The Vice President of Links

Get your iPod Touch/iPhone Obama 08 application here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/iphone. This app will tell you where the closest Obama office is and let you know any special Obama events. The app also will reorder your Contact list and add meta data around your friends in key battleground states.

Hate trying to search blogs? Google has felt your pain and has released a new Google Blog Search! You can read more here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/browse-what-world-is-saying-on-blog.html?loc=interstitialskip, and you can thank me later.

A new DS from Nintendo. Jordan and Diana love their DS's. I do not know if these are really any better. I like the actual internet wifi access on it. I like the bigger screen (it is only .25 inches). Things I do not like is the MUCH lower battery life, the MUCH higher price, and no more Gameboy Advance games. We have a bunch of GBA games that I still like to play on the DS. I will not be buying this. Read more here: http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nintendo-announces-the-dsi/

My new iPod Touch is still awesome, it just seems like the battery does not last as long as my other one. Of course, I do use it differently, I play games on it, and download new apps to see how they work. So the battery is probably the same, I am just a different user with this iPod. I think I could use this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/02/technology/personaltech/02solar.html?_r=1&ref=personaltech&oref=slogin. It is an iPhone case that doubles as a solar powered charger, I am sure it would work with my Touch. I love it!

I need my Flash on the web. My fantasy football site runs on Flash, so I can't check things out on my iPod Touch. I need it. It is finally (close) to coming. Here is the link: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/30/flash-seems-to-be-coming-to-the-iphone-but-is-that-a-good-thing/

Wii Lightsabers? I am in (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/86551-Wii-Lightsabers-Unleashed). I would get this, but I have already won the game, plus I already spent $70 on the game and strategy guide (that I hate and find completely un-helpful).

This (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9115340&intsrc=hm_ts_head) is a very interesting read onhow a desk job can wear your body down. I try not to do the afternoon snack thing, but I do head over to LDs desk too often for a Mr. Goodbar.

Not happy with your cell phone battery (mine seems to be lasting shorter and shorter times everyday)? Click the link: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122227478405571617.html and see what you can do to help yourself.
