Friday freebies

NBC pulled every clip of theirs off of YouTube (something about them starting a new video site of their own at Hulu.com…). Anyway, that affects Doobybrain.com a bit since I linked to a lot of their videos. Just a heads up in case you were wondering.

This is very funny: The Sneeze ordered a NONE pizza with LEFT beef.

So The Sneeze decided to give it the ultimate test.

Totally awesome! There are reports saying that Verizon FiOS will be rolling out widespread in places like New York City (it was previously only in select areas for testing). The FiOS service will allow for 20mb uploads and downloads. SUPER FAST.

The Empire State Building in NYC is getting some renovations to bring it into the 21st century. Among them are big-name tenants and a 3-story Starbucks on the 34th Street side! Man, like that area needs any more Starbucks!

There’s an interesting discussion going on over at Internet Tablet Talk about how the Nokia N810 (my current gadget WANT at the moment) with its built-in GPS, can be used as a sort of where-about gadget — especially at a concert when you and others are trying to meet up in one spot. Of course, this isn’t just limited to the N810. Practically any device with GPS technology can be used for this. It’s just that the Nokia N810 makes it a lot easier since nobody I know carries a TomTom in their pocket.

Another hands-on look at the Nokia N810. Cool.

Wow, this New Era Boston Hat - Multi is…very colorful.

Those wildfires in California are believed to have cost more than $1 billion. Eeks.
