Misery deserves a pink Palm Centro!

pinkvdaycentro.jpg
Did you get to your office on Valentine's Day only to find all your co-workers cradling roses and chocolates and boxes from Tiffany while all you held near your heart was rage and loneliness? Did you spend the last week making a 7-hour audio/video retrospective of your relationship only to find out today that you are no longer your valentine's valentine?

On this day which celebrates romantic love, we want to honor the real people, the ones filled with resentment and gut-wrenching jealousy- our people. Just send me an email with a tale of Valentine's Day woe, and we will pick the best (the most painful) and send you a beautiful new Palm pink Centro, worth $400 (but as low as $99 with a 2-year Sprint contract). We will pick a winner on February 20th, so if your V-day 2008 was disappointing, then there's still time to tell us all about it. We will publish the winning story, but will not reveal names, email addresses, or other information you wish to remain private. But otherwise, lay it on us!

The Palm Centro is a perfect tool for those in search of love (or a better love). It's filled with communication features: IM, threaded SMS messaging, 3G browsing speeds, and a 1.3 MP camera with video recording.

You have to be on our email list, so please subscribe before entering the contest. Good luck and happy Valentine's Day!

Kota the Triceratops: Pleo's big buddy

kota.jpg

I was late to work on Wednesday this week because a short clip of the *greatest toy ever* (think “Pleo's big buddy") caught my eye while being featured on Good Morning America.

Kota the Triceratops dinosaur debuts this week at the annual Toy Fair held in New York City. Measuring over 40 inches tall, Kota is an interactive triceratops, featuring movement sensors in nine areas on his body. Kota adorably reacts to touch by moving his head, tail, mouth, and horns. Kota is a durable little big guy as well, he’s happy to hold a little bit of weight, and children (mind you, that’s not grown up kids) can press a button on the riding handle to play adventure-themed songs.

Six D batteries are required to keep Kota happy and playful. Approximate retail price: $300; ages 3 years & up; available: Fall 2008

RocketLife - life in the fast lane of photo creation technology

rocketlife.jpg

If you use Snapfish, Shutterfly, or Kodak Gallery, you're very familiar with the wonders of photo creation technology and have probably made countless photo books, calendars, Christmas cards, or coffee mugs with a darling photo of your baby for your mother-in-law. I know I have.

So why do we need another one? Rocketlife claims to be the "next generation of photo creation technology that revolutionizes the way that consumers create all types of personal photo products online." What's different? With RocketLife, there is no need to log into an account (though of course you'll have to create one to PAY) and your projects are stored on YOUR computer, not the service. However, the big difference seems to be with the "Smart Arrangement Technology" which intuitively lays out and designs photos into "artistic works of art."

If you're one of those people who struggle with design and tend to be a tad indecisive, then Rocketlife can make you a collage or photo in seconds. It's like having your own designer genie. As with their competitors, photos can also be manually cropped, rotated, and manipulated, with photo treatments, such as tints, blurs, lighting, textures, text, and graphics, with the click of a mouse.

RocketLife's "3D Digital Merchandising" does give you a better vision of your final project, as with the mug I made for my lovely mother-in-law for Mother's Day (scoring points here!)

But don't take my word for it...sign up for our newsletter and you'll have a chance to win a coupon code so you can try it for yourself.

Cork Coat iPhone case

iphone-cork-case.jpg

As I may have mentioned in previous posts, my iPhone is completely spoiled. It has to have the latest in accessories, from earbuds to car chargers to the stylish new cases. It changes covers more often than Barbie changes clothes.

Its latest acquistion is this cork protective cover from Griffin. Since it's made by Griffin Technology, it's functional as well as good-looking, featuring a protective polycarbonate inner shell, with easy access to multi-touch display, ports and controls, and a static peel screen protector . Note on the installation: just put your iPhone in the top casing then snap the back into place. To open the case, insert a coin into the notch in the bottom corner and gently twist.

At least it didn't break the bank at $29.99.
