Best Damn Tech Show, Period.

The folks over at Valleywag have opened the polls for their Vlog Hot competition, a.k.a geek eye candy, for all to vote on.

I didn’t know about nominations otherwise I’m sure our very own Dr. Drew and The Very Reverend Sir Adam Plante would most certainly be on the list (modesty prevents me from suggesting that I would be on the list as well). However, the good news is that our very own Shauna made the list and she’s up against Congers (Amanda Congdon) who is without doubt, shamelessly voting for herself.

Head over and notch one up for the good guys (that’s Shauna, do I have to explain myself every time…oh it’s probably the accent).

UPDATE!!! OK, so I should’ve known the good Doc (Drew that is) got his mug up there in the voting circles. Not the most flattering photo but sure to appeal to the goth set. Is that permanent Drewby? Might as well notch one up for him as well.

Teaser commercial for sure, but promises the iPhone in June, even though there were rumors of an earlier release.

Gizmodo pointed out that the time and the logo on the phone changes (from Cingular to AT&T, who just merged)

The folks over at SpeedTest did some revamping and it’s hot.   If you want to check your internet connection, head on over there and perform a test.   It’ll suggest which server to test it off of, and then with a fun graphical interface, it’ll tell you how fast (or how slow) your connection is!

Just when you thought the biff over the iPhone name was going to heat up, the bastards at Apple and Cisco have decided to play nice. Apparently they are now both able to use the iPhone name globally, in exchange for dropping all lawsuits. Aww ain’t that sweet. Even sweeter is the agreement that they would be exploring “opportunities for interoperability,” whatever that means…but could have interesting implications.

So now it’s on to the next big biff. I’m predicting fireworks at the next “D: All Things Digital” conference this year on May 30 between Jobsy and Gatesy as they will be sharing the stage to jointly discuss the history and future of the digital revolution in an unrehearsed, unscripted, onstage conversation. Check out AllThingsD.com and get ready for the biff…….Flemo

As I was surfing the net this week I came across Vox. I love community sites, so I thought I would check this one out a little deeper. TheHome page is quite eye catching and very straight forward. I decided to give it a go and see how it compared to other community site I have used (and I have used a lot!!!). The sign up process was pretty standard, it didn’t take long either which is good, because if you are like me, then there is nothing worse than a dragged out sign up process, which can almost put you off using the site in the first place. Keep it simple! Anyway, once I got past sign up, I decided to check out it’s features.

One of the big plus points to Vox is that it works with flickr, which is a great choice due to the number of people that use Flickr these days. It saved me an enormous amount of time uploading my pics again, I just browsed my flickr and sent then to my Vox account, easy! You can pretty much do anything to your blog, from choosing/making a funky design to Uploading Video. They also have the unusual features of being able to upload books and Collections (eg.travel boos etc and websites you have collected for a vacation). You can add people to your neighborhood (just like adding friends) and you can keep an eye on their new posts etc.

Overall, I think Vox is a great all round community, it will certainly meet most peoples needs and it’s growing pretty fast. Check it out… You might be surprised
