I cannot wait until I get my new lightspeed zulu headset. I ordered it on line a few days ago and am waiting for it to arrive today. I have been promising myself a new one for ages and at last I have managed to get hold of one. It is so exciting! I suppose my original headset is fine really but I have heard so many good things about lightspeed aviation lately, that I decided it was about time I tried one out for myself. I have also been able to put my old one by as a spare. I often read about the lightspeed zulu products and they always seem to get really good reviews and so I think it is about time I found out whether the reviewers were right or not. I have not really been able to justify buying one before because my current headset still works, but I was really lucky and won a small amount of money on the lotto and decided that it was a sign that I should indulge and so I have done! I just wish that it would hurry up and be delivered so that I can have a go with it and find out what it is really like.

I have been responsible for looking after the computers in the office for a while now and have decided that rather than just repairing them when faults occur, that I should run some PC diagnostics on them every so often, just to make sure that everything is okay. I have been trying to get the funding for this for a while now, the company is only small and so it is not easy for them to finance anything really.

With the economic situation, we, as employees, are trying not to push things either as we realise that if they spend money unnecessarily then we may end up causing the company to fall into trouble and if they go under we will all lose our jobs. I have looked into protech diagnostics as well and I have decided that it is probably better money wise, at this stage at least, to continue with what we are doing. I might try to do some checks on the computers myself if I get a chance but that will be about it now. When there is more money available, I will look into it again and hopefully find a good solution for us.

I am all for doing self-paced IT training courses and having done one at home, for myself, in order to improve myself, I am thinking of recommending that my company start to do them as well. I loved the fact that I could work through the course material whenever I wanted to and at the speed that I needed. I could very briefly look at the material that I already knew or that I found easy and spend time working through the new material that perhaps was more difficult.

I used the IT training videos a lot and watched them several times and the replayed the parts which I needed to remember. I found it great and completed the course pretty quickly because it was set up in such a way that it made me look forward to the next time I had the opportunity to study some more. I am sure this would be a great way that my company could address the training needs of the staff without breaking the bank. I know that many peoples skills need updating but most departments cannot justify the cost of sending team members away on training courses and so these could be the answer.

My friend has been going on about this new computer training online project that she is trying to get involved with at work. She said that some of the employees are testing the on line courses rather than going away on training courses. My friend is always being sent away on courses but she wants to stay in the office as much as she can because she can get back home to her young family more easily.

She is keen to try these on line courses and work on them at home once the children are in bed or during office time when she can. The course they are trailing at the moment is Excel 2007 training online and unfortunately she has already been trained to an advanced level in this area so she will not get to be part of the try out team. She was really hoping that she would be so that she could make sure that she put forward as many positives about it as she could. I am sure that she will get a chance as I expect that they will be doing more Microsoft online training and she will be bound to do some more of those courses soon as she seems to be doing them all of the time at the moment!

Imagine playing around with an NBA videogame and creating a custom jersey for your virtual NBA players to wear on the court.

Now imagine having that virtual jersey worn by some of the biggest names in the NBA on the real hardwoods of the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona during the 57th NBA All-Star weekend.

For 18-year-old gamer Tim Ahmed from East Meadow, Long Island, this will become reality when the NBA All-Star Rookie and Sophomore teams take the court February 13 during the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam.

The purple All-Star jerseys donned by the likes of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose were created by Ahmed using a videogame and he won the inaugural EA Sports’ NBA Live 09 Jersey Creator Contest.

While creating custom players and jerseys to be worn within sports videogames has been the norm for years, this contest marks the first time that a pro sports league has opened up its uniforms to gamers.

“I’m really excited about the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has been given to one of our fans, Tim Ahmed, having his NBA Live 09 jersey creation actually worn by the players,” said Jeff Roth, marketing director of basketball, EA Sports.

According to Vicky Picca, senior vice president, Licensing & Business Affairs for the NBA, 85 percent of NBA players are avid videogamers.

This is one reason why the league is one of the few that awards licenses to multiple game makers — something the NFL, PGA TOUR, NASCAR and FIFA do not do.

“Videogames are very popular in the NBA,” said Boston Celtics All-Star Kevin Garnett, who’s on the cover of 2K Sports’ NBA 2K9. “A lot of our young guys play the games, whether it’s at home, on the planes or on the road.”

Game publishers are taking advantage of that popularity by further integrating videogames into the weekend events.

Take-Two Interactive is a sponsor for both the NBA All-Star Balloting and the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, EA Sports is a sponsor for the new NBA All-Star Block Party and Sony Computer Entertainment sponsors the PlayStation Skills Challenge and the NBA Official Players’ Lounge at the downtown Sheraton Phoenix.

In addition to having NBA 09, NBA Live 09 and NBA 2K9 available for fans to play on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii throughout the NBA Jam Session and the free Block Party, the weekend will also offer three videogame competitions.

Fans who can’t make it out to Phoenix can partake in the NBA All-Star Game virtually while EA Sports is offering soldiers overseas the chance to play NBA Live 09 against Phoenix Suns star Shaquille O’Neal via Xbox Live on Sunday.

Soldiers stationed overseas will be able to see O’Neal through Xbox Live Vision video cameras as they play one-on-one on the virtual court.

The new technology allows real NBA player stats to be regularly updated to the videogames — further blurring the line between the real and virtual worlds.

“When I was growing up in France, videogames were the only way for us to get information on the NBA players,” said Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs All-Star and cover athlete for EA Sports’ NBA Live 09.

In 2008, NBA videogame sales accounted for $178 million in the U.S. alone, according to The NPD Group, down from $199 million NBA games hauled in 2006.

I’m an e-book fan from way back. Ever since my trusty Pilot 5000 rescued me from terminal boredom on a seemingly endless train ride, I’ve made sure to keep my current pocket companion (be it PDA or smartphone) stocked with a good book or two.

And I’ve never had a better e-book experience than with the iPhone. Sure, my editor Robert Strohmeyer is all pumped up over the new Amazon Kindle, but if he thinks it can beat the iPhone in a head-to-head match, he’s delusional. Much as I’m glad to see Kindle selling like hotcakes (turns out people still like books after all!), the iPhone trumps it at almost every turn. Here’s why:

1. Duh: It’s a phone. The Kindle is a single-purpose device. Make no mistake: It’s great at what it does, or so I’ve been told. (Confession: I’ve never actually used one.) But my iPhone, well, do I really need to list all the things it can do? Last I checked, the Kindle doesn’t offer maps, music, video, games, e-mail, Web browsing, or, gee, a telephone.

2. It fits in my pocket. While the new Kindle 2 is undeniably sexy (unlike its predecessor, which was undeniably butt-ugly), it’s still too big to fit in a pocket. Or ride shotgun on a belt. My iPhone goes where I go, and does so with ease. The Kindle is something extra I have to remember to bring, and, unlike Robert, I don’t routinely carry a purse. Where am I supposed to put the thing?

3. It has a backlit screen. I like to read in bed. ‘Nuff said. 4. It can download books (and more) on the fly. The original Kindle scored well-deserved points for its wireless connectivity: Users can shop Amazon’s bookstore and download new purchases on the fly–no PC required. Well, guess what? iPhone e-book apps like eReader and Stanza can do likewise. You can get commercial titles from the likes of Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyer and thousands of freebies from Project Gutenberg and other sources. Even voracious readers will find an endless supply of material. And need I mention that an iPhone can also download music, podcasts, apps, and more?

5. One day soon, it’ll gain access to the Kindle bookstore. Amazon didn’t announce it today, but I’m guessing it won’t be long before there’s a Kindle app for the iPhone. It’s a no-brainer: iTunes still doesn’t sell e-books, so there’s no competition from Apple. Meanwhile, Amazon can tap a huge installed base of iPhone and iPod Touch users. It’s easy money for them.

So there you have it: five slam-dunk reasons the iPhone wins the e-book challenge. Robert will point to the Kindle’s lower book prices and total cost of ownership ($359 out the door, versus $199/$299 for an iPhone plus $70 monthly…forever), but don’t forget point #1: The iPhone is way more than an e-book viewer. And for $229 you can get an iPod Touch with nearly all the same capabilities, but no monthly fees.

What would it take for me, a longtime lover of e-books, to buy a Kindle? A lower price. A pocket-friendly design. (Does an e-book reader really need a full QWERTY keyboard? Um, no.) A backlit screen. Hmm…sounds a lot like the device I’m already carrying.
