girl!

move over iPhone?

Now, I am a die hard Apple fan, but due to the fact that I can't get one anytime soon up here in boonieland kind of frosts my cookie. But, is it my ongoing love affair with the fruit, or just needing the last cool gadget. Well, there is something about owning the original, kind of like the knock off purse, fun to have, be walking around knowing yours is the real deal is something else. Well, take a look at Android, Google's answer to iphone, which they gave us a sneak peek at during the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Oh come on, you knew it was only a matter time, but grab the drool bucket, because it won't be released until later this year. So, while I will still campaign for Apple world domination, Google gets snaps for their innovative strides as well, lest we forget their bevy of genius; the search engine, the fabulous analytics, mail, calendar, applications to name a few. And on top of it all, they have found a way to make the web accessible to everyone by making all of that FREE. Anyway, chec out this video of the phone.....coming to a hand near you.....this fall.
