GMRS Two Way Radios Are Great For Outdoor Activities

January 15th, 2010   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under Uncategorized  

With pride, you just climbed Mt. Livermore in West Texas and you take a breath to savor the moment, then the thought hits you that you should take a picture with your cell phone and send it to all your friends, who didn’t want to come along, saying, “Look at this view.” As you are filling in your contacts, you are thinking how jealous they will be that they had not decided to join you. The only friend that did join you was lagging way behind. You push send and then you notice, you have no service. You can’t send a message, and you can’t call your friend who is trying to catch up with you. You should have gotten a GMRS radio.

While you can’t send a picture or a text message from a GMRS radio, you could have connected with your friend who was stopping along the way to take pictures. Instead, all you could do was sit and wait because you have no idea if he was walking in your exact footprints or not. Maybe you shouldn’t have moved so fast to get to the top. Regardless, a radio that can go the distance is needed at this moment.

The GMRS radio weighs next to nothing and fits into your pocket. It can reach anyone with another radio up to 2 miles away. The only costs are the radio themselves, a license, and the batteries it will need to run on. You can get an FRS radio with no license, but you will less maximum power available and you less range of distance between radios. While the GMRS radio can be modified to extend their range past the typical 2 miles, the FRS cannot be modified legally. The license you purchase is a 5 year renewable one and the reason behind it is to keep the operator responsible for using the device correctly, either for recreational activities or just for family advantages.

There are also several two way radio accessories available. You can get battery chargers, carrying cases, and headsets to name a few.

There are certainly advantages to having one of these radios handy. A GMRS radio is the handheld radio of choice because it has greater range and greater power. It will not let you down when needed.

Bluetooth headsets

November 21st, 2009   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under Uncategorized  

anything that you think is good looking. basically all Bluetooth Headsets,  and Cell Phone Accessories, work in the same manner. however, i read an article in my college magazine once that was advertising “bluetooth enabled sunglasses” by oakleys. Try browsing for those. They were pretty hot. they had an inbuilt bluetooth on the sunglasses. Thats the only speciality on bluetooth that I have heard though. So, other than oakleys, I would say go for any cheap bluetooth headset that looks good and make your lady happy

if two bluetooth headsets compatible for phones. it should pair them up. how to pair bluetooth headset with cell phone bluetooth

I want to have to bluetooth head sets linked to my iphone, so i can listen to music in both ears instead of just one. I dont like using wired headphones, so can a buy to bluetooths (preferably the apple one) and link them both to my iphone or macbook? Will the sound come from both headsets
 the answer is yes You would need bluetooth headphones that support A2DP Bluetooth Profile. Buy yourself a pair of Stereo Bluetooth Headphones and get the music rockin’!
I can make calls just fine but it won’t send audio through the earpiece from streaming or from on the phone.
I have an old phone that was part of an account that got shut down by verizon. I now use the pre-paid plan?
the answer is
depends
if your old phone is a sim card and if your previous phone is a simcard
if your old one isn’t and this one is then no.
but if there both not simcards you can unlock your phone to use it. it cost about 15 dollars to be done.

Why Use Free Website Hosting?

July 23rd, 2009   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under Uncategorized  

With website hosting fees so low these days, why spend time looking for free website hosting?  Some hosts charge only $3.99 per month, with no minimum or advance payment, for a single domain. 

For as little as $5.95 per month, you can even find unlimited website hosting, including all the “extras” - blog installation, unlimited MySQL and email accounts, Joomla, shopping cart, and much more.  Usually these low fees mean you need to pay for a year in advance, but it can be worth it not to worry about details and monthly payments once your sites are set up.

Many hosts will also provide domain registration services, sometimes at a discount, but often with free add-ons like private registration if you go through their service.  With so many features, be sure you’re doing an apples to apples comparison before you sign up.

As for the free website hosting services, they usually do not offer unlimited websites hosting, or use of your own domain (for free that is - you can usually do it if you pay extra), nor will you find the type of blog, MySQL, or other features that are so easily found at nearly every other host. Why get a site started only to find out later you can’t build it to your specifications due to these limitations?  For just $5 to $10 a month, get everything you need when you need it!

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Wind Power

July 16th, 2009   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under Uncategorized  

It is natural that anyone who is intent on constructing their own wind turbine for the generation of electric power should be concerned with the possible advantages and disadvantages of wind power.

 The quickest and easiest means of creating domestic wind power would be to purchase commercially manufactured wnd turbine.  However the price of these machines is generally out of reach the average family person.

 Shopping around for the various components with which to build a wind turbine could be seen as a disadvantage by some people whereas others would view this as a rather pleasant pastime especially when they take into account the enormous cost saving that results.

 Another disadvantage can be the great disparity in wind speeds and direction, and meteorological data in this respect needs to be studied closely in the decision-making process.

 The aesthetic value of a domestic wind power turbine turbine is certainly questionable, but then so is that of a TV antenna; and that certainly doesn’t stop the vast majority of people from running a television set.  It is also worth noting that watching a television set costs money, whereas a wind turbine has the opposite effect—that of saving money

 But there’s no doubt of the greatest advantage of harvesting natural wind power is the important part that is played in the reduction of CO2 and consequently of the greenhouse effect.

 It seems then that due consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of wind power would sway the average person to believe that saving money with a wind turbine is preferable to being indebted to the power utility companies.

May 22nd, 2009   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under General  

Small laptop computers have come to the market after the usage of large computers in the beginning. These small computers are a boon to all of us in the digital technology industry.  In recent history, new technologies invade and overtake the previous inventions and designs rather quickly.  Netbooks are no different.  Today these small laptops can hold as much computing power and memory as their former counterparts..namely traditional laptops.Not only that, but because of their small structure and size, they are fast becoming the preferred choice of people from many walks of life.   Primarily, most people find that these mini laptops are really good at  wireless communication including internet browsing requirements. They also come in handy when travelling or even as a "backup" laptop.  Students especially appreciate these light weight laptops as hauling around a 10 lb computer in your backpack all day gets very old, very fast.  If you havent’ seen or heard about netbooks yet, do yourself a favor and check them out at your local retail store. Or if you prefer, to get more information first, use the internet to search and find the best models and styles that suit your taste.

My Doctor is Hip! Her Small Netbook Laptop rocks!

May 3rd, 2009   Print This Post Print This Post   Filed Under General  

On my last visit to my doctor, I entered the office uninspired.  It was a normal yearly checkup and a physical.  Nothing extraordinary about that.  However after my doctor entered the room I was staged in, my eyes perked up like a 7 year old girl trapped in an American Girl store.  

In she walked with a brand new shiny HP netbook.  It was beautiful!  I of course had no interest in any medical condition she wanted to question me on.  Instead I bombarded her with questions on her small laptop.  You see….she carries it with her all around the office.  It contains a custom Visual Basic application that is the front end of her office’s server farm.   The netbook weighs only 3 lbs and she whips around with it like its a second phone.   All my patient data is only  3 clicks away.  She showed me how she uses it and enters in notes, saves them, and uploads it back to the server.  Wow!   I had no idea she was so cool. 

 Evidently the "old days" of taking physical notes about patients are over…at least for her practice.  It got me thinking…This is a GREAT use for netbooks.  These small laptops are perfect for a large doctors office..   She says she sees about 30-40 patients a day…imagine how much paperwork that would be using the "old way"! Now she literally walks from one waiting room to another taking along her netbook.  She takes down medical notes, updates information, and can even pull up real time medication information from the office’s wireless internet connection. Very nice use of technology…wouldn’t you agree?  

If you’re a small business owner, a student, a business traveler, or even a doctor,  these new class of ultra portable laptops are impressive.  I mean if my doctor can run her entire practice using these little gadgets, then I’m sure  others can make use of their portability, usability, and impressive features too.

It turns out my trip to the doctor was far more enjoyable than I thought.  In fact, I can’t wait to go back next year to see what great technology they are using then.  You might  say my yearly check will be  "Just what the doctor ordered"  ;-)
