Slingbox. From the Slingbox website...... "What is the SlingboxTM? The SlingboxTM Personal Broadcaster is a consumer electronics product that a user connects to their personal TV source (including a TiVo, cable box, analog cable, satellite receiver, or virtually any other AV device) and to their high-speed network/internet connection (including DSL, cable modem, or other solution) for the purpose of "placeshifting the content" - enabling them to view their TV programming on any device. Once connected, the user can watch and control their personal TV experience from virtually any computer, PDA or mobile phone. Your TV. Any Device. Any Location." Now tell me that isn't freaking cool!? Anything that timeshifts or placeshifts (it seems like those aren't even words for some reason...?) is cool in my book now. TiVo starting the timeshift revolution and now I believe slingbox will start the placeshift revolution. I'm a gadget geek and this thing has me going. Slingbox will be available at BestBuy and CompUSA starting tomorrow (Thursday, June 30th) and will run $249 with no montly fees.

Word Geek symbols A little used feature of Office is an applet that will help create complicated equations. Equation Editor is available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is a sub-set of a full-blown program called MathType. The instructions are similar for each version. To add an equation to your document, go to Insert>Object. In the Create New option area, scroll down to Microsoft Equation 3.0. (BTW: If you create the equation in Word. You can save that Word document as HTML. That will save the equation as a GIF file that you could use on the web. ) If you need more instructions, use the Help file in Equation Editor itself.
