I came across a cool light tonight called the Helper Moppel. His LED head will light any workspace and his functional hands can hold pens, pencils, notes and more. Helper Moppel will run for more than 100 hours on three AAA batteries or it can be plugged into a computer USB port. Magnetic feet with suction cup attainments allow your Helper to help you wherever you need it.

Well the time has come folks to make some money off those videos that you love to make. YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley announced it yesterday at the World Economic Forum.

“YouTube founder Chad Hurley has confirmed that his team is working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would “reward creativity”. He said the system would be rolled out in a couple of months and use a mixture of advertisements, including short clips shown ahead of the actual film.”

Very cool! Get out your cameras and start having some fun making some money with your videos.

I am having a blast on the new web site SpicyPage.com, and you should be too! If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out and create an account. Once you get that done, add all your blogs, and let the voting begin. Other users can vote on your blog, and you can too, just once though. You can see the total number of your votes and watch yourself get to the top of the most popular blogs. UtterlyGeek.com is doing pretty good, and hanging out at about #10 of the most popular blogs. I’m really hoping for some great exposure from this. I’m also hoping I can gain a larger reader base. The more comments I get, the better blogger I become. So give it a try, and while you are there, vote for UtterlyGeek.com.

No more ordinary boring meals for me! I’m going to be having Dinner In The Sky at my next party! Dinner in the Sky takes place at a table suspended at a height of 150 feet above the ground. For a mere 7,900.00 Euros you, and 21 of your closest friends, can be hoisted up into the air, and have your dinner while being suspended high above the ground. Not good for the person with a weak stomach I’m sure.

I found the neatest DIY project for a kids room, or an office. It’s magnetic primer paint, Rust-Oleum Magnetic Primer, and you can use it on your walls, before you paint, with your colored paint, to create a magnetic surface for posters, schoolwork, or anything else you want to hang on the wall, all without thumb tacks! I can just see this in a toddlers room with all the magnetic alphabet magnets all over the walls. Amber at My Aim Is True posted her step by step DIY project with this primer, along with some helpful tips, and it came out amazing.

I came upon a cool site with a twist on the “buy a pixel advertising” thing called FuelMyBlog.com. The concept is the same as you choose a spot on the pixel board you want to advertise on, but this one is free, and we like free as you know.

It’s a great idea, and Kevin is a super cool guy who answers every email I have written to him. That hands on approach from a site owner is amazing and I wish him all the luck in the world with his new business endeavor. Make sure to check out Kevin’s FuelMyBlog.com’s Blog also and leave him a comment or two.

I love Gmail and I’ve been using it since the day it came out. I remember so vividly when the announcement was made that it was up and running. A coworker of mine had some advanced information on it and sent the entire tech room invitations. I quickly navigated to the site and secured all my screen names, domain names, and my kids names. I actually still have invitations that I could send, but who would I send them to? Everyone has an account already, right? I’m hoping that is the case, because I have a question about it. When you click the “Report Spam” button is that for Google to add the sender to their spam filter? Is it for you, as a user, to filter your spam? Or maybe it’s for both purposes. Does anyone know for sure?
