Fon on its way….

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Today I got a call from the courier… My Fonera is on it’s way. They tried to deliver at my house, but I was not there. Now I will get it coming friday…at work.

Can’t wait!!

Coming soon on the Fonera photo gallery?

[edit: sorry, I am afraid I did wet my pants ;-) . Not because I get a kick from the device itself, though it is nice (for sure not it's antenna - I want it strong and healthy!), but we're talking sharing the Internet again!!
And yes I would love to have a stronger antenna, but not at that price... Sorry! (I intended to order it together with the La Fonera, but the price stopped me on that.
Martin, you know where to send one! ;-) ]

fon will make the world go round…

Order La Fonera

…the world go round…

…at least, that is what I hope for!

What is it all about? Well, just like the old skool Internet rules: SHARE!!!

fon wants you to share your internet connection with the world. In return you will be able to have a wi-fi connection all over the globe at spots where other Foneros live.

When I am on the road – and this is not that often anymore – I want to be able to have a wireless connection at a reasonable price.
But this seems to be impossible. The big telco’s want earn money with wi-fi, and I mean loads of money.
I am prepared to pay, but don’t like to be squeezed out…

I did order the fon social router, La Fonera, last week!

I hope you will do the same! It will cost you $ 5 or € 5 (okay, excluding shipping and tax (€ 10 + € 2-something in Europe) but this is still only € 17 as an investment for the future!) ORDER HERE!
[!!! THIS € 5 OFFER HAS ENDED ON 8TH NOVEMBER 2006 !!!]

You still ask why? I like to share, don’t you?!

[Google and Skype did invest in fon, just you know]

Where is my Mylo?

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Daydreaming about the Sony Mylo that may not be coming to Europe. I am afraid I have to import it from the US. Rediculous.

It becomes time that Sony Japan and Sony USA understand that Europe is an important market for them too.

I was slavering about the Mylo here before.

Dangerous adult toys

Friday, September 8th, 2006

Toy

Greenpeace is, besides to their concern for our environment, very concerned about our sexlife!! You wouldn’t think this of them…

The local Dutch branch of the environmental lobby organisation has had some adult toys tested by a major laboratory (TNO). The laboratory did find out that most of these toys for girls and boys contained the softening agent phthalates in high concentrations, 21 to 51 percent (!).

This is very much NOT HEALTHY!

You will find the English language report here.
The text on the website is Dutch, but the report is in English.

I want my Mylo…

Mylo is Sexy!

…and I want it NOW!!

For some time I was thinking about a Sony PSP to play with (and because sexy as hell!), but NOT for games… I hate games!
I didn’t buy it because I had to tweak it to much to get the things I want.

I think my prayers are heard, because Sony will bring out the Mylo quite soon.

Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk on board to use over Wi-Fi… Better than the newest smartphones, but without the phone part. :-D

Coming soon to this theater… May I start slavering now?

[P.S. I forgot something: BLACK only!]
[P.P.S. I am in search of a sponsor ;-) ]
