Start off the New Year with an iPod shuffle [Contest]
Last week the guys over at Golden Shellback, who make “splashproof” coatings for gadgets, sent me a 1GB silver iPod shuffle (splashproofed, of course). Since I already have an iPhone to listen to my tunes on I thought it would be fun to give it away here on the site! The “contest” is going to be very simple:
1. Leave a comment telling me what your New Year’s resolution is.
2. Post before Dec. 31st, 2008 at 11:59 PM EST.
3. I’ll randomly select one of the comments via number generator!
Please make sure to use a valid email address in the email field when you’re posting so I can contact you. I’ll give you a couple of days to respond… if you don’t, I’ll pick another random number. Good luck!
Disclaimer: Golden Shellback did not ask me to blog this, nor have I received any kind of compensation for this post. This is simply a contest to say “thank you” to my readers and to spread a little holiday cheer!

Get in on the StarCraft II beta action!
about 6 months ago - 33 comments
The Zerg Overmind must be smiling down on me, because a few days after I received my StarCraft II beta invite another key popped into my inbox! The first must have been for press, while the second came from attending BlizzCon a couple of years ago. To any extent, I have one to give away!

Close iPhoto. 2. Locate your iPhoto Library under User/Pictures/iPhoto Library. 3. Copy the folder by right-clicking or Ctrl-clicking. 4. Paste

The iPhone app organizer I would love to see
about 1 year ago - 33 comments
Back in September I blogged about how an app organizer would have been a nice (and logical) addition to iTunes. Gizmodo posted a concept video today showing how that functionality could be integrated into the existing iTunes design. I can’t find much more information about the creator of the video (YouTube user svdomer09) but I
Apple in the handheld gaming world
about 1 year ago - 26 comments
I was listening to the gdgt roundtable this morning, and they started talking about the iPhone / iPod Touch as a gaming device. Josh Topolsky insisted that Apple was trying to drink Sony and Nintendo’s milkshakes, while Ryan said that Apple is just going for the “value add” of having games. This got me thinking

i resolve to be nicer to people this year.
anyways, i happened to stumble on this while editing your profile on the buzz town wiki (i’m not a stalker… i was just placing some old present tense items into their proper past tense and correcting some minor grammar issues)
but very cool… i also have an iphone, so if i were to win, this will be going to my 5 year old nephew. being “shellbacked” will definitely give it a fighting chance at living longer than a week in his hands.
and thanks for keeping me entertained over the past 3 years with your contributions while at CNET, Mahalo Daily, and now Tekzilla.

I’ve only kept one new year’s resolution ever: to never eat green pepper again. That was ten years ago. I stopped smoking three weeks ago. For 2009, my hope is that the world gets out of the financial mess it finds itself in, that people live within their means and that greed and violence end. But those are hopes. I resolve not to add to the greed and violence if it must exist. Oh, and also to cut down on chocolate and not to reach for a cola when I go out for lunch. Forget the chocolate. I’m cutting down on the cola. There, I said it.
