Every week I put together a snapshot of buying trends and product innovations for my co workers. Now that I have the blog I thought I'd share it with everyone!
Cool Internet Stuff
This week I discovered Google Earth, the latest ingenious service brought to us by those crazy kids at Google. Google Earth provides satellite maps of the entire globe. You can type in your address or an island in the Indian Ocean and it will show it too you. It also shows you every Starbucks. Wow.
The other fun site I visited is called The Name Voyager a. The site ranks the 1000 most popular baby names since the 1800's. You can type in your name or your co workers name (like Fred) and find out that his name hasn't been popular for over 100 years!
Geek Alert
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been going on all week and a lot of cool new products have been previewed. Samsung presented both the largest LCD screen ("82) and the first Wireless Broadband (WiBro) phone. Pioneer introduced the "inno", the first portable XM2go radio.
Some Things are too Small
There are now three miniscule Bluetooth headsets available. Nokia's is 9 grams, Motorola's and the Bluespoon's are both 5 grams. These little tiny wireless buds fit into your ear and are so compact they are sure to be lost in under 60 seconds.
Okay, that's all for this weeks Merch Report
