Gmail and general attachments is a tough match..

Only today I came upon this little annoyance on Gmail, I tried to send a legal .exe file to a friend and then a .rar file to my own account and both messages returned with an "Illegal attachment" notice. The only file that Gmail accepted was a .zip file. I'm guessing it's all done for security reasons but it could n00bs a hard time sending some basic attachments on e-mails.. I know I was pissed the second time around. Oh well I still love my Gmail account as much ..

My Threadless Tees arrived in super fast..

It was just last week that I was reminded of the kickass t-shirt design promoting and producing website we all know as threadless.com . Well just 3 days after posting the goodies arrived in mint condition and might I say they all look fabulous. Well without further ado here are the 3 designs I chose to buy :


By the way the whole difference between the Dollar and the Euro made the prices seem quite cheap, just to make a point it seems that I paid the $ amount of the t-shirts in Euros with a 2 Euro postage fee, nice. Anyone in Europe looking for bargains off the US now is time to do it..

iPod nano is out and I WANT IT SO BAAADLY!!


Head over to Apple to check out the new ultra sleek nano. Using flash memory and a color screen this one makes the iPod mini weep..
The title of the post expresses my feelings on this little gadget so well..

If you thought podcasting was cool vidcasting will blow your socks off..

Well you pretty much guessed it, my latest craze appeared in the form of mostly techshows that exist only on the internet. Living in Greece means no TechTv or any other form of tech programming so once I discovered the shows I was excited as hell. So if the topic seems interesting enough to you head over to Vidcast and learn more about the great shows on offer.
My top 5 favorites are as follows :
01 Hak.5 ( Tech and hacks, way funny and informative )
02 From the shadows ( Tech, hacks and everyday life stuff )
03 Systm ( Tech with Kevin Rose from TechTv fame )
04 Diggnation ( Top stories from digg.com )
05 The Scene ( Drama series )

The first 3 shows are a great reason to get into (for lack of better word) vidcasting.
