Look out acne… ThermaClear is here!

ThermaClear is the latest and greatest in the expanding arsenal of breakout busters. Developed by a laser physicist, ThermaClear is similar to laser treatment devices used by dermatologists to treat acne. Using a proprietary technology, it delivers a controlled burst of heat directly to the pimple which neutralizes the core problem of the evil red spot: bacteria, preventing things from growing uglier. The heat therapy also speeds healing, making those nasty zits disappear faster.

Haven’t we all at one point or another wished for one device that can perform the function of several? The Cooltone Mini Fridge is an example of the extremity of such thinking.

The Cooltone seems to have originally started off as a fridge, but looks like the makers just went nuts with the superfluities along the way. How else would you explain the ludicrous add-ons? First comes a digital CD player fixed right on top of the fridge. Next, a digital FM radio with built-in snooze alarm. Next again, sockets to connect your iPod or headset. Still counting? Then add that remote control (of course!) to manage all this and we are just about done.

The free Pinger service solves a whole host of problems and inconveniences you encounter with both text and voice messaging on cell phones. If you use your cell phone for work, or have a busy social or family life, the benefits of Pinger are immediately obvious. Basically, Pinger sends your voice messages via text, allowing you to leave messages for people without calling their cell phones, and to send messages to groups of people with a single call.

Sometimes referred to as “audio text messaging,” Pinger is fast and simple to set up (it took me about 2 minutes to register and input my first few names), and works like this: You call the Pinger phone number, hear “Who do you wanna message?”, say the name of the person, then record your message. The recipient gets a text message that prompts them to dial the Pinger local number (which they can do by pressing their call button, no need to manually dial) to retreive your message. Because you don’t encounter layers of prompts or inputting of passwords, it’s painless to shoot off messages like this all day long, and equally painless to receive them.

It’s a handy tool when:

As a kid, the catchy, familiar “Clap On, Clap Off” jingle and technology amazed me. To be able to have total control over the lights with a simple hand motion basically equated to my concept of modern technology . . . awesome. I always urged my thrifty mother to take the dive and give it a try; I mean, it was the solution to so many problems! She never did, and I therefore have continued my quest in search of a more modern, less foolish, similar device.

Since its market debut two years ago, INSTEON has been a control geek’s best friend. Its clever, award-winning technology enables users to control lights and appliances remotely via a plug-in controller. Now your non-geek friends and family can enjoy INSTEON too, thanks to the introduction of new accompanying technology called “RemoteLinc.”

So much for man’s best friend.

Designer Buro Vormkrijgers probably won’t be at the next PETA meeting, not after creating this speaker-for-a-head 20″ tall dog. He’ll likely also skip the next Salvation Army gathering, as something tells me that anyone charging $900 for two decapitated speaker dogs won’t be welcomed with open arms.

The Woofer Speaker System is available now in black and white.

There’s lots of stuff you can find on the Internet. Finding a job isn’t too out of the ordinary either with sites like Monster, HotJobs and CareerBuilder.

A guy just bid for a walk-on part in an upcoming Will Ferrell movie on eBay and won. He had to bid $47,100 for the honor and it’s not even a main role.

The winner of the eBay online auction asked to remain anonymous, according to a statement from San Diego-based Cancer for College, which awards scholarships to current and former cancer patients.

The 10-year-old will be able to meet the stars on the set of movie “Step Brothers” and appear as an extra in the movie.

If I had an extra $47,000 laying around I can’t imagine using it to win this auction. Of course, I can’t even comprehend having that much money just laying around waiting to be spent either.

This guy really wouldn’t want to have heard my post last week about the guy who wrote a bedtime song based on Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

Funny none the less.

I tell you I was born a couple of decades too late! Mainstream blogging didn’t even exist when I was looking at heading to college, much less a scholarship for doing it.

If you’re a blogger and heading towards pursuing some college course credits, you may check-out this site and get some cash in your pocket for those outrageous book fees!

We believe passion is important. As the world gets more competitive, those who are passionate about what they do, and work close to their passions, will be able to become and stay successful even as technology and automation eat away at many business models. Those who are willing to share their experiences with the world help make the world a better place, even if most bloggers only consider blogging a hobby.

The Blogging Scholarship

Make it quick though, entries are due on October 6th.

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to figure out the value of importing various calendars in the iCal format, but now I can say I see the light.

I was recently playing around with my Outlook settings after starting to migrate everything to my laptop to be the new computer home base for my life. This was a migration away from the family desktop that gets shared with my wife and two kids who are spending more and more time on the computer.

Anyway, part of that was also related to playing around with Outlook calendars as I was synching them to my phone. I then saw the opportunity in Outlook 2007 to import and synchronize an iCal format into my other calendars display.

That led me to remembering to try my Google calendar which led me to look for other calendars that might be available and that led me to the iCalShare website. If you’re needing a calendar for something, there’s probably a close version of it on this website.

One of the key components that piqued my interest is all the TV related calendars that are available with episodes and special information. You just browse to the calendar you want, copy the path to the iCal file format and insert it into your Outlook. It really couldn’t get much easier.

Now if I could only figure out how to find more time to actually do everything that’s on my calendars.

Visit iCalShare and uncover what’s going on that interests you!
