Ski-zeilen / Ski-sailing

keep pushing the limits….
The world would be a better place if we could ski in the mountains in the morning and then drive down to the beach in the afternoon

That’s based on a line from the classic Fawlty Towers, but it makes the point well. Why not squeeze as much out of life as possible, choose your favourite things and do it.

After all you only get out of life what you put in.

The Internet has become such a big part of our life that actually we almost depend on it.
How many of us don’t: check our email, read the news, check Facebook or Tweet at least once a day?

Traditional forms of communication: Newspapers, TV, Radio & Telephones, are all on available online, and the Internet provides them, with in some cases, a more natural home for these services. No tree’s need to be chopped down to read the Times newspaper online & you can watch your favourite TV show on your PC at a time that best suites you.

Even day to day activities like shopping have become more popular online in recent times.

Could you live without the internet for a month? Yup
Perhaps the real question should be: Why would you want to?

Everyone loves Dilbert, he sums up office and cubical life perfectly.

Take a look at these Dilbert cartoons, in the first Dilbert shows how to deal with difficult management requests, and in the second we are introduced to the ‘Bungee Boss’.

Enjoy.

More and More people are using Internet Based Video conferencing tools, like Skype, to keep in touch with friends and family across the world.

Unfortunately in most cases the video quality on these calls isn’t brilliant. Low quality cameras or poor internet connections can lead to low frame rate videos or poor image quality. Even if you buy a camera described as HD (like the Microsoft Cinema or Logitech Pro 9000) , most people’s home broadband connections aren’t capable of delivering high frame HQ video, but there is an option, the FV touchcam N1

The faceVsion is the world’s first Skype certified webcam capable of delivering full screen 720p streaming video over the Internet, it achieves this by using High Quality H.264 encoding, which compress HD video to a size where it can be compressed down small enough to be delivered over a normal home broadband Internet connection.

The FV touchcam also features a 78 degree super wide angle lens with fast auto-focus, allowing several people to comfortably get into the same picture, allowing families to chat without having to move the camera between people or swapping seats.The Touchcam is also easy to install and connects through a USB 2.0 connection.

So if you want to see your family in crystal clear HD quality on skype then the FV ExpressCombo can be purchased through the faceVision on line store and other value added partners.

Cats are clever and cunning creatures, but every now and again they come up second best.

Check this Simon’s Cat Cartoon entitled Snow Business, where Simon’s Cat experiences Snow for the first time.

Snow takes some getting used to, so I’m sure the cat will get the upper hand next time.

There is definite move from fixed desktop computing to Mobile Computing.

Smartphones allow you to perform most daily computer tasks anywhere, and allow Bloggers or writers to be creative anywhere.

The iPhone range of phones are popular but often the price puts potential users off.

Three have just announced their prices for both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3gs, and by opting to provide the device on 2 year contracts the initial pricing is cheaper. This will open the door to users original put off by the high outlay.

With 3′s iPhone pricing you can pick up a 3gs for no initial outlay, and an iPhone 4 for only £99 pound upfront on a £30 a month contract, or free on a £45 pound a month contract
