In Austin, Zell Miller III is the only spoken word /hip-hop artist listed in the four-day SXSW festival,which draws scores of mostly-rock musicians fromaround the world.  A 5’8” black man with an easysmile, Miller’s poetic topics vary broadly.   As hetakes the stage, he launches into a piece aboutchildren with ADD.  His pace starts rapid-fire, atop ajazzy layer of hip-hop samples played at moderatevolume. 

An Atlanta video production records it all, dumbfounded.

“Instead of shoving pharmaceuticals downtheir mouths, maybe we should give them– a nap,”Miller punctuates the suggestion.  “Say word,” hecalls from the stage.  “Word!” responds the crowd ofmostly young white listeners.

My husband likes to read a few of the educational magazines that feature new inventions and the latest high tech gadgets and gizmos.  Sometimes I pick one up and get sucked into one of the articles as well.  They also have some interesting advertisements for product that seem very practical.  For example, I saw and ad for solar panels that you place on your roof and then run back to your hot water tank.  The sun actually heats your water.  It is a great idea, it’s practical, affordable to install, you can do it yourself, and it saves you money.

If you wish to save some money buying a noise cancelling earphone, then you should go for the noise cancelling earphone produced by LX18. The Lx18 Noise Canceling Headphones is touted to be one of the best headphones in the market. Not only will these headphones save you a lot of money, they will also be equally effective as some of their counterparts. It remains to be seen if this headphone can be used apart from the normal uses of a headphone.

One of the two colours of the DSi console released this spring will be the Nintendo White DSi. This is a console which has a slightly larger screen than the older DS Lite. The resolution has not increased but the larger screen is a welcome edition. This will mean that players will be able to see what is happening on the screen easier and feel slightly more immersed in the game or application. This is probably the reason people like bigger TVs and computer screens. The Nintendo white DSi is going to be released at the same time as black DSi.

With the US Election sweeping the nation and bubbling over to other parts of the world, only one thing seems to be missing: a video game featuring Obama and McCain’s historic race to the White House. Think: Street Fighter or even Mortal Kombat. With McCain and Palin tag-teaming for the red team versus the blue Obama-Biden team-up. Jabs will be in the form of press releases, ad campaigns, with special points given to personal blows. Kicks, on the other hand, will be in the form of endorsements from celebrities and other politicians. Endorsements from political celebrities will of course, fall under an entirely category. Those are body slams. Similar to finding out where to buy wii systems

Creating your own website - I mean a professional looking website - can be quite cumbersome. I spent a lot of time learning Dreamweaver but was not satisfied with the result, my website was still looking very ugly. Dreamweaver is a fantastic tool for professional who take the time to learn it properly. But I don’t want to spend weeks or months to learn a new tool.

I discovered two website builder tools in my indepth research: XSitePro and SiteBuildIt. Both are very easy to use but are different. But both are my favorite tools when I need to build a professional website quickly. You can read the difference in my sitebuildit-vs-xsitepro comparison.

I need a review of a parental control software program.  However, it has to be a reliable review.  The software I am talking about is called Net Nanny, and I need a professional review of Net Nanny that is reliable enough to help present the software to a school board.  My son will be attending a school that currently has sub-par software installed on their computers.  The software that is there is supposed to help keep kids from accessing adult information, but it also tends to keep them away from information that they need in order to complete assigned work. 

Everyone is now aware of the horrible experiences a person may go through as a result of identity theft.  But did you know that identity theft is only one of many crimes that are committed using a computer and current technology?  Because of this increase in newer technology crimes, there is a demand for trained professionals who know how to investigate these specific types of crimes.  Many people are currently earning a computer forensics online degree in order to enter this new field that has recently opened up in response to the wave of technological advances in our country and all across the world.

I used to buy a new ink cartridge every time I ran out of ink. I don’t do that any more. The refillable printer ink cartridge last through quite a few refillings and saves me a lot of money. Now I buy refillable printer ink in bulk and can refill to my hearts content. There seems to be no difference in the quality of my print so I will only by a new cartridge when the refillable one gets worn out. I love the money I save. I just can’t figure out why doing this never occurred to me before. I must be a little slow.

T-Mobile is usually at the cutting-edge of new mobile phone technology. Although I used to think of them as just an Internet provider for the hotspots and things like that, but this T-Mobile G1 mobile phone is pretty exciting technology. I love how the screen slides up to repeal an easy to use keypad that makes it easy to text your friends or to a Google search when you need more information on something. Having this easy access to Google is like carrying a second brain around. I find all kinds of uses for this phone and I’m just now starting to breach the basic features!
