Business card style USB memory

Now here is a clever idea, a USB memory device that is about the same size as a business card. The obvious (to me at least) would be as a portfolio vehicle for artists and designers. Just remember to make a Mac and a PC version and include return postage and your ready to wow the future clients.

Doggy Player

This could be a cool toy to have around, maybe… The display on its head is polychromatic and does tricks and what not so it will give you nice visuals while playing your tunes in addition to moving about a bit. But thats not all! It can make up it’s own ‘music’ from an internal supply of clips. As long as it won’t walk off my desk it could be pretty cool if you set it to ‘trance’ and go to work on some OT at the office.
(I think that the name will change if it ever to be sold here, Apple may say that ‘iDog’ dilutes the ‘iMac’ name….)
The site is in Japanese and in Flash so translating it is of little use (I hate sites like that… When will there be a language translator for Flash pages?). You can get some pretty good looking wall papers of the iDog but they are compressed in .lzh (!) format, so you might have to hunt for a proggy to handle it.
idog???????

PHP, Fun for the Whole Family!

I have been reading a book on PHP in a hope of unlocking the secrets to slick web site creation (yeah, right!). So far I’m reading “PHP in Easy Steps” by Mike McGrath. I picked it up at Bookstar for $4 so the price was right. 😛
My site uses PHP that is linked to a MySQL database for the blog and the gallery so i want to know how it works. So far I have been getting by with using pre-made code for things but I want to do more.
I found a few links:
