Creative has come up with even more for your video experience. With the Creative Zen Vision W you can store up to 240 hours of video via the 30 gigabyte drive. Viewing videos on the 4.3-inch, 16:9 format color screen will give you even more joy.
Along with the 240 hours of video, this will carry tens of thousands of photos and up to 15,000 songs. Creative plans to come out with a 60 gigabyte model to double the fun. Not only that, but it also features a compact flash slot that is built in so that you can transfer photos from your digital camera to the Zen without the use or need of a PC.
That’s right, Angelo Russica has decided to take fashion design to the web. Using a web-based design school that is dedicated to teaching all aspects of design including the basic skills needed, history of design and the aesthetics of Italian fashion, www.fashioncampus.it is born.
Many students had apparently complained about the fact that they had spent thousands of dollars learning the trade yet never had a job that related to fashion, once they left these schools. Angelo Russica decided to make it a little cheaper and less intrusive by using technology.
Modeling the lessons so that each individual lesson is built upon the previous lesson, you slowly graduate into more expansive knowledge of the industry and Italian design. The lessons require the students to actively participate and encourage many different things such as learning to analyze the market and find sources for information sought.
With 7 sections, 27 chapters, 197 pages and more than 170 exercises, they hope to teach with a different mode of getting the knowledge out but still allow the students to acquire the same skill level that is reached in typical schools.
Sounds interesting to me but do they get to digitally display the degree too? I think this is going to become more commonplace as online degrees and colleges start pepping up their courses.

I’m not crazy about the design of this site but the offerings are FREE and I proved it to be so before doing this review. I found the site via a PR email and the ePOSTIT site didn’t impress me as much as their actual service. I found the site easy to figure out so that’s important.
I decided to test the site. They offer FREE mailouts (limited to personal use) to anyone, anywhere, from your computer. Basically, you can send a card to your grandmother that does not have a computer…instead of sending an email. You format the card IN email and they format it to fit into a card. They used high-grade stock paper with a brightness to it.
You can add photos, graphics or any other kind of addition and they also invite you, as a business, to use their services but that account comes at a cost. The photo option is great for camera phone users that are out of the country or state and want to send a copy to someone that does not have email.
I got the card as promised, within the 3-4 day period that any post office would deliver. It was indeed on beautiful stock paper with a bright colored ink graphic. I used a fancy font that they did not use but they did stay true to the graphic I chose. Upon getting the card, my daughter opened it and enjoyed the fact that she got "real mail".
There was a message on the back stating where the card was created but it was tastefully placed and not very large. The personalization was expertly done and I enjoyed seeing her eyes brighten as she saw the envelope, addressed to her, in the mailbox.
If you’re looking to try a service out or use it on a weekly basis to send out cards, this is an option for you. The cards are not factory made, they are printed via computer…but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Buffalo has released a new color setup for their USB Hubs this fall. It’s like going to a
fashion show to see the new styles! There’s so many you might want to invest in each color so that you can be coordinated with what you wear each day.
Hey, it’s just an idea. The different combinations will sweeten your choices for the winter/autumn season. If you care about matching, this product is worth looking at.
MobiTV is a very cool service that works with over 100 phones, and is available to anyone with a Sprint,Cingular Verizon, or Alltel service. You can watch over 34 channels on your cell phone for about $10/month. Nice to have for those long train commutes.
Only women can relate to this evil necessity. I hate digging through my purse, and can’t wait for a better way to organize things inside of it. Which is why I would sacrifice style for convenience in this case. If you love your glossy lips, the elf cell phone charm straps to your phone so you can quickly access what we can only hope is a fruity tasting, not-too-sticky "hypershiny" lipgloss. $5.00 will buy you a pack of 8 glossy mini charms.

Finally a case that screams "I’m a Girl" for your Nintendo DS Lite. Not that we need one, as our long hair and good looks should suffice, but this case should accentuate our rather wide hips or perhaps hide them. The case is pretty bulky and straps around the waist–or at least that’s how they show it on this picture. You can get your girly girl case in white/gold or pink/black color schemes for about $21 over at Brando.com, if you dare. [via Shiny Shiny]
