fireftp

how did i not know this existed until now????

i keep thinking that flock would be the perfect browser if it only had an ftp thingy… well guess what??? my life just got one click easier.

works in firefox too, for you non-flockers. if you are still using explorer… oy-vey.  for the love of pete, set yourself free and go download flock or firefox… right now – GO!

i want to be the bionic woman

digital contact lenses

according to fox news

Researchers Develop Bionic Contact Lens

If you’ve ever wanted to be the Bionic Woman or a Terminator, new research may at least let you see with their eyes.

Scientists have taken the first step toward creating digital contact lenses that can zoom in on distant objects and display useful facts.

For the first time, engineers have installed an electronic circuit and lights on a regular contact lens.

The prototype they created does not actually light up or display information. But it proves that it is possible to build an electronic lens that is safe to wear and doesn’t obstruct vision….

read the whole thing.

i can’t wait to have a pair of these!!! they should be within my reach by the time i’m 90. maybe, by then, they’ll be able to rebuild me all the way. :-D

[[whew]] i made it

my quest for a bubble wrap, bouncy ball grade iphone skin has ended with….

the incipio silicrylic iphone case 

incipio silicrylic iphone case

this is what i’m talking about!  bouncy, squishy soft silicone wedged snugly into tough acrylic “armor”.   the best of both worlds.  the buttons are all in the right place – -  clean, defined and responsive. the speakers, camera and dock ports are free and clear.  and… (this is smart – i love it when a product is smart) the silicone nubs on the back of the case poke through the acrylic shell to create… yes, you guessed it -  slip resistent feet which, as a bonus, prevent the crystal clear acrylic finish from getting all scratched up.

[[whew]] i made it.  i didn’t kill it.  i’m pretty proud of myself.

thank you to everyone who shared with me your good, bad and ugly iphone skin stories.  thank you to the manager at the at&t store who insisted i bring this back for any reason at all in the next 30 days.  even if i just wanted to try a different one. thank you to my honey and my mom who got me the best christmas present e-ver.  i love my iphone.

long live carolyn’s iphone…   ( ya’ll – pray for me :-D )
