TrafficGauge Mobile Traffic Map

Someone in my office sent me a link to this new product called “TrafficGauge” (www.TrafficGauge.com). It’s a very interesting little device, I must admit. It gives you a real-time traffic report for major freeways and it updates every 4 minutes to show you which roads are jammed up, to save you time and gas. It’s about the size of a PDA and costs right under $80 dollars. It’s currently available for Seattle traffic, San Francisco Bay Area traffic, and Southern California traffic in Orange County and Los Angeles.

TrafficGauge device offers real-time traffic anytime, anywhere with the TrafficGauge handheld, TrafficGauge for Cell, TrafficGauge for PC, TrafficGauge for Widget Suite and TrafficGauge for iPhone. Each product or service offers simple to use and easy to read traffic maps. These maps are the best in the industry. The device is an award winning, customer-loving favorite for navigating traffic in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The cell phone and PC/Mac software is free and works in most major metropolitan markets.

New LCD Monitor

I went to my girlfriends brothers birthday get together over the weekend and had a pretty good time. My girlfriend and I got him a new LCD monitor from Buy.com for his computer. We got a pretty good deal on the monitor and the quality and durability of the monitor is great. It feels very solid, not cheap like some other LCD monitors ive personally seen.

Check out Buy.com if youre looking for a good deal on a new monitor, they have quite a few to choose from.

Convert Videos and DVDs for your iPod

I tried this new iPod DVD converter software the other day and it really seems to work great. I personally use a DVR similar to Tivo to record tv shows and such, then I burn them to dvd and watch them later so I can watch a few episodes at a time, one after another.

This software makes it handy to convert those shows that I record so that I can put them on my iPod and watch them on the go.

The software is called “PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Suite” and it’s available on PQDVD.com. You can try the software for free or purchase the entire package which consists of two different programs for only $39.95.

Check it out if youre looking for an easy and affordable way to save your favorite videos, TV shows and DVD movies onto your iPod without paying monthly or individual fee’s to use services like iTunes.

Network Cables

Last night I setup a network between my 3 home computers with some leftover network cables from my office. They just redid our whole computer network and then let me take what was left over from the job. The cables came in very handy and saved me a few bucks at the same time! I believe they purchased the cables through CableMegaStore.com.

I still have plenty leftover, though. I bet I ended up with over 500 feet worth of cables. Not bad considering my computers are all within 10 feet of eachother. I guess I’ll keep the extra for a rainy day.

The New Era in VoIP

Over the past several years, phone service and internet service have evolved and combined into a single service called VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol.

They offer “IP Xtreme”, which is a VoIP phone system for 1 – 32 users, “Vertical unPBX” which is a phone system for unlimited users, high speed internet and vpn services, and call center solutions.

The new era of business communications is here, don’t get left behind. Visit their website at www.XpanderCommunications.com to read more about their VoIP Small Business Phone Systems and the other services they offer.

Another Hard Drive Bites The Dust

One of my computer hard drives went out about a week ago. I had only been using it for a couple of months. Thats the last time I buy Maxtor. Ive had 3 of their hard drives go out in very short time. My Western Digital drives are still going strong, even the ones from 3 years ago. I just put in a Western Digital 300gb SATA-II drive to replace the one that crashed.

The lesson here: Don’t buy Maxtor. Ever.
