If Only I Had It

An ultra small prototyped PC, which might not be the world’s smallest, but it could be the lightest, has been revealed by Lenovo at CES 2008 last week. The ultra small prototyped PC weighs only 300g and it employs the “Menlow” - the new platform that Intel Corp is planning to launch in 2008. The ultra small PC runs Linux as the OS. It targets startup time of 20 seconds with easy menu icons for internet ,entertainment, and Home are to be displayed on the startup screen.

The specifications of the ultra small PC at a glance is as follows:

It is equipped with 45nm process “Silverthorne (development code name)” microprocessor, a 4 or 8-Gbyte SSD and a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 resolution LCD display. A wireless LAN, Bluetooth and EDGE or TDS-CDMA are supported. Continuous operation of the embedded secondary battery extends to 4 hours when browsing Websites

Lenovo targets to release this small guy in China in mid 2008. And the pricing will be around $700 with tax included. And Lenovo has plans to move this little guy to other countries such as Japan.

Now this is a gadget that I would surely get if I could afford it. Hey guys if you are reading this please do sponsor me some tips so that I am able to purchase this beauty.

Are you notorious for your bad credit. Sometimes life is hard and you dont know what to do to get back up on your feet. Well look no further your financial future is what you make of it. Financial freedom is knocking on your door. Are you interested? Then read on.

The bad credit loans is the answer for you. The number of Americans with “bad credit” is on the rising daily. This site is a great resource to help you get back on your feet financially. They allows visitors to compare dozens of “bad credit” offers from major providers and find the best offer to fit their needs. And by making timely payments, consumers can start to rebuild their credit history and, perhaps, their financial future. What the heck are you waiting for as I said earlier here is an oppurtunity for you to stand up and do something . Then stand up and do it.

Beverly Hills the land of the beautiful people especially the girls. Man I have always remember Beverly Hills 90210 and I have always loved Brenda she is my childhood crush. Never having the ability to meet her in person I have always wondered what life would have been if I did. But now I know what is the secret to her beauty.

Have you heard of Nip/Tuck Rodeo Drive this is where you are able to get the perfect image that you have always wanted. Everyone wants to be beautiful, you cant help it but your image is important to yourself and everyone around you. An image does everything that you have ever dreamed of. An image is what gets the free drink flowing at your local bar. Havent you ever wondered why that guy or girl is getting the drinks while you are left aside with nothing? Look no firther than the mirror.

Beverly Hills rhinoplasty is the place to go when you want to get a nice job done and you get it exactly how you have imagined it for years. That nose on that girl has always caught my attention. Gosh I would just want to kiss it and dream of it all night long. Dont you want to be that girl. Well I want you to be that girl. Gosh as long as you are bautiful why not.

But if you are having a little self concious on the breast then I would recommend beverly hills breast augmentation the best place to go to get those double d’s you have always dreamed of or maybe it was me who was dreaming , doesnt matter. Well the latest news for today is that all these innovative plastic surgery center serves Los Angeles and Beverly Hills . So what else can you do but head down there and not to those sleazy joints in Thailand where the price is so cheap and the work is so great that even Michael’s nose job is falling off.

Flying boat? The one thousand and one question that comes into my mind is “Why do you need a boat that flies? Isn’t it a boat supposed to sail on water?”. Whether you like it or not, New Zealand inventor Rudy Heeman has created a flying boat that basically flies at a level of 1.5m above water instead of sailing on the water.

The guy spent about 800 hours in building this flying vehicle boat. And he’s been recklessly testing this flying vehicle boat. Anyway, this flying boat or vehicle doesn’t need you to have a pilot’s license to fly it , as it can’t rise above what’s called “ground effect” and is considered to be a maritime craft and falls under maritime law. That’s why it should be called a flying boat, and also it uses an air cushion which relies on water. The best is it definitely lets you travel in much higher speed than the boat that sails on water, as this flying boat can reach a speed of 98kmh.

Yes, the need for speed! It’s no joke. A remote controlled car isn’t kid’s matter anymore! This gas-powered RC car can reach speeds of 60MPH. Such a high-speed toy seems to be inappropriate to classify it as a toy or perhaps it would be more appropriate for you instead of for your kids. To control such as a high-speed RC car surely needs some skills or at least with firm and steady hands, which I think it’s simply not so easy for kids.

This RC car is a 1 to 5 scale replica of Ford GT. A Ford GT is well known for its speed on the road, which can reach a top speed around 200MPH or more. But this 1 to 5 replica is almost touching one third of the top speed of a real Ford GT. This RC car comes complete with an assembled chassis, 3-Channel FM Radio with built-in Fail-Safe mode. The car also sports 23cc engine, a 450cc fuel tank and a 15kg metal gear ratio. The 2WD and disc brakes make for better stopping. This RC car runs on a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke oil.

Haven’t you wished for a remote controller to move to next song in the playlist? It’s indeed irritating to get to your pc each time to adjust the singing volume. For those irritated folks, here is a remote controller which takes over all multimedia operations on your pc or laptop.

This multimedia remote controller is very similar to Front Row for Mac. This one for Windows PCs allows you to play songs, flip photos, present your power point slides and watch DVD from a distance of maximum 30 feet.

This USB media remote also features:

• Arrow, Enter, Back and Page keys to navigate Windows Media Center and give PowerPoint presentations.
• Volume Controls to crank the volume up and down in any Windows Program. E.g. PowerPoint, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Power DVD, Winamp…
• Media Controls to Play, Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind videos, DVD, live and recorded TV, even music.

This remote is never lost and is easily available as it is stored right inside your laptop in the PCMCIA slot. The design of the controller makes it protrude slightly from the slot making it easy to pull out.

This USB remote control offers support to Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and ME. You can even set the function of a key as one of your choice. The remote is powered by Lithium battery and comes with a dimension of 85.8×54.2×5.0mm

Do Follow Bloggers

This is a list of blogs that have removed the tags from the comment area on their blogs. By removing this tag, or using the Do Follow Wordpress plugin to remove the no follow tag, these bloggers are making the links that their visitors leave when they sign a comment count towards backlinks for their site.

The more “real” links that you have on websites, the better for your site as the engines will count these links towards your sites popularity and it might help boost your sites page rank too.

Update July 31: This site and our other blogs are now Using Lucia’s Linky Love do follow plugin. This is a wordpress plugin. I do not know of any plugins for other blogging platforms. There’s been a rash of human generated comment spam and this new plugin allows you to set how many comments a visitor needs to leave (with same domain url) before their comment link will follow. You can reward your regular loyal readers much better with this plugin.

Important - This site uses Lucia’s Linky Love plugin - that’s why the links do not follow for those who are visiting this site for the first time and have only left a couple of comments. I’ve been getting snarky comments lately about this site not following and that’s simply not true.

Note: Many of the comments below are from new visitors so they do not follow. If the person has become a regular visitor their comments will follow when they’ve left enough comments on this blog. - end Update

Leave a comment or send me an email (dragonden AT rogers DOT com) if you’d like to join the list. Please state in your email that you’d like to get on the blogroll. Some people just write to tell me that they are a Do Follow blogger and I’m not sure that they want to join the blogroll or not. LOL

I have an email with full instructions on adding a blogroll to a number of different types of blogging software, all you have to do is follow the directions!

You must not use the no follow tag, and you must be willing to place the blogroll on your site in order to join.

Your site should also have a fair amount of regular posts and not be too young. I’ve had a number of people asking to join the list and their site is brand new with only two or three posts. I want active sites on this list and a site with only a few posts on it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll still be posting in it next month. However a site that has three solid months of regular posts is probably written by a blogger who will continue to work on the site. So please, make sure your site has a lot of regular posts in it before you apply to join the list.

Also - if your site has comments closed to only registered members, only blogspot members or members of a particular site (ie xanga, livejournal) they cannot truly be considered a nofollow blog as the link would only go to their profile and not their actual site. Moderated comments are fine, but as I said, comments closed to site membership do not qualify.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m only accepting blogs on the blogroll - not websites. Your blog should also be written in English or have a large portion of English posts as the majority of Do Follow List members have blogs that are written in English.

Also, if you are leaving me a comment but haven’t yet added the blogroll to your site, or learned how to take the nofollow tags off your blog - please don’t include a list of your blogs in your comment. Comments that include several links go to spam and it’s a little more work to pull them out of spam and reply to them. Also .. if you list your sites I tend to check them .. if I don’t really have to do that yet I’d rather wait until you are all ready for me with blogroll and “follow” tags in place. Thanks!

This page was originally created in April of 2007, but I respond to the comments that are left almost daily. Do not be afraid that you are leaving a comment on an old post that won’t be read. I reply to almost all comments.

** Also, if by chance you join the list and decide to go back to being a nofollow blog at a later date please have the courtesy to tell me. Please?

If you’d like to use one of these logos above your copy of the blogroll, or in your link to your Do Follow blogroll page please feel free to save the one of your choice to your computer. Do not link to the image - that’s hotlinking and I will not appreciate it at all. Just right click over the image and save it to your computer and then upload it to your server. Ok?

here are your choices:

What differentiates your blog. What attracts people to blogs is more about the person behind the writing than the actual writing itself. Try checking out all the top blogs and they are personality driven. What I mean by that is it is the brand of the author that transcends the content itself. Of course the content goes a long way to developing the online brand of the author, but when it is established the content is less important.

I hesitate to say that it is the personal brand of the author, rather it is the online persona which is created and used to market the blog. This is why companies and corporations have a hard time blogging, it’s all about online personality, conversely this is why a lot of blogs are boring.

I’m sorry to say this, well not really. But most people are average, normal and boring. Not that there is anything wrong with that, some of my best friends are average, normal and boring. When it comes to reading something, people want a bit of spice, a bit of pazazz, even when it’s around factual based information.

Making money from blogging can be done, I havent made anything from this blog so far but I make a lot with it. Starting a blog these days, even in a narrow niche is difficult because of the amount of competition out there. A lot of the blogs espousing problogging as a way to get rich got their readership back in the days of when the it was all wide open plain and you could stick your flag in the ground and build your blog empire.

But a blog is a fantastic tool if you use it to market what you already have. The point is, there is an easier way to make money using a blog than simply picking a subject, slapping on the advertising and building a readership.

My point is, you can learn all the tricks in the books, learn everything about blogging there is to learn (it’s a good idea to do that), but at the end of you day it is YOU who will be making the difference. You will be the reason why people will come or ignore your blog.

Just because you want to be a blogger doesn’t mean you will be a good one. From looking at the amount of blogs out there I would say you have 1 chance in 100. In that for every 100 blogs started only one is worth it.

But if you have the cajones? If you have that little twinkle in your eye. If you simply wish to succeed no matter what it takes. You should remember your secret weapon. YOU!

Do not be afraid of leaking your personality all over your blog. I’m not. And yes it may mean objectivity may be compromised, but people do not go to a blog for dispassionate, bland facts and figures. They visit to read what someone has to say.

Whatever you say, say it with a little style, a little panache. Shout it from the rooftops. Make sure people know what you think. Dare to challenge the status quo. Stir it up a little, take on a bully or two.

Ultimately, be yourself.

It is true that often we may wish for some more(!) music in the toilet to execute things faster. Surely the extra noise can be added by placing a radio there. But who will remember to get one from the rack when you are rushing to the toilet.

This can be automated by installing toilet tunes into your bath room. The toilet tunes can play soothing jazz, Latin guitar, modern techno/pop for music, or even nature sounds like rain, ocean waves and a mountain stream.

This extra ordinary bath room entertainment system comprises of two separate units – a sensor and a player. The sensor has to be placed under the lid of the toilet seat, making it sense the lid up and down states.  Once the lid is up the music is on from the player end and the moment is goes down, the player switches off.

It will not consume more power than from a single C and three AAA batteries

Cant help it I have a heart for Japanese Girls

 
USB foot warmer is nothing new to us. But now Thanko has made it into a pair of Santa boots that definitely blends well with a complete set of Santa costume for the cold Christmas nights. The Santa boot takes power from your computer’s USB port. It’s the most suitable piece if you have no one invites you for Christmas party, just hook yourself up to your computer and put on this USB Santa boot to keep you warm. And start waiting till the next morning for your lovely Santa to drop by or maybe you could become the Santa to keep other lonely IM friends accompanied.
