New releases, products, and services, etc.

It occurs to me that a thread where we can announce and talk about new releases, products or services etc might be informative.

Sarah Brightman has just released her first Christmas CD ever. I love Sarah Brightman and have been wishing for a holiday CD for years, and she's finally released one.

If anyone is interested it's called: A Winter Symphony

I'll take a look in a second.

Tomorrow's Taylor Swift's second album comes out, and I'm so excited. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXKAzgBMWxc

This is curtesey of our Ruth:

Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411 .  This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number.  

I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number.  I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed.

The voice at the other end says, "City & State."  I say, " Garland , Texas ."  He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service."  I say, “Firewheel Golf Course."  He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone.  How great is that?  This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!

That looks handy to have, I've had something simliar on our phones for an long time, but not numbers that I haven't programmed into it prior...I touch the name and it automatically dials the number for me. It is handy when going down the road. Wait until "nano" technolgy hits the average consumers. Can you imagine having an white painted wall in your house and your able to change the color of it by pushing an button on an remote..or post an wall mural..or see the room in "action" and possibly 3-D at that..say you want an Hawaiian theme for dinner, sunset with blamy trees and the ocean coming in an out, you can have it...right now you'd have to run an CD perhaps...on an wide screen...not with this and for themost part it won't look like an "CD" as it will look "alive" and three dimensional as if your really there...wanna be in an Parade, or your "kids" as they "play", it can be done... WOW!  Best buy for Christmas prior that is really panning out for the cost of it is the "Hero Guitar" series from my 30 plus year old son to my 10 year old grand-daughter to her teenage cousins that come over. Her cousins own an electronic/computer shop, they know all the latest stuff out...keep us informed.  

PS..something else you will be able to do with "nano" technology, buy one huge house with no walls to it inside and then "make your own walls" and change them in any way you'd like to design them. Have the cocktail "bar" but it's open to the livingroom, don't like that...just throw up an wall between them. Need more dining room space for guests.. take out the wall and make the formal dining room larger. Need an quickie bedroom for an overnight guest, go out into the garage and make an wall, and then furnish it with the appropriate furniture. Areo bed, in wall "TV set", soft lighting, or mood settings...beside table and you got it all...ok, maybe you need the deep fuzzy plush area rug..you could do it all in less then 15 mins most likely...mostly the time it takes to put the bedding on the bed.  I understand that these walls will be sound-proofed barriers also. Can you imagine the "feeling" walking through one..."buzzo"...like being "alein" oriented perhaps? They have this right now, just "fine tunning" it.
