Meet Sean Siler - The PC behind the PC
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Sep 25 2008 - 10 viewsHi. My name is Brandon and I’m a Mac. And a PC. And a Penguin? I guess I’m a penguin too… I don’t think they’ve determined a label for the Linux folks yet. Either way, I’m all three. I use a Mac at home and while I’m RedHat certified I actually spend a lot of my time working on Windows servers too.
So - Who are you?

WOW of the day - Celio REDFLY for $199!
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Sep 25 2008 - 24 views
Just saw this in my feeds - can’t believe the price! If I had the cash (and I unfortunately do not at the moment) this would be a must buy situation!
I wrote up my first thoughts of the Celio Corp REDFLY Mobile Companion back in March, then I bought my own in May and then the price dropped from US$499 to US$399.95 in August. Well, now you can pick this device up for only US$199.95 and IMHO that is a steal for anyone with a Windows Mobile device looking to be productive on the go. I understand this is a “seeding” price that is only good until 31 October and I guess the intent must be to get the device out there and have people talk it up.
So, without any further delay - head on over to The Mobile Gadgeteer and get you one heck of a deal!

So today Sony goes nuts and launched four new devices - all iPod and iPhone compatible including a HD Radio w/ tagging, CD Clock Radio, Docking Speaker and finally a Boombox! Yes Boombox. Did anyone else immediately think of this?!

Yea … anyway thankfully the Sony model looks a lot better than that. For those of young ones of you who just asked yourself WTF is that - it’s called a GhettoBlaster - look it up.

Hi. I’m a Mac. And the new MS Commercials are great.

Ok - so maybe they aren’t as good as that one - but they’re still pretty good. I like that they turned things back on Apple a bit with the “Hodgman Look-A-Like” and I definitely like that they brought a personal feel to the ads instead of just 30 seconds of “commercial about nothing”.
Anyway, here’s the videos:
Thanks to @TechCrunch for putting this out on twitter. Be sure to tell us what you think of the new videos in the comments. Do you think this is an improvement or should MS bring back the funny guys?

New Family … Microsoft WTF?
Posted by: Brandon Steili on Sep 11 2008 - 33 viewsSecond video out from Microsoft featuring Bill and Seinfeld. While somewhat funnier - I still don’t get it. Oh well, Here you go Microsoft - another 4 minutes of free advertising and discussion on commercials that will be part of a marketing class someday.

WMWiFiRouter Updated to Version 1.2
Posted by: dgoldring on Sep 11 2008 - 59 views
Last week, I told you about WMWifiRouter, the fantastic little program that turns your Windows Mobile phone into a walking Wi-fi hotspot. Well, no sooner had I posted that review, than I learned today that WMWifiRouter released a new update, making the program even better and more stable than ever.
There are a whole host of upgrades and new features, so users of the previous version will definitely want to check this one out. Chief among the new features is a battery monitor. One of my chief complaints about the previous version was that it drained your battery faster than a school of piranhas could skin a cow. This power saving feature will automatically shut down the program if your battery drops too low.
Hit the jump for a complete list of features from WMWifiRouter’s website.
