I Grill, You Grill, We All Grill!

Look what I found at Macworld 2011. They call it the iGrill. I was originally going to make some smart remark about ridiculous apps for your I Phone, but I can’t because this thing is too cool. It’s a bluetooth thermometer for your iPhone with lots of features.  It feeds info to you from 200 feet away. That’s important if you’re sitting in your chair drinking a beer, (that was my smart remark). It has alarms, recipes and even iGrill University. What more could you ask for? It’s $99 for the hardware and the other stuff is free. There were a lot of people, including me, hovering around this booth at Macworld. Oh, and no I didn’t buy one. I’ll just borrow Joe’s!

Opera 11 for OS X Hits the Street

Opera just released Opera 11 for Mac OSX, the newest competitor in the browser wars.  I have to admit that I was never really an Opera user, but that may be changing with this version.  It's loaded with lots of new features and is extremely user friendly.  The new features include tab stacking, extensions, a safer address field, a mail panel and visual mouse gestures.  My use with 11 is limited because I just got it, but I do find it more appealing than Google's Chrome.
