Blog-tag is a simple web game started by Jeff Pulver. The rule is simple, I’m supposed to share five things most people wouldn’t know about me, and then tag five other bloggers in the blogosphere. Judie of GearDiary.com tagged me a couple of days back, so here goes:

1. I studied pre-med in college with the aspiration to some day become a neonatal surgeon. Then towards the end of my junior year, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t want to spend the next ten years of my life in school. So ten years later, I’m blogging for a living.
2. I enjoy Bailey with my coffee in the morning and hot chocolate late at night.
3. I met Jay Leno on the stage of the Tonight Show.
4. I won a contest in 10th grade to create and produce a PSA (public service announcement) video that aired on TV for three months.
5. I enjoy watching 24, Heros and Prison Break.

Now it’s my turn to tag Ewdison Then, Bjorn Stromberg, Joel Johnson, Chris Davies and Jason O’Grady.

At long last, we have our first proof that completed, operation PlayStation 3 game consoles really do exist, and we now have our first shots of one of these “premium” consoles out in the wild. Thanks to the guys over at PSM (the lucky recipients of this completed console), we also have our first impressions as to how one of these $500, good-luck-in-finding-one consoles works and operates. So what did they find? Read on after the jump!

Every now and then someone comes up with an idea or concept that makes you go ah ha! The concept of using dual screens on a cell phone or portable gaming device is not new. So what’s the problem? Why haven’t we seen a cell phone with two large screens? Perhaps it’s because manufacturers haven’t resolved the issue with the battery, since it does take more juice to power the dual screens. There’s also the issue of price. Dual color screen on a cell phone will definitely raise the price; someone’s going to have to eat the cost whether it’s the manufacturer or consumers.

The Palm Treo 700p, the announcement of which we covered earlier this week, is the latest in Palm’s long Treo line of smartphones. Available by the end of this month, the Treo 700p is Palm’s fastest PalmOS-based Treo yet, and brings a number of new features and benefits to the table. The Treo 700p joins it’s Windows Mobile-based cousin, the Treo 700w, the Treo 700p will be available from either Verizon Wireless or Sprint, and we here at Digital Lifestyle Magazine have been given the opportunity to take Palm’s new baby for a ride.
