iPod and iPhone users
How many things do you have on your desk, connecting to your computer? We all have an iPod in our house so at any given time there is an iPod charging, sitting next to my desk chair. Today I saw a really neat keyboard, made especially for iPod and iPhone users - the LifeWorks iConnect Media Keyboard.
The LifeWorks iConnect Media Keyboard works on computers operating with Mac OS X 10.6 or later, Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. It has a built in dock that accommodates many models of the iPod and iPhone. When your iPod is in the dock you can control it using the keyboard. When it’s not in the dock the dock has a cover that slides shut. The keyboard has a numeric keypad and two built in USB ports on the right side. What I like best physically about this keyboard is that it has a built in rubberized wrist rest. As far as features go the ones I like the best are that your iPod syncs when placed in the dock and that the keyboard media keys allow for quick and easy navigation of your iPod music and files.

Sales Tax Holiday
August 20 - 22, 2010
Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 20, 21 and 22 - the state's annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.
As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt. A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back. The exemption during the sales tax holiday includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags. The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. Ten or fewer backpacks can be purchased tax-free at one time without providing an exemption certificate to the seller.
School Supplies
The 81st Texas Legislature passed HB 1801 (2009) expanding the list of items qualifying for exemption from Texas state and local sales and use taxes during the annual sales tax holiday in August. Effective this year, in addition to clothes, footwear and some backpacks, Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school.
The following is an all-inclusive list of qualifying school supplies (if priced less than $100):
•Binders
•Book bags
•Calculators
•Cellophane tape
•Blackboard chalk
•Compasses
•Composition books

•Folders; expandable, pocket, plastic, and manila
•Glue, paste and paste sticks
•Highlighters
•Index cards
•Index card boxes
•Legal pads
•Lunch boxes
•Markers
•Notebooks
•Paper; loose leaf ruled notebook paper, copy paper, graph paper, tracing paper, manila paper, colored paper, poster board, and construction paper
•Pencil boxes and other school supply boxes
•Pencil sharpeners
•Pencils
•Pens
•Protractors
•Rulers
•Scissors
•Writing tablets
No exemption certificate is required - with one exception. If the purchaser is buying the supplies under a business account, the retailer must obtain an exemption certificate from the purchaser certifying that the items are purchased for use by an elementary or secondary school student. “Under a business account” means the purchaser is using a business credit card or business check rather than a personal credit card or personal check; being billed under a business account maintained at the retailer; or is using a business membership at a retailer that is membership based.

Organize All Your Data Using BENTO
Bento, by Filemaker Inc. is a mobile version database made by using Mac. You can start by making your own libraries. You can also use one of the 25 templates available. The templates can be used to keep a diet log, store recipes, inventory list or organizing the class schedule.
It is extremely powerful, easy to use application and can store more than thousand records without affecting its speed. If starting with a blank library 15 different field types are presented to choose from. Choose the type required and name it. Repeat this process until your database is personalized. Once personalized, you can easily store the data within no time.
This app also synchronizes flawlessly over a Wi-Fi network with its Mac counterpart. If you have Bento for Mac, the data can be created there and later synchronized with the iPhone. One more feature of Bento is the iTunes search style. As you start typing, it begins the search process and shows the results from every library.
One of the flaws with this application is while saving a record. When you enter data in a field, to save, you simply have to press the back button. Once out of the field, the back button replaces with the cancel button. If the button is pressed twice, the data entered is lost. The other limitation of this application is that backup of the data is not possible.
Overall it’s a great application to maintain your database on the go.

America's Got Talent - Youtube
Tonight on America’s Got Talent 2010, the lucky winners from the YouTube auditions take the stage for their first ever live performance. Sharon Osbourne said she was scared for them!
First up was PLUtonic, the a capella group from a college. They are a bunch of geeks and did a pop, sort of rap number a capella. Watching geeks in argyle sweaters swiveling their hips kind of left me cold.
Next up was Dylan Plummer, the trick jump roping kid from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was amazing! Those were some amazing tricks that he can do with a jump rope, but how is this a Vegas show? How can he maintain this for an hour and half show?
Then came Pup, a performing dog with his owner who plays a guitar. Unfortunately, something went wrong and he wasn’t able to play the accordion. Something broke, and the dog had to stand there doing nothing while his owner sang and played the guitar rather badly.
Next up was Cam Hodges, singer and guitarist. He sang “Break Your Heart” by Taio Cruz. He was ok. Nothing stellar. We’ve already seen singers that were far better.
After him we had Ryan Rodriguez, a break dancer. He was wearing dirt bike armor and faux hawk, and the general consensus in our living room is that he made a fool out of himself. He had a couple of good moves, but the rest was pure amateur hour. Piers buzzed him.
Comedian Austin Anderson was next and his whole spiel was about Facebook. It wasn’t funny. Piers buzzed him. I would have turned him off if he’d gone any longer.
Next was Booker Forte, hip hop dancer. He was a little bit lame. He just didn’t do much, and compared to some earlier dancers, he wasn’t that great. So far tonight is being very disappointing!
Next up was Pizza Patt. He can toss pizza like no one I’ve ever seen! He even set a piece of dough on fire and twirled and tossed that! Piers thinks the act is ludicrous, but it is awesome.
Kristina Young was next, a singer from South Dakota. She did “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. She wasn’t half bad, but she wasn’t Carrie Underwood! For once, Piers did not buzz.
Maestro Alexander Bui, a 16-year-old pianist who totally blew us away tonight! That kid is amazing! Sharon buzzed him though…what the heck? She thought it was boring. Piers said to ignore her. He is a brilliant pianist. Hear hear!
Next was magician Dan Sperry. For his act tonight, he chewed up a mint, then used dental floss to floss it out of his neck whole! He dropped the dental floss near Howie, and Howie jumped up and flew away from it! He is SUCH a germaphobe.
Jackie Evancho was next, with her marvelous voice! How is it possible that voice comes out of that little girl??? She is only 10 years old, but her voice seems to be fully mature and it is a pure as crystal.
I know who I’m voting for! What about you?
