This new song by Hail Social has been on repeat all weekend. The original mix of No Paradise is great, but this new Adeyhawke mix blows it away. Check it out here:

DigitalLife’s Summer Press Preview 2008 is later this week in NYC. Expect a horde of bloggers flashing cameras and scooping up freebies while pushing through an overcrowded Roosevelt Hotel lobby in search of that one cocktail that makes it all worthwhile. Sound like a nightmare? Well it’s not, the number of new gizmos and exhibitors is supposed to be way up this year, meaning more gadget-gropes and seductive promoter girls/boys than ever. This Thursday evening at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown New York, Press Only.
Of course the main DigitalLife Expo 2008 is in the fall (Sept 25-2 
at the Jacob Javits Center on the west side and is open to the public.
Control the amount of light, the color, and effects coming through your futuristic home’s windows with Philips new Dynamic Daylight Window. A simple wave of the hand is the interface. Amazing.
Awesome DJs, totally free, great people and great energy, this is FESTIVUS! My man Lee Cabrera tore up the sound system!
The after party is at Love now in the West Village (MacDougal & 8th St), we’re heading there in a cab now!
Check out this very well produced video predicting our near future. Me likey.

Live performance by Ra Ra Riot, DJ Josh Madden. You’re supposed to RSVP, but the deadline was Monday, so just make up some gibberish at the door — retail store parties are usually a cake walk.

well drinksA sumptuous chandelier-lit, dramatically banquetted enclave, Secret Lounge is this week’s closest thing to a gay bar (assuming you don’t count all the polysexual “Trash” rip-off festivities every other night of the week). It’s in Chelsea, but the crowd is mixed. So don’t get disppointed, chickies, if those smartly dressed guys you’ve been eyeing in the joint start tonguing after a few trips down the well.

PBR and well vodka drinks, no coverThey’re very generous over at Lit — a fucking half-hour open bar, and PBR, no less? Might as well spit in my decolletage and ask me to tap dance at my own mother’s funeral…on Christmas!

I stumbled upon this little guy scurrying around the show floor at DigitalLife and had to stop and interact. It’s basically a high powered PC on motorized wheels with infrared, optic, and audio sensors that help it intreprete and navigate its surroundings. Here’s a picture of what he looks like naked without that itchy Hummer exoskeleton on:
The CEO and father of the PC-Bot was on the scene and told me his company White Box Robotics had just been acquired by an unnamed military contractor. Does this mean we’ll see waves of these little autobots plowing through the streets of Baghdad soon?

I’m watching a Microsoft demo on Vista and they’re showing off a new VX Revolution notebook mouse. The scroll wheel engages and disengages single/multi-scroll mouse wheel depending on how you need to use it. Very cool!
Here’s the Vista-enabled VX Revolution mouse from Logitech:
And here’s the MicroGear technology:
Logitech’s ’spin’ on the new mouse wheel:
A new concept in PC navigation, the MicroGear™ Precision Scroll Wheel operates in two distinct modes, allowing you to scroll faster and with more precision than ever before:
Free-spin mode for hyper-fast, nearly frictionless scrolling. With a single flick, the machined alloy wheel spins for up to seven seconds, scrolling hundreds of pages or thousands of rows. Fly through long documents, and instantly stop wherever you want.
Click-to-click mode for detailed navigation. An ultra-precise ratchet-scrolling mechanism allows users to move line-by-line through complex spreadsheets, step through slideshows, or travel small vertical distances in documents or Web pages.

SonyEricsson had a slew of brand spankin’ new Bluetooth enabled wristwatches on display today. Suprisingly not just the ugly, huge, dorkware variety either! I really liked the white sport model. All these watches connect to your mobile phone wirelessly to display caller ID information as well as other programmable data such as todo lists or appointments. Pretty sweet!
This is absolutely insane. A giant 15 foot tall inflatable dome room with 360 degree live video surrounding you. They had it set up running Second Life. The immersive experience is like no other. Awesome!

Even though it can’t make coffee for you or wipe your bottom, the Verizon ONE has upped the Internet appliance market one with adding fiber optic service support as well as adding in some cool (although closed source) widgets that let you check basic email and pay your bills from your home phone’s screen. Open that source code Verizon or you’re looking at a sitting duck and lagging subscriptions.

This thing is badass. I just played some basketball game and the graphics were UNREAL! Gamestop.com is taking pre-orders for this $599 bruiser but that won’t guarantee you actually get one (even if you CAN afford one). The graphics on this, especially on a giant 1080p screen, are unrivaled in the next-gen console field. But superior gameplay and lower prices make the Nintendo Wii a frightening contender in the 06 Holiday season. Not to mention the fact that Wii topped both CircuitCity and Toys R Us’s #1 Christmas Wishlists.
Hey Sony! Can I get a limo ride if I one up your PS3 on this blog?
