The MultiPot

Let’s face it, I’m a gizmo gal. As such, I’m always on the lookout for a device that will let me charge my various technology gizmos in a simple and efficient manner and look great while doing so – a functional objet d’art as it were. Well my friends, it appears I may have found just the thing! Called the MultiPot, it’s essentially “a hybrid, multifunctional
lamp, which combines a LED ambient light, a Multisocket,
and a lower vase-shaped, containing space to tidy
away any extra cabling.” There is no way to order it online at the moment, but the website does provide a toll-free number you can call for more information.

As a side note, in the process of writing this quick post via Performancing, I discovered that Option+arrow keys (I suspect this might be Command+arrow keys on a Mac keyboard. My setup is a little different as I’m using a Microsoft wireless keyboard connected to both my MBP and my PC via a switch) lets me scroll back and forward in my browser window. Yayyy! Aren’t keyboard shortcuts the greatest?

Proliferation of 3D Social Spaces

I thought I would write this down quick before I forget, more to keep tabs on the list for class next year than anything else. 3D social/chat spaces seem to be the buzz now, on the the Web. Recent ones that I have discovered include (I’m excluding Second Life just because it’s not recent to me any more):

Can you add to the list?

Bluetooth for Motorcycles

The reason I switched to riding a motorcycle was to get away from listening to music, answer my cell phone, and generally be safer on the roads. This, notwithstanding the fact that my Legacy 250 is equipped with a radio unit and also features a USB port so I can plug in my MP3 player. And now I discover that there are Bluetooth products to facilitate answering your cell phone or speaking with your pillion rider while riding. As if we didn’t ahve enough people driving with their cell phones glued to their ears already, we now may have a new breed of riders who are equally distracted.
