The best iPod case for sports - I’ve got a wonderful Burning Love case for when my iPod is at home with me (thank you, Mykala :), but I found that I need something a little more when I am running. This Incase case comes with wristband, armband, hard cover … everything you need for working out. Reasonable price, and a very rare flat A rating from Ilounge.com.
The best personal organization tool - This is Backpack. Here’s what it is. Imagine this: an interactive planner containing your different to-do lists, images, resources, calendar, reminders, and contacts. Then, make it shareable with more than one person. Plus, Backpack follows you everywhere because it is a lightweight web application.
Applications like this, that bring computer files together around projects and eliminate the need to know where files are located are the future. In the meantime, using something like this for a small project school project is something I just may try.
iPod nano: That small? - Yeah, the iPod nano next to a Club cracker. Good lord.
I hate the fact that the grass beside our sidewalks is not at the same level as the concrete. When one is on a bike and veers off the path to avoid rear ending pedestrians, this drop down is not a problem. However, when one tries to get back on the path from the grass and doesn’t take the extra effort to pull the front tire up, then one is found in the unfortunate situation of having their tire’s sidewall skittering along the concrete sidewalk, tipping the bike over. In this case, one might end up in an agonizingly slow tip, moving forward a bit faster than walking pace, continually stomping the ground with one foot like one who is trying to kill some imaginary bee on the ground. After a couple of these manic stomps, one has attracted the attention of everyone in the area, and realizes that being able to ride a bike in college is generally required and not optional. One can feel the hot gaze of peer rejection piercing through one’s neck, and realizes that something has to be done soon. With a final hard stomp, the tire comes up over the concrete lip, and one might laugh out loud to acknowledge full understanding of the absurdity of one’s incompetence.
At least I was on a bike so I could quickly pedal away from those innocent bystanders.
White Giraffe - Not albino, but a white giraffe - holy cow!
Pirate Costume - For Halloween, no?
Power Squid - Plug any number of bulky cords into this squid shaped thing. Genius.
Talk Like A Pirate Day - If you miss it today, you can make it tomorrow. Surprisingly, I already have a ‘pirates’ tag.
AIM anywhere - That is, any major chat client anywhere on your browser. Amazing. I’ll be making this recommendation to anyone.
How to Go From Introvert to Extrovert - “Often I find myself attending social events where I’m the youngest person in the room, but that feels very comfortable and normal for me. Don’t be afraid to stretch beyond the most obvious peer group and hang out with people from different ages, neighborhoods, cultures, countries, etc. You might find the variety to be a lot of fun.”
