I’ve written before about both my love of good (preferably large) watches and my nostalgia for cassette tapes, and here’s a design that brings them both together with a dash of style.
It’s available for ??35.00 (around $69) from Asos, who for some strange reason have it in the men’s section of their website… Hey Asos, girls can be geeks too, y’know!

Here’s an interesting website I just uncovered that might alleviate some of the $4/gallon gas pains everyone is having.
It’s called PickupPal and it connects drivers with passengers and packages. I’ve seen sites for carpooling and ride-sharing before but this is a bit of a new twist.
PickupPal’s core service is providing a venue for either passengers or packages to find or be matched to a driver—typically already travelling in a certain direction or destination—for a small commission. This intelligent matching is performed via our own proprietary set of software algorithms that dynamically and in real time compare routing, frequency, locational, and driver/passenger preferences against a pool of registered users.
This kind of service may have really come in handy for me a couple of years ago when I sold an antique silver chest on eBay and ended up driving it to Norfolk, VA myself because I didn’t quite trust any other shippers.
Would you use a service like this? What other similar services have you seen to compare it to out there?

I’m driving home from work the other day and I see a sweet bass boat coming down the highway. I should probably clarify, it was on a trailer being pulled by a truck, I KNOW how boats work.
The cool part about this boat and truck was that they were matching! Both of them had “Folgers” coffee logo on them. Then I begin to think this guy’s a professional fisherman (or maybe won some kind of coffee drinking contest perhaps?) or something.
I get closer to it and see the following URL: www.fantasyfishing.com
That’s right, www.fantasyfishing.com and there it is, my curiosity is piqued and I’m just waiting to get home to check-out this website and what it’s all about.
Sadly, I couldn’t find a lot of details about what’s behind this whole thing, but I’m guessing you pick your fishing team hope your guy catches lots of fish.
Has anyone else seen this? Have you been playing? I’ve got to know more about it. What can you tell me.

If you’ve spent much time on the Internet you’ll probably get at least a few of these references to some popular online viral videos.

I was thrilled to bring you the news that you will be able to watch Olympic events on your laptop, and even download them for later watching offline. And all for free.
And then I read the announcement more carefully. The system is available only to users of Vista. No Macs need apply, nor Linux users, nor even other Windows versions, like us XP users who are hanging in there as long as possible.
David Chartier at Ars Technica explains it all. Dang.
No word yet on NBC’s plans for Olympics coverage adapted to mobile platforms like iPods and video players. But surely there will be some? Won’t there?

We have nieces and nephews, and “adopted” children through our co-workers, friends, and extended family. Moms we are not, but doting “Aunties” suits us just fine (love em’ and leave em’ at someone else’s home).
The demographics of women’s lives have dramatically changed. Most of us aren’t married with 2.1 children. In fact, “childless” (but child-loving) women represent more than 50% of the adult female population. Outside of Jane Austen novels and romantic comedies we’re largely overlooked and underrepresented online, in spite of our buying, recommending, and overall superpowers when it comes to the spoilage of children we love.
These thoughts combined with her own experience of becoming a doting auntie, took Melanie Notkin on a self-described “wild carpet ride” from expert interactive marketing employee to “aunteprenuer.”
Notkin’s perseverance and smarts just gave birth to online community savvyauntie.com. A year in the making, Savvy Auntie, unlike mom and parent-focused niche social networks, finds its place with women who do not (yet) have their own children, but have children in their lives.
My initial reaction to the concept was that the focus on the site would be shopping-centric on what to buy for children, but almost instantly I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Savvy Auntie is a content and community site. Sure, you’ll find lots of information there on what to get and what to give, but you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women.

Sunglasses to me are what Manolo’s are like to Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker, in case you’ve been living under a rock.) I have the beach “cheapies” (10 bucks) and my stylish Kate Spades (let’s just say over a hundred dollars), but for real performance I always carry my Oakley’s. Simply put, they make the best polarized lenses - no distortion, real colors, and because of the “water sheer” factor, you can even wear them in the pool. (Oakley calls it, amusingly, the Hydrophobic feature, but basically it’s a permanent lens coating that prevents water from leaving streaks and sheens, which can compromise vision. It also works against sweat, skin oils, fingerprints and suntan lotions.)
Now they’ve taken them one step further and improved the fit by enlisting female athletes in the design process. The result? Two sizes of interchangeable nose pieces which come with every frame, adapting for the perfect fit, and a frame made of something called “Unobtanium,” which makes them light. Also, the supple synthetic increases grip with perspiration.
For unbeatable clarity at all angles of vision - even at the sides - the lens contours provide peripheral view and optimize protection against sun and wind, and - god forbid - side impact.
