I'm not one to rave about objects very often, but I got a present for my birthday that is simply awesome. My
husband and I went to Best Buy a couple weeks ago, and I decided to get a new case for my RAZR cell phone. I found one that looked interesting, the Cliphanger, so I picked it up for 10.00.
This case is just awesome. The one I purchased is the hard case with the clip built in, which protects my phone and adds the convenience of being able to clip or hang it anywhere. I have a horrible habit of losing my phone in the bottom of my purse, in the couch cushions, in my truck…you name it. However, I don't think I've lost it once with this nifty little case. I just clip it on my purse strap when I'm not using it, and I never have to worry about it falling off, getting lost or left behind while I shop or do pretty much anything else, since my purse is always with me. When I am at work, I just hang it on a little clip above my desk, and plug it in to my USB cable to charge.
In case you are wondering, the Cliphanger is not very bulky; it might add a couple ounces of weight and about a half centimeter of thickness to the phone…not really enough to complain about, given the convenience of it.
I am seriously thinking about getting one for my Ipod. It's the best thing I've bought in quite some time!!
(In no particular order)
FoxIt PDF Reader: I have always hated opening PDF files, simply because of the bloatware needed to open them. You download a huge file, install it, then wait for a shiny splash screen to load every time you click on a PDF file. Thank goodness for FoxIt. The tiny free reader (about 1.5mb) is as fast and functional as it is small.
IrfanView: I could sing the praises of IrfanView all day long. For quick photo editing, batch renaming or resizing, or even watching video clips, IrfanView is definitely the best program out there for the job. Plus, it's free!
Firefox: That's a given.
FlashFXP: The best FTP client I've ever used. It's not free, but it's well worth the cost of purchasing it.
Bloglines: Wonderful feedreader, it helps me stay up-to-date on all the news and content from the blogs and comics I enjoy. A simple, clean interface and ease of use makes Bloglines the best RSS reader out there.
This is too cool. There are a lot of TV listing sites out there, but most of them are complicated, ad-heavy or require membership. Couchville is just the opposite. It's simple, clean and user-friendly, making the search for when your favorite show will be on a breeze. You simply type in your zip code, choose the provider then find your show or channel. No complicated sign up procedure, no confusing bells or whistles.
From the site:
Couchville's vision is to provide a simple and effective website for information about TV shows.
See? Simple.
