This next device just screams “why didn’t I think of this earlier”? Sure, see-through Post-it Notes don’t seem like such a great scientific achievement in comparison to the light bulb or the polio virus, but it has been a long time coming.

All you need to do is just place the Sheer Post-it notes on the text that you want to stand out, and mark it up all you want! No more highlighting something and diminishing a book’s resale value. This will also come in handy on books that you checked out from the library and need to mark up for research purposes.

To this writing, giant corporation 3M is only selling their Sheer Post-It notes in one inch wide colored strips. You still have a lot of colors to choose from, such as yellow, green, blue, and melon.

Thank you, 3M for creating something that we all needed. I remember when 3M used to do those great films about their company, so just picture this next fake quote from the company with giant camera pans and a Don Pardo announcer.

“Yes, 3M, makers of the Post-it has now created the Sheer Post-it. That’s right, Post-its that you can see through. No more covering up other information while putting a sticky note on the information that you need. Just another way that 3M is working for you!”

A concerned half-sibling’s letter…

To my dear sibling Miuro,

Hi, how’ve you been doing? I heard you’re still up to your old tricks, rolling around to the tune of the music you’re playing, and displaying emoticons on your screen-face. Anyway, the reason I wrote is that I wanted to ask if you’re still mad that our dad, ZMP,got with my mum, Sega Toys, and had me? I promise I’m not so bad, Miuro, I have an emoticon-displaying screen-face too, and people tell me I look just like you! I mean, I don’t have your camera or your wireless LAN, but at a tenth of your 500 price, we have totally different markets! We’re not rivals, my dear sibling, so please come back home soon. We can roll around together to the music our docked iPods play. It’ll be fun, I promise.

From your younger sibling,

Music Robot ODO

In a rather bizarre effort to protect sensitive company data, T-Mobile has announced that its Sarnia, Ontario call center employees will no longer be allowed to use pens, pencils, or note pads in the open. If they must used them, they are required to keep them in their locked desks between uses. Taking the new policy even further, they’ve also required that all photos and papers on cubicle walls be laminated so they can not be used to write on.

While it’s easy to understand a company wanting to protect its data, this new policy is just a bit ridiculous. If the company is that paranoid it’s a good thing the employees don’t have access to any kind of small, easily concealable electronic device that can easily accept data and transfer it quickly over the net or any way to discreetly copy data directly from their computers, Wouldn’t that be awful? I’m sure T-Mobile execs are sleeping well tonight with that knowledge.

Green House has just released its GH-EXC-ESA2 card that increases the connectivity of your notebook. It will feature a couple of 3.0Gbps eSATA slots, a JBOD external drive, and support for RAID 0/1. Not only will it come in the older PCMCIA Type II model, there will also be a PCI Express version. Both devices have been certified to run on both Windows XP and Vista, so Mac owners are out of the loop yet again. Bummer! No idea on how much this costs, nor whether it will be available outside of Japan or not.
