Blog 5 - October 15, 2012

Howdy Folks!

Thank you for your discussions regarding cell phone technology. We are moving towards the transportation topic.

In preparation for switching topics this week we will visit one of my favorite sites:

http://www.thinkgeek.com/

I love, LOVE this website. It's chock full of stuff for geeky people.

So for credit this week, pick a product and GIVE US THE LINK and then tell us why you love it or think it's abundantly stupid. You MUST PROVIDE THE LINK so that the rest of us can go and look at it.

Your blog should look a little something like this:

I want this WiFi dectector shirt so badly. I've been threatening to get it for two years now and my family swears they will disown me if I wear it around.

Lanham, 1st period
You must give us the link.
You must give an opinion.
You must sign and put your class period.

This is one of the RARE times when you can go ahead and blog on Tuesday. Be sure to check back on Thursday during blog time if you do that so you can see what everybody else is shopping for.

Talk to me . . .

Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard for iPad & iphone. This is so cool. I like the fact that this will allow you to type without touching your objects screen. You could type on any flat surface using your laser to type anything you would like and it would appear on your screen. :)

Raven I've been seeing that laser keyboard for a couple of years now, and before that it was a concept. Don't you wonder how your fingers would keep from accidentally hitting other buttons?

I believe that this watch is a great invention and for students in the 9th grade up to 12th even as an adult its useful because you might be in a meeting and have your phone in your pocket cant use it or whatever and look at your watch, maybe its an emergency and you have to go you can make up an excuse. I think this is one great technology.

I love the 9ft charger cord for the iphone!!! The cord they have now is way too short and always falls out of my phone! With this i can charge my phone all the way across the room and still have enough room left on the cord to be on my phone!

Alright I dont know about you guys but when I read the Hunger Games I couldnt help but feel hungry. Not because the book had so much imagry that I could literally feel the same hunger as Katniss but because home girl would not stop talking about food! I'm such a big fan of the Hunger Games and what better way to read the book then by reading it while snacking on some homemade dried squirell stew am I right?!?! But in all seriousnes I just thought that this was a funny and cute idea. :)

This is soooooo smart. I always don't have enough room to plug things in so this would save room to plug my iPhone and iPad to charge. Also you don't have to have the wall adapter to charge them, you can just plug the USB cord in.
