Beer Opener with counter



The BottleSpy is simply a bottle opener and you can probably start some beer popping game. It also reminds you that you should stop with the number shown on LCD, because you’ll know how much you need to pay for the bill tonight.


Every time you open a bottle with the BottleSpy it will store and display the total number of drinks consumed to date. This is great for confirming exactly how many bottles you have managed to consume, and maybe to alert you of the fact that you need to call it a day or slow down a bit.

Need to SHUT my mouth



I can not shut my mouth and let things go. I am driving everyone crazy with it.
I am sick of me. No one is disputing that I might have valid points, just that they don't want to hear them a thousand times.
I seem to think I can save people from everything by talking. Some things they don't even need to be saved from...
I just think that they do because you know I always have to be right too.


* I want to Keep my ears open and my mouth shut

* The only thing that can come out of my mouth is something I already know.

I WANT to Shut up and start learning !


Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to stop?

Introduction to Ajax

Hello friends ,

PLEASE ,dont start thinking this blog as a tutorial kind. NO , in no way ,I'm going to teach AJAX.

But, at the same time ,I want to tell you that this is one of the FANTASTIC things to learn in your IT life.

Do you know Java scripts , XML ? Are you interested in creating an interactive web pages ?
Have you ever seen google/ig page ? Do you have personalised MSN pages ? Yahoo pages ? Google pages ? .
At least you might be having an account in Flickr ? Gmail account ?
Do you know how those easy layout of pages with lots of stuff made ? Answer is AJAX.

Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript™ technology, DHTML, and DOM, is an outstanding approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications.

Five years ago, if you didn't know XML, you were the ugly duckling whom nobody talked to. Eighteen months ago, Ruby came into the limelight and programmers who didn't know what was going on with Ruby weren't welcome at the water cooler. Today, if you want to get into the latest technology rage, Ajax is where it's at.

However, Ajax is far more than just a fad; it's a powerful approach to building Web sites and it's not nearly as hard to learn as an entire new language.
By the way, Ajax is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (and DHTML, and so on). The phrase was coined by Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path (see the Resources section) and is, according to Jesse, not meant to be an acronym.

You can search in google to get more and more information about this HOT techie stuff.

Keep learning ... Keep growing

Get Sync

I was using same font and color. So this post with different font and color :)

Again one more novel idea and implementation from google.

Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

Though,there are lots of online bookmark sessions are there ,this is google,which may have more lots stuff.

You can install from this link

I myself installed that in my computer and tested . This is really cool.

You have to install in your own computer and do some basic settings. You need to have a google account (gmail id) to use this . If dont have one such invitation ask me I can help you. :-)

From warding off heart disease to slowing degeneration diseases, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's and cancer, talk of the health benefits of antioxidants are quite common today. Antioxidants work by neutralizing highly reactive, destructive compounds called free radicals. Research shows that certain types of beans (kidney, pinto, black) are among the best sources of antioxidants, while blueberries and other berries follow close behind.

For Sale: Britney's Wedding Invite


I read this in a website .. How crazy people are there in the developed nations also ?

Well, now you can buy yourself an invitation.


Over at the auction site eBay, a "Real Wedding Invitation And Candle" are on the virtual block this weekend. Bidding starts $999.99. And you would have to pay shipping costs if you won. The auction closes on Tuesday, June 6.

Included with the wedding invite, is the "bag in which the invite was delivered as well as a special note to those in the wedding," according to the auction site. "This also includes the candle that was the actual wedding favor from the wedding."

Spears is reportedly already fuming about her husband's friends selling stories about their private life.

Nokia Tattoo

Nokia_tatoo



Check out this branding ad for Nokia's new Tattoo phone. The graphics are really intriguing - you quickly get the sense of connection and spreading something beautiful and affective. Still, it's subtle. If you're not looking at the television, you'd miss the entire thing. The music isn't captivating. There is no VO. And, if you're half watching, the slithery tattoos are still subtle, elusive.



Here's the counter to my counter - Nokia is looking for early adopters, people looking for the next hot thing. I think maybe they'd watch. Or, better, seek it out. And the tag and close are pretty strong.



Great product name. We walk around with these phones glued to our faces, talking about what model we're addicted to and why we love our special carrier. Portable, disposable, pricey tattoos. Nice.

A Camera That You Can Download





















I read about this strangeproducts site.

Linatree claims to have made the first free downloadable pinhole camera that you can print out, cut out, and assemble together. Check out their Flash animation instructions.

I remember doing something like this in elementary school,
except it didn't look anything a like a "real" camera, at least nothing this fancy and intricate.

What kind of film does this camera use?

You can use a PAN film from Ilford or Neopan 100 from Fuji.
You can also use any 35 mm film.

Linatree is actually in the business of selling signed silver art prints by famous french photographers. This downloadable camera is perhaps a great way to attract attention.
