Guess who’s not using his brand new Droid Razr? | ZDNet http://zd.net/sKC3Za

Christopher Dawson of ZDNet uses 2 pages to document how horrible Verizon’s service is. Sigh.

So my wife, in her infinite wisdom, got me an Amazon gift card for Father’s day. Apparently I’m hard to shop for. :{

I don’t think I’m hard to shop for. Go figure.

Anyway, there were so many cool gadgets. Bigger memory cards for my phone; a stylus for touch screens; a cloth that keeps the notebook screen clean when it closes. This list could go on and on.

Finally, I settled for a good bluetooth headset. I lose or break them more than I care to admit.

I found one with a low profile and noise canceling features called the Jawbone PRIME JBT01 Bluetooth Headset. Looking around on Amazon I found it listed for as much as $100. Ouch.

Click me for big version

Now I don’t usually give up that easily on Amazon. And I had a virtual gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket. So I looked a little harder and found this:

Jawbone PRIME JBT01 Bluetooth Headset – Retail Packaging – Silver for $21!

Try that at Costco

To the right is a pic of what came in the mail 2 days later. So far it is the clearest sound I’ve ever had on a bluetooth headset. (I’ve used 4 others). It comes with a wealth of parts to adjust perfectly to your ear and a charging cable that can plug into your computer’s USB port or an A/C adapter.

Let me add that the charging cable has a nice magnetic connector like some of those new notebooks. So you don’t feel like you are putting extra wear on the headset when you attach it to the charging cable.

So far, I really like it

If you only back up to a hard drive, it WILL fail. One day when you really don’t have time to deal with it. If you aren’t already working with my friend Alex Liebeskind, you should look into this.

It’s especially nice if you use multiple computers, and ANY kind of smartphone. The Basic package is free.
I backup 30 GB constantly and they are synced between two computers as well. I pay $4.99 a month for peace of mind.

Best of all you can give someone a URL to a big file which they can download.
It’s good stuff.

Check it out now…

I built this for a presentation last week, but I’ve had lots of requests to see it again. This is a demonstration of how a web site is built using WordPress.

WordPress has been updated again. This time with some interesting new features.

Really there are two keys that will make managing you site easier.

1. Vastly easier linking within a site

2. A handy administrator bar to speed navigation while updating a site

There are also hundreds of minor improvements under the hood, but item 1 and 2 above are the ones that will help you out every day.

New intra site link example

I found a nice explanation of how to use the new linking feature here. Basically when you are editing a page or a post, you can easily highlight a word or picture, click on link and then search your own site for a post or a page to link to. Click! and you’re done.

The other helpful addition is an administrator bar that stays at the top of the screen while working on your site. This is really handy when you are reviewing the pages of your site and you want to jump in and edit a page, or just straight to the dashboard, or even review comments left on your site.

I might note that the Admin bar seems to have redraw issues with Google chrome. It draws the bar on the screen multiple times.
