Cell Phone Signal Booster – Extender

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 10th, 2008. Posted in Networking, Off Topic

Having poor cell phone reception is a frustrating thing and it seems there’s always a zone you can’t get a call, regardless of courier. I’m lucky enough to get 4 bars of reception at my location, but my neighbor who works less than 1 mile away, gets only one lousy bar.

Southern California has rolling hills which plays havoc for cell phone providers. Until now that is. If your home or office is in a dead zone, or an area with low quality reception consider this cell phone signal booster, or signal extender.

This bad boy will boost your weak signal into full bar reception. All you need is at least one bar to let the cell phone extender do it’s boosting.

The mobile phone signal booster will add 2,500 square feet of pristine clear reception to where ever the installation is…that’s about 3 additional rooms or offices.

So what does something like this cost you? Just slightly more than cancelling your cell phone contract, about $250 bucks.

Jump over to ThinkGeek to get the details and different models available. You need to select the correct model for your courier service. It’s one of ThinkGeek’s hottest sellers, so it’s obviously worth the investment.

GetUSB Is Naked – CSS Naked Day

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 9th, 2008. Posted in Off Topic

css iconToday, April 9th 2008 is the official CSS Naked Day.  This is why GetUSB looks simple and plain.

On April 9th, 2008, hundreds, possibly thousands, of blogs and websites will go naked in honor of CSS Naked Day.

This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honors web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood.

Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.

I think you’ll agree – CSS is an invaluable toolGetUSB looks so much better in my slick, customized CSS style sheet.

Today is also an opportunity to showcase how usable and accessible my web page structure is even without the pretty, reminding the world that it is the law that your website must accessible by everyone using any method to access your blog.

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 7th, 2008. Posted in Off Topic

bluetooth retro phoneLet’em think you are real crazy. Chat away on this retro style old-timer phone handset with no cords. Don’t mention it’s Bluetooth enabled, just let them figure it out by themselves.

The retro styled handset has a blue LED indicator for Bluetooth connectivity and runs off recharegable battaries. When juice gets low, just plug in via USB and charge it up.

The bluetooth old-fashion handset yields about 30 feet of range and works with Bluetooth version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.

Hate to point out the obvious, but the bluetooth handset does not include a cell phone, you’ll need to dig that up yourself.

The retro style handset is available exclusively through ThinkGeek for $30.
