Here’s something that would make a spectacular gift for the music lover in your circle: the Yamaha PDX-60. Wow! It’s gorgeous. But then again, just about everything that Yamaha produces is gorgeous.
The Yamaha PDX-60 is an iPod speaker dock, at its most basic. But there’s a lot more to it. For one, it will play your games, movies, AND music from either your iPod or iPhone. The Yamaha PDX-60 is specially made for beautiful clarity and depth of sound. The functional side of the Yamaha PDX-60 is that it will also charge your iPod or iPhone, which is very nice! The Yamaha PDX-60 comes with a small, separate charging dock as well as a charger within the Yamaha PDX-60 itself. That would clinch the deal for me– the integrated charger as well as beautiful sounds proves that Yamaha pays attention to detail and is sensitive to customers’ needs. I just hate having all these chargers around the house!
The Yamaha PDX-60 is equipped with special Yamaha technology, called yAired. It’s a clear, wireless connection, with no annoying sound delays or diminished audio clarity. Yamaha promises an exceptional sound experience– the Yamaha PDX-60 features uncompressed wireless audio transmission, a remote control for easy operation, simple operation (no Bluetooth hassles), and no sound delays. It’s a very, very classy little piece of technology. I think it would be perfect for the music aficionado, just in time for the holidays! Checkout the Yamaha PDX-60 product page for more information, features, photos of the device, and retailers to get it.

Here’s the latest in wacky tech news:
You ready for a wristwatch cell phone yet?
San Diego-based Kempler & Strauss this morning rolled out an incredible $199 wristwatch cell phone called the W PhoneWatch. The gadget sports a calendar, address book, a calculator, stopwatch, a vibration mode for silent alarms, a no-stylus touch screen, microSD slot and the ability to both take and play pictures and videos.
The watch features an LCD micro-touch touchscreen with a resolution of 128 x 128 and 260,000 colors. It weighs only 2.5 ounces and is the smallest phone watch you can buy, according to the company.
The watch takes pictures at VGA resolution (640 x 480). The video camera feature captures MPEG 4 (AVI) format at 128 x 104. The watch will play MPEG4, MP3, WMA, WAV and AMR files.
What do you think? Would you prefer your cell phone attached to your wrist like a watch? I think the touchscreen capabilities are rather cool… you can switch the “faces” to look like graphic buttons, or go for the more “traditional” clock-style watch face.
According to the article, the W PhoneWatch will work with nearly every phone carrier network, and is rechargeable using the USB connection or a battery charger. You can do everything you normally would with your cell: get the time, make and receive calls, play music, snap photos, etc. Would you consider getting one?

Way back when machines started to appear in the employment industry, machines were touted as the things that would make our lives better and more leisurely. Have you seen this happen in your life? I haven’t. I think our lives are much more hectic and fast-paced than ever before! As a matter of fact, Dr. Kathleen Hall of the Stress Institute is among many calling the stress the “epidemic of the 21st century.” The Stress Institute was founded in 1997 by award-winning author, Dr. Hall. The institute is a company of physicians and professionals dedicated to getting the word out about stress-causing elements in our fast-paced modern lifestyles, and working with clients toward stress reduction.
I’ve read studies that stress is the cause of a variety of illnesses and diseases. I know that I am susceptible to stress as I get older, and I feel terrible from it. I’ve been trying to build a new lifestyle of stress-free living; memorizing Bible verses has been very helpful for me! Things like exercise and setting aside parts of the day for peaceful moments are just a few things a person can do to relieve stress. The Stress Institute helps you to realize what’s making you stressed out, and it has an excellent website with media resources, articles (there’s a terrific one on work/life balance), tips and information to give you ideas for relieving stress in your life. Check it out for some practical and simple ideas. Don’t let our fast-paced society with all its consuming gadgets get to you!
