So here’s a slick setup for your USB Missile Launcher. Rig an ultrasound radar and sync that hacked mod to your launcher for lights out fun.

Targus launched this ultra portable, yet powerful iPod speaker system, AEM0702AP, for music on the go.  The speaker system can be powered by a handful of AAA batteries or via USB power.

Why Targus hired a marketing firm who places their speakers in a pile of rocks with weeds sticking out is a complet mystery.  If these folks are trying to send the message of a lovely afternoon at the park, then grass, picnic basket and a couple glasses of wine should have been the props here.

Maybe they are trying to convey the portable iPod speaker system will get you to “rock out.”  Doubt that.

In either event, the Targus speakers will run you about $45 bucks plus a plane ticket to Korea.

So exactly what IS going on here? Well, today I found my FilterMyRSS logo on an internet mosaic image [yes I run that site]. There must be a thousand websites which make up the mosaic. I think they found me through this site. Anyway, I spent a good 40 minutes trying to find my logo somewhere in the mosaic page. The FilterMyRSS logo looks like this:

..and somewhere in the crazy looking web mosaic is my logo. Here is a smaller pic of the mosaic:

So the question becomes. Can you find the logo? I’m sure you have better things to do with your time, but I’ll reward you with a 2GB Flash Drive if you find it. Just send me the image with a circle around the location. If there happens to be more than one entry, I’ll do a random draw. I’ll keep this live for two weeks [July 10th] before updating the image with location.

Good Luck!

Mimoco is on the verge of announcing another set of Star Wars Mimobot USB drives.  This next line is their Series 3 and Mimoco will be announcing new drives between now and July 23rd.  Mimoco is having a Star Wars Mimobot contest – you can enter here – so enter to win a free drive!  I did.  It’s a fun little guessing game.

The Series 2 Mimobots are still available.  Maybe they aren’t as hot as we are led to believe (announcement of 2,000 available back in Nov ’07).

BootIt is a Lexar based utility to flip the Removable Media Bit setting of a USB drive.  What this means, is you can take a Lexar drive (and many other brands) and make it appear as a Local Drive on your PC rather than Removable Storage.

This is absolutely necessary if you are looking to partition your USB drive or try some trick hack like run your iTunes from a USB stick.

The RMB or Removable Media Bit is present on all flash drives, but whether the Lexar utility can flip it is something of trial and error.  Although it goes without saying…and I’ll say it anyway…the utility works with Lexar drives, everything else, use at your own risk.

Flip your bit BootIt is a freeware program.  Download it here.

“It’s a USB hub two computers use.” Sounds off doesn’t it? It’s not. What the Kensington ShareCentral does is provide a single USB box you can plug your USB devices into so they maybe shared between two computers. This is ideal for printers or scanners that need to be shared between computers (small office). Or ideal for placing a USB hard drive on a small network for automated backup. Or simply a KVM switch to centralize your keyboard, video monitor and mouse between two PCs. Actually I could use that now between my “work” computer with dual monitors to my “test” PC which could use dual monitors.

I spotted the ShareCentral while over at GizmosForGeeks earlier today. They had a good point:

Chances are that if you’re reading this blog, you’ve probably got multiple computers in your household, but on the other hand, you’ve probably decided against cluttering your home with multiple printers, external hard drives and the like. But it can be such a pain to keep swapping those devices amongst your various computers. Enter the Kensington ShareCentral USB sharing device.

If this bit of news peaked your interested you can check out the latest price on the Kensington ShareCentral at Amazon.
