New Show Time, CES

I knew it would come back to haunt me. After "working" a whole 2 hours a week for the past 4+ years, I now get to yap six days in a row. And boy are my vocal chords tired.

Been holding down the M-F 9a-11a spot on TalkRadio 950 KPRC for a few weeks now. It's fun talking to people about regular stuff - should English be put on the Friendswood ballot as the city's official language, will the Democrats create a universal tax for online purchases next year, what's your fave Xmas TV special? No, no and Charlie Brown.

I've also been doing my Saturday 12p-2p technology show which means Sunday I get to rest. Which means yelling at the kids and cheering at football games - so much for my vocal chords.

Things will slow down soon as my schedule settles down. Beginning next Monday, December 18, my daily show moves to 12p-1p. You'll hear more technology news and info as I get back to being my normal self. And the countdown is on to my final Saturday show. My last live show will be Saturday, December 23, while we do a "Best Of" on Saturday, December 30, when I'll be wathing the Horns in the Alamo Bowl.

Cool stuff coming up, though. I'll be going to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas the first part of January. Always a fun place to meet companies and get a peek at new gadgets for the upcoming year. I will be shooting my TV segments for the nationally syndicated Hot On Homes program and will broadcast my radio show live from the show floor. Send me suggestions on companies you would like me to bring on as guests. And yes I will try to bring back samples for everyone!

College Spirit/Storage To Go

USB Flash Drives have been a hot little product for the past several years. If you are on the go and need important documents, photos or even music, just load them on that little device and hang it on your keychain. I remember when they were pretty expensive - about $1 per 1 MB back in the day. Now they are very affordable and one of the easiest ways to carry and transfer data between computers.

PNY Technologies continues to innovate in the memory and drive industry. Their Attache USB Flash drives hold up to 4GB of data (more than my first computer!) and come in different models such as All-Terrain with a shock resistant rubberized housing.

With the college student and collegiate alumni in mind, PNY now has the Attache emblazoned with your favorite college team. And guess which one I have??

Each Collegiate Attache comes with a 3 ft USB cable and a lanyard for carrying it around your neck. Over 150 team logos are available - even Texas A&M (of course that one comes with a 200 page instruction booklet!). A 512 MB device sells for $14.99 and the 1 GB is $29.99.
Since UT leads all colleges in licensed gear I'm sure the great folks at the Austin campus thank you for your generous donation.
