USB Secret Diary

Back in the days when there were no computers, flash drives and internet, girls were also fond of keeping their own diaries.  They would even put locks on it, so no one could read it.  Now, it’s an entirely different story, writing diary-style is now called “blogging”.  You don’t have to lug around your diary everytime you go out, because we already have the Secret Diary USB.  And since it is called a secret diary, it means that only the owner can have access to it.  Before you can open it, you have to enter your personalized PIN code.  In case you use other computers, it has a “traceless” data entry, which won’t leave any data that you have entered into that computer and it’s also hack-proof.  And if you need to back-up your entries, you have the option to register to their Never Lost subscription and they will retain your entries for you.  So you don’t have to worry if ever you loose your Secret Diary or if ever it gets stolen.

For such a small gadget, it is packed with awesome features.  Not only can you put your diary entries or blogs here, you can also customize them, since there are a lot of backgrounds, text styles and colors that you can use to decorate your entries or blogs.

Other features of the Secret Diary include the Fortune Cookie, which can give advices and tell fortunes; My Stars to rate your entries; Thinking Deep to help you decide on what to write about; the Dream Catcher analyzes your dreams.

All these for a very reasonable price of $59.95.

DYMO Disc Painter

I’ve always wished I could get a nice disc printer, the one that prints like a professional did it.  I mean, I can also print CDs with my own design using the D-I-Y CD label kit or sticker, but the graphic will never be the same as the ones that we buy in record stores.  Now, with the DYMO Disc Painter, you can print your own high quality graphics directly into the disc (not on paper or sticker).

The DYMO Disc Painter can print up to 1200 dpi, giving great quality to your graphics.  You can also adjust the print settings to best (1200 dpi), normal and in case you are in a hurry, you can adjust the print setting to fast, which can print on your disc for only 60 seconds, for the 600 dpi quality.  If you want to produce even better results, the ink density can also be adjusted to give superior detail and color to your graphics.  The user is also given the option to choose the quality of the disc surface, such as matte, glossy or color.

In just three easy steps, you can create a personalized CD or DVD.  First, you have to make your own design, using either Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXpress, InDesign or Sure Thing.  After you have made your design, you can now insert the disc into the printer.  Adjust the printer settings and then you can print on your disc.

Not like other disc printers, the DYMO Disc Painter uses the Radical Print Technology, which means that the disc is printed while it spins, thus producing excellent quality prints.

This would be a good investment.  You can now start your small business with the Dymo DiscPainter CD/DVD Color Printer

Sony Ericsson C905 – The Gr8!

Do you think you’ve got the latest gadget with your 5.0 megapixel camera-phone?  Then, think again, because Sony Ericsson has just announced a new addition to their handheld phones – the new Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot.  It is packed with an 8.1 megapixel camera with XENON flash, which makes it produce clearer and crisper pictures.

This camera-phone measures 4.1×1.9×0.7 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces, making it look a bit thicker than the usual handset. Available colors are Night Black, Ice Silver and Copper Gold.

One feature of the C905 which amazes me is the Best Pic, which can take 8 pictures in quick succession with just one click.  Allowing you to choose the best picture taken and then delete the rest afterwards.  And for those who can’t keep their hands steady everytime they take pictures, resulting to blurred images, the Anti-blur Technology corrects that with its image stabiliser.  The C905 is also equipped with Wi-Fi allowing you to easily send and post pictures directly from the phone.

The C905 handset boasts being their first phone to support Sony Ericsson’s Project Capuchin API and also their first Cyber-shot slider-style phone.

Additional features are the quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, bluetooth, USB, FM radio with media player, HSDPA, which speeds up downloading larger files and email attachments, smart contrast, face detection, autofocus, aGPS which supports Google Maps and Wayfinder, red-eye reduction and the scratch-resistant 2.4 inch screen.

I’ve read a lot of nice reviews about previous Sony Ericsson models, but this is the best so far.  This is definitely the phone to look out for.  You still have a few more months to save up for this phone, since it will be available in the market on the 4th quater of 2008.  So, wouldn’t you like to have the Sony Ericsson C905 for Christmas?

CPR Flashlight

Would you believe that this flashlight can save lives?  Yes, it’s just a flashlight, but it can help you provide CPR when you most need it.  This flashlight will talk you through the entire CPR procedure.  This gadget can be very helpful especially for those who doesn’t have CPR training, for it will guide them on the step-by-step procedure of CPR.  And even if someone is CPR certified, he/she might forget some of the steps during an emergency situation.

It’s very easy to use this gadget.  To use the flashlight, simply press the green button.  To access the CPR instructions, just press the “ON/OFF” button and the instructions will begin.  You will then be asked to choose the age of the patient, for which you have choices for ADULT (A button), BABY (B button) and CHILD (C button).  After you have chosen the specific button, the voice will then prompt you to call 911, then it will ask you to check for the vital signs of the patient, like the patient’s consciousness, breathing and pulse.  Then, you will be told to press the CPR (red) button and the CPR instructions will begin. You also have the option to use the PAUSE (yellow) button in case the instructions are too fast for you.

Step-by-step CPR Flashlight Procedure

Now, you can do something during those unfortunate times when you encounter an emergency situation and CPR is needed.  Always remember that in an emergency situation, every second counts.

If you’re wondering what’s worth buying with your hard earned money, then I suggest you get yourself one of this.  I highly recommend that you keep this gadget in your bag, car or medicine cabinet at home.  At a very affordble price of $35.98, you might be able to save a life with this device.
