HD Projector – What HD Actually Means
Posted by whaleadmin in Technology on June 30th, 2009
What does the HD, or High Definition in an HD projector actually mean? Well, 480 pixels PSI is the normal visual quality. The lowest image resolution that can be called HD is 720 pixels PSI.
If the HD projector you are considering purchasing has a lower PSI than 720 pixels PSI then it is not really an HD projector and the image quality may well be disappointing.
In the terminology for HD quality there are also two other letters than you should pay attention to, the scanning type. These can be i – interlaced, or p – progressive. The progressive scanning type is generally considered to be of superior quality, therefore it is customary to think of 720p HD projectors being equivalent to a 1080i HD projector.
Although these terms appear technical, they are in fact just ways of describing certain features of the HD projector and should not be too concerning.

I’m actually really surprised that more people don’t know how to mail merge. This is really not a difficult concept. The whole idea is that you have a list with all of you guests addresses is an Excel sheet. You need set this up so that you have a column for each thing, a column for the name, a column for their street, and a column for their city and the state. Excel is really not that difficult to learn, and it actually pretty intuitive. Once you have this set up you can cycle any one of those columns through a field in Microsoft Word. This is a very powerful function and any time you are dealing with information like this you can use mail merge to significantly decrease your time on projects. This is really a great feature for invitations and addressing envelopes.

Direct TV HD Service
Posted by whaleadmin in Technology on June 27th, 2009
Quite a few folks are probably in the same boat as me. I just bought a brand new 50 inch plasma screen television, and got it all hooked up at home. Once the installation was complete, I started channel surfing, but was surprised to find out that my cable company only offers about 30 channels in HD. What a waste! What my brand new TV needed was some HD content, so I started checking out Direct TV HD and Dish Network Turbo HD. While Dish TV is a little cheaper, Direct TV has more sports content, and that’s why HDTV was invented. I signed up for one of their great new customer offers, and kissed the cable company goodbye. Now if football season would just get here so I can really enjoy high definition TV.

With all the choices these days for cell phones it can be difficult to find the right one for you. Touch screen mobile phones are extremely popular. Just take a look around any high school and college and you will see them. All of the major cell phone providers now offer touch screen mobile phones.

Touch screen mobile phones have definitely changed the cell phone industry for the better. Gone are the large, heavy cell phones that people had to carry around when cell phones first came on the market. Each year they are replaced with newer, quicker and more efficient models. The technology involved in making cell phones is constantly undergoing change and models quickly become obsolete. Touch screen technology is definitely here to stay.
Vapor Steam Cleaners Kill Dust Mites
Posted by whaleadmin in Technology on June 10th, 2009
It is a common knowledge that the house dust mite is a cause of certian respiratory problems, such as asthma and allergies. These mites, which can be referred to in technical places as HDM, live along with humans because they feed on the the organic matter that our bodies naturally shed – skin! Isn’t that just gross?
But here is something that is even nastier – the reason that these little critters cause allergies and asthma is that their fecal matter (read poop, folks) contains proteases which can cause allergic reactions in people susceptible to this chemical. Their poop is allergenic!
The problem with these pests is that they are tiny. Like super tiny. And they exist in the hundreds of thousands all over the furnishing that we spend the most time on – on our carpets, pillows, beds, couches, curtains, and blankets. You can kill this bugs with harmful chemical sprays or you burn them to death with a vapor steam cleaner.
Vapor steam cleaners are contraption that looks like a vacuum cleaner but instead of sucking up dirt and grim is destroys it by spewing out 240 degree heat – cutting through grease like nobodies business while at the same time killing dust mites and other organic allergens. Their dry vapor steam leaves behind almost no moisture so you can use it on your mattress or pillows without fear of damaging the. It really is a great way to kill those pesky, pooping dust mites.
Intercom Doorbells
Posted by whaleadmin in Technology on June 6th, 2009
So we have an intercom doorbell at my house and for the most part I love the thing. It is great to check to see how is at the front door prior to opening it. It is even better when I can do this from the garage out behind our house. Otherwise I would never know thee was somebody at the front door. The other feature of the intercom doorbell that really puts it over the top for me is that I have it programmed to call me on my cell phone when we are out of town and a visitor comes knocking. That is just super cool.
The thing about it that I don’t like is that my kids like it even more than I do. They play some spy game called shark boy and lava girl and go all spy vs spy on each other. It was funny the first couple of times, now it is annoying as heck because 99% of the time I answer the door it is either shark boy or lava girl.
Electronic Cigarettes – The Cool Way To Get Your Nicotine
Posted by whaleadmin in Technology on June 3rd, 2009
The most talked about stop smoking device in use at the moment is undoubtedly the electronic cigarette. Its quite strange getting all the attention I do when I go out for a drink and start using my E Cigarette at the bar. It usually starts of with a few strange looks and occasionally I’ll be challenged by a member of staff telling me its illegal to smoke indoors. When I point out that I’m using an electronic cigarette and only exhaling water vapor people usually understand and thinks its pretty cool.
If you haven’t used an e cigarette before and are still smoking tobacco you should really give it a shot. It allows you to get your nicotine hit without going outside when you are in a public place and improves your health by reducing to almost zero the number of harmful substances that you are inhaling when partaking in your habit.
