20GB of Amazon Cloud Storage for 1 Year for Under...
Amazon launched their Cloud Drive storage service yesterday, which is 5GB of free storage on their servers or more (at a price) if you need it. Needing only an Amazon account, you’ll have access to your files anywhere, any time. You can upload music, your documents, or whatever you want and only in the event of a super-epic catastrophe will you have to worry about your files ever being...

MAME-Cam Micro Camera by Thanko
Take your Austin Powers spy game to the next level with this micro camera. Weighing a mere 11 grams, it takes 1600x1200 resolution pictures and shoots 640x480 video (AVI, 30fps) in mono audio. Pointless to own and guaranteed to cause you insufferable anguish if you were to ever lose it.

Quick update for this week: March 28th - More...
Hello fellow obsessionists!
I just wanted to make a quick update before my mind becomes compromised by other activities (which includes showering, watching the season finale of Californication, and eating). With the weather not drastically improving, I need to make some assessments and set some goals so that I don’t lose my mind. Here are some things to come this week:
A post about goals:...

Belkin DualFit Thoughts
If any of you are still thinking about snagging a Belkin DualFit for your iPod or compatible smartphone, mine arrived today and I wanted to provide a few quick thoughts.
The armband’s casing is a snug fit so definitely don’t try to jam your phone or iPod in there with a case on. The arm band will accommodate very small arms to big arms up to 15” and there are openings at the...

Ever since I was introduced to budae jjigae (“army stew”) at a local Korean hangout, I’ve been quite curious of other ways ramen could be used. However, my days of binging on packets of ramen are long gone and over.

Deal of the Day: BELKIN Dual Fit Sport Armband...
I haven’t posted a deal in a while because I stopped shopping for stuff. However, I have been wanting an arm band for my iPhone when I go running and I’m glad this one is at a decent price. This is an overstock item and doesn’t come in its original retail packaging. It’s not specified for anything other than the iPod touch but it will fit other devices like the iPhone and...

That’s a lot of text. I wonder what percentage of those tweets are about Justin Bieber.

The new initiative, YouTube NextUp, is not focused on discovering new talent, but more on “accelerating the growth of the next big YouTube stars.” Existing YouTube partners (those with less than 300,000 subscribers) are asked to apply...

Getting to Know Flapon: A New Social Networking...
What’s Flapon?
Flapon is a topics-based social networking service. Think of it as Facebook groups if it had threaded discussions with a slice of Twitter. The idea is that it makes it easier to connect with people who share similar interests to you.
How’s it work?
What makes it different from Facebook is that Flapon focuses on discussions—There’s no wall to write on, no...
