Mouth Watering Fun

So, a new blog same ol' Captain, and hopefully you find my post as hand trembling as i do. My friends, get your credit cards ready! Now a day, almost everyone has a jump drive, ipod, or otherwise portable storage device. So many things, so little time. Speaking of time......

I can tell you want one already.......

8GB ( not a typo), count em' 8, on your wrist, everyplace you go!!! 1.5-inch display with OLED technology, and supports video, music, pictures and the classic watch function. store MP4/WMV/AVI videos to watch them on the 160 x 128 pixels display at 25 frames per second, MP3/WMA/WAV audio files at 32~320Kbps, and JPEG pictures.
The watch shows 24 hour style time, date, and comes with built-in microphone for sound recording in WAV file format, and with 2.5/3.5 mm earphone jack, Chinese/German/English/Italian/French/Portuguese/Spanish/Polish languages support, USB 2.0 connectivity, and compatibility with Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista operating system. This is less then $80, basically the cost of a flash drive, and yes, it is a flash drive..... ON STEROIDS!!! buy to and your ready to DJ on the fly, anywhere with over 2000 MP3s at the touch of your wrist. Dont be ashamed, it gave me half a chubby to..... You can thank me later.

DJs Raise Your...... Bank Accounts!

Okay, so maybe I've been MIA from the blog scene for a little bit. But I'm back now.... That's what really matters, right?

Oh, so it's gonna be like that?

Well, let me change your tune with THIS. Victims of heart attacks with clogged arteries eat your, well, hearts out. Let's say hello to the PACEMAKER the future PMP leaders of the world.....
Oh, so now I have your attention?

Lets Push Onward, Shall We?
120GB Storage
MP3, VBR, AAC, Lossless WMA, OGG, FLAC, and WAV..... ALL SUPPORTED!!!
IPOD HAS BEEN SMOKED!!!

On top of all that, Your mixes can be saved, and shared.
Now for the... still good, but not great news. It's scheduled for shipment in February, right around the corner!!! Now, the bad news. As is to be expected, something this cool comes with a rather hefty $PRICE TAG$

Roughly $800

....but for a piece of equipment that can carry plenty of music for any event, and weighing in at less then a pound, shrinks the price tag.
I know I won't be seeing mine for some time (I'm #4235), I'll be happy when it's time for me to spend a lil dough, ease my aching back, and of course take one small step towards the big FU reserved for Steve Jobs and his "fruity" empire!

ALL HAIL the PACEMAKER!!!!

The Power Hour just Got Gadgeted - The Shot Caller

I am definitely getting old. I used to be a party animal. Honestly. I used to play all the drinking games there were to play. Then I became a family guy, started a business and well....I fell out of touch with the party set. Today in my GReader I get this story, from Gizmodo...the gadget guide about this new cool gadget called The Shot Caller which helps you play Power Hour, Century Club, or Sick & Twisted.

Huh?

I had to Google these games to find out what the hell they were! I mean it's bad enough that beer pong came into it's prime after I passed out of mine but now I missed these brilliant games? Oh the humanity! Anyhow....if you're NOT an old fart like me and you want to step up your Power Hour play it seems that The Shot Clock is the way to go...$14.99 shipped...you can have it for X-mas or better yet for New Years Eve. Take your game Pro...with The Shot Caller.

If you happen to be like me

and are extremely into gadgets, toys, and random miscellaneous shit that no real, normal, person would be able to find everyday uses for, let alone want to have on hand at a moments notice. Which really make the whole bag/backpack route rather inconvenient... Hence the reason that when i came across this clothing line, i placed a rather large order right away ($200, and arriving Monday) Over at Scott E. Vest, you can find clothing to fit any kind of gadget guy or girl in any situation. Being as I leave for Cali. at the end of the week, i thought that with airports, and security being able to keep the things that i want right at hand(Ipod, camera, water, sunglasses, PSP, cell phone, keys, plane tickets, wallet.... get my drift???) Being avid in the outdoors, when i get some time i cant wait to have these camping, or doing some rock climbing :-D This is The Captain, signing off till later.... FIRE UP....


One Last thing, for all our philly readers, Radio 104.5fm has changed their format again, as of about 3 weeks ago i think... Since i found it, i have not turned my radio off... Drop by and give a listen, tell em' The Captain sent you!!!

Things That Make You Go....... COOL!!!

Had to share this video! I saw it and thought to myself.... "now why did I not think of that... As DJs, we need to hear two songs at once and this will make it eaiser without spending upwards of $150. Wont be bad for whenn i fly to Cali in late june either. Bring on the noise screaming babies!!!

Make RECORD time when driving....???

The fastest way between any two points, is a straight line right... Maybe, but not when your driving. Some lights just suck, and you wind up sitting at some lights, for 3-5 minuets... Well, I know that as a mobile DJ, on the road every weekend, i avoid the lights that take forever to turn green, or even just get through. So, when I STUMBLED across this video, i had to share it. I don't know if it works yet, and should you try it before i do, show some LOVE and let me know. Somehow, i cant really imagine that it is as easy as taking a remote and programing "9-1-1" works, but there must be a way. Be careful, I'm sure this cant be legal, but could be fun never-the-less.... Enjoy!!!

Turn you Laptop into a Tablet w/ Touchscreen

Ok no fucking way! This is too cool. As the entire Yamagoo crew uses Laptop computers, when I got this in the Greader, by way of the Gizmodo, I was stunned into covetous silence. It's the Laptop Tablet and it converts your lappies LCD into a touchscreen by way of USB. You can use the pen that is included in with the unit, or your finger, or anything else that can touch the screen for that matter. I can imagine that this would be cool for many of the DJ programs that we all use. Particularly Virtual DJ, with a nice big button skin.

The unit is from a company called NAVIsis and has some really reasonable requirements, which means that I could attach it to one of my older lappies and it would work just fine. In theory it ought to work with ANY LCD. According to the Gizmodo post it costs $130. Not bad at all!

Humping dog made useful

You have undoubtedly seen this Humping dog flash toy.(..if not look here, and here.)
The gang over at Everything USB are reporting a successful hack to this totally useless, though sort of funny, piece of crap. (Why would anyone give up valuable USB real estate to this? How much time can you spend watching a plastic dog have buttsecks with your Dell dude?)

Anyway the hack adds an external flash drive to the dog and now he only humps during a data transfer. BRILLIANT! This thing is totally useful now. No more looking for that blinky light. If the flash drive is a rockin', don't go unplugin'! I want one yesterday. Better yet someone get me one that looks like a DJ scratching while the data transfer is happening THAT would be Freakin Sweet!



Some people are asking what this is. This is Second Spin. Wanna make some money off your used Cd's? Ever wish you could trade your used stuff for something new. Click the banner and give it a try! Yes we will make some scratch if you sign up, but it's a good deal. Like ebay but more specialized and anyway we don't charge for the blog right so...have you seen our Google ADS? Lol just kidding...no..no...seriously...did you see them?

FUN WITH LASERS!!!

Okay, the Captain is back, and in full effect.... I know, its been awhile..... But here are just some videos... I'm not sure just how much something like this would cost, but knowing our wonderful local police.... it would probably get you fined.....

Shop, From The Seat Of Your.......Plane!!!

Whenever i get the chance to fly, Great! Usually means I'm going on vacation, and we all know how great that is. One of the things i look forward to, is getting a chance to thumb through The Sky Mall magazine. However, It always seems like there are not nearly enough pages to look at. And somehow, whenever i get home i forget about going to the website.




Well, Now i share this with all our readers. Whether you have never flown on a plane, or like me you seem to forget to visit when you get home. Anything from The ITunes backpack to the headset that makes your video seem like a 50 inch big screen.
There really is something for everyone, who is looking for something....

A Potheads Best Friend The "Doorganizer"

Are you fucking kidding me! This may very well be the best thing to happen to Yamagooers since the gravity bong! As we all know smoking herb can make you a little umm....short term memory challenged. So in the spirit of the simplest ideas are the best the folks at The Container Store introduce us to The Doorganizer©....

Need a stocking stuffer? Or how about just a way to make use of the SD/MMC or most any other flash media you have laying around? We have tons of these cards between us.

How-To: Build Your Own Custom Full-Sized Wireless Guitar Hero Controller

I have already posted about the fact that I am becoming a Guitar Hero geek but now Toolmonger has posted the How-To for converting that old guitar laying in the garage into a custom controller for the game.

I want this game so bad it's fucking ridiculous! I can't justify just buying it outright until after the holiday but i sure hope my family has been paying attention!

Sometimes I wish they read Yamagoo just so they were clued in on shit like this!

Anyway GO and learn!

Gotta love Sihouette Ads

From Gizmodo our favorite gadget site on the web....

Who could forget the iBuzz, that fun little sex toy that hooks up to an iPod and vibrates in tandem with the music? Hope you already bought yours because it looks like Apple is about to shut them down. Apparently, Apple is taking issue with some of iBuzz's adverts, like the one seen here. I guess Apple isn't too keen about having "its" silhouette campaign hijacked by a bunch of smut peddlers. Or, in legalese...

"Our client owns the copyright in all the images used in its 'Silhouette' advertising campaign and actively polices its rights in order to protect itself and its consumers.... Certain images used on your website (www.ibuzz.co.uk) may have been copied or substantially copied from those in which our client own the copyright, without our client's consent... Your use of such images amounts to copyright infringement."

Oh, boo hoo, Apple.

Record Direct to YouTube

From Gizmodo.com...(if you haven't ever read Gizmodo.com, and your a "gadget" head like Greggie, Tommy and I, you need to go now and read, read, read)

So as of yesterday it was ridiculously easy to record to YouTube. Just record, save, and upload. Done.

Today it got even easier if you have a webcam. Using the Adobe Flash Player API, YouTube can now connect to your webcam and record directly to the site. And by getting rid of the saving and uploading step a huge barrier has been removed for a lot of users. Since saving/uploading have been the biggest complaints about the site this should have a huge impact on the company.

Plus any of you built in webcam users (I'm looking at you MacBook's & MacBook Pro's) you've got a mobile YouTube studio now.– Ben Longo

YouTube allows users to record directly to site [Ars Technica]
