The MaxPac 8200X? Now that’s what I call a luggable computer. And only a mere $16,900.24.

Hmm, the VoiceLine VOIP service from Net2Phone is very 21st C. Select a US or UK phone number and use it from anywhere in the world where you can hook into a broadband connection with your InnoMedia MTA 3328-2 Telephone Adapter. The future of telecoms my friends. ‘Regardless of the country in which you set up your VoiceLine service, when someone dials your phone number, your VoiceLine-connected phone rings. For example, if you choose a U.S. phone number and set…

One for Brits of a certain age again. The Vintage Broadcasting site features lots of super groovy vintage broadcast stuff. Watch With Mother, pirate radio stations, the first advert on UK television (Gibbs SR toothpaste) and all kinds of oldie muffins. The awesome clip of the start of commercial TV in the UK in September 1955 nearly made me pass out with the nostalgia rush. “…the rights of free speech and fair play, our own particular brand of tolerance…Zero hour…

Rostrum Camera is a cool piece of freeware which lets you mimic a rostrum camera. Eh? Well, it means that you can pan across still images to make them more interesting before adding them into your video footage, web clips etc. They do this stuff on TV all the time, peeps. Wake up at the back there. ‘Automaticallly [sic] produces a series of bitmap files which can then be converted into a single AVI file using a supplied utility..Can be…

Well we’ve got eDoctors, eDentists (OK joke) and the rest, so why not eTherapists? Should do well in the Big Apple methinks. ‘Online counseling or eTherapy is a new way to ‘see’ a therapist. Use of the Internet allows us to make available therapists chosen from a large pool of expert licensed clinicians from various locations throughout the US…Select private, confidential online chat with a licensed therapist in ‘real time’ or choose our email or phone option.’

PlaceLab. It’s some kind of Intel sponsored GPS clone which works via wifi. Darned if I can figure out why though, especially since there are so few wifi spots in relative global terms. ‘Place Lab is a software base and a community-building activity that facilitates widespread adoption of low-cost, easy-to-use user positioning for location-enhanced computing applciations…The key motivation for Place Lab is the widespread proliferation of WiFi technology…Place Lab allows clients to determine their location entirely privately without constant interaction…

The Bellsouth Text Messaging Communicator is a rather interesting idea. Take a non-cellular handset and attach it to a 10 mile range GMRS and Family Radio service (part of the CB radio spectrum) with the facility to send and receive voice and text messages without charges. Due out any moment now in the US. ‘The compact unit comes complete with a belt clip for maximum mobility and is perfect for connecting parents with their children, tweens and teenagers with their…

Forget about that wuss Scott eVest, the well dressed pizza burning geek is soon gonna be wearing the WalkVest� . Complete with a CD player/iPod pocket for all those l33t exercise toons. $79.95. ‘The WALKVEST is a lightweight cotton vest with weight pockets strategically located around the mid section so that added weight is evenly distributed for safety and comfort while you walk…Slip the specially designed 1/2 lb. weights into the weight pockets that are around the mid-torso of the…

The Juice Box. Bringing ‘Power over Ethernet’ one step closer to mainstream? I smell a new trend coming. ‘The Juice Box eliminates multiple cables to networking devices by injecting power on the Ethernet cable…PoE allows power to be supplied to end devices, such as Wireless Access Points or VoIP Phones, directly through the existing LAN cables.’

Andover? Some two bit town (sorry Andoverians) south of nowhere has just implemented a super cool parking payment by mobile phone system? Andover? What on earth is the world coming to I ask? ‘From Friday passengers at Andover and Fleet were able to pay for parking by making two short phone calls – one to activate and the other to terminate their parking session.’

Magic Minder. For the terminally forgetful. By the way, if you find yourself adding your spouse’s name into this free service, I feel for ya. ‘The single biggest reason why people get out of touch is that they simply forget to touch base once in a while – and suddenly a year or more has gone by. MagicMinder.com addresses this problem simply but effectively by sending you random but regular email reminders. All you need to do is enter a…

RSS is cool, and so is Jason Brome’s NNTP/RSS Java bridge. Now you can read your favourite RSS content from inside Outlook Express, Mozilla or any other standard newsreader. It could do with a slightly more elegant startup – command line is so, like, yesterday man – but works brilliantly otherwise.

The Ferret is now RSS’d again I hope, thanks to rssgenr8.

Myskin. ‘British scientists have developed “living bandages”, made from a patient’s own cells, which speed healing for burns and diabetes sufferers.’
