Yesterday at around 3:00, our cable went down for no reason. Not only our television, but our telephone line and internet as well (everything comes through cable.) Nothing had gotten unplugged, the modem was working fine, so it had to be something outside the house. We called our neighbors. They had lost their cable services too. Time to call support…after being ask to hold several times the following took place:
I recently got an iPod touch, and as almost all iPod owners know, the polished aluminum back may look pretty in the store, but every scratch is easily noticeable. Not only did I want to protect the back from further scratching, I also wanted to make sure the iPod was safe whether in a bag, in my pocket, or anywhere else.
After reading a lot of reviews for different cases on forums and other websites, I decided to try the Speck Armorskin case (the black model–it also comes in clear, and camouflage, oddly enough.) It’s been great so far.
I got a Moleskine about a month ago (the 5×8.5″ ruled version,) and have to say it’s the most amazing I’ve had yet. Here are 5 reasons why I’m loving it so much.
If you recall, I wrote a short post on Hubdub, the news prediction game. Nigel Eccles worked with three other people to create it, then later launched “PunditWatch,” keeping tabs on the predictions of journalists and pundits, and seeing if their predictions are correct. Simon Owens conducted a phone interview with Eccles recently on PunditWatch and on how the pundits are tracked. Eccles:
“So we decided that instead of inviting them on, let’s follow their predictions and record it on Pundit Watch. We did that through stealth for a month, and then at the end of the month we launched it and said, ‘Hey, we’ve been following your predictions, and here is your performance.’”
