Notes: Banhammers, Japanese Life Hacks, Writing (Finally)
Hello there. Here's a personal note: Lisa's book has been getting some fine praise around the web, particularly from BB's Cory. And here's my plug for my sweetheart's work, a fun collection of Urawaza, or Japanese lifehacks that'll help you do just about anything better. More »

Ixp-Note is Post-It Note Of the Future: Digital, Alarming
A team of designers in Britain have give the good old fashioned Post-It note a 21st Century electronic make-over. Their Ixp-Note device is a new digital version incorporating a touchpad and alarm: you just slide to select time and date, and write down what you need reminding of. When it's time, it bleeps and the little thermo-chromic ink pad changes color. Neat, hey? More »

The Gizmodo reader meetup happened on Saturday at Alpine Meadows and we had a great time. The snow was soft, the gadgets were plentiful, the beer flowed and no one fell on their head except Joe, who got a black eye when he face planted on the first run. The photos above were uploaded on Nokia N95s to a central share. I didn't upload many, but I did spend most of my day fiddling with a Zune preloaded with songs to ride to. More »

Snowboarding Reader Meetup Tomorrow: Custom Gizmodo Zune Giveaway
The little reader meetup on Saturday April 5th (that's TOMORROW!) continues to grow. Alpine Meadows is hosting us, treating us to breakfast, putting up a big Gizmodo banner, and giving our volunteer Red One camera crew a snowmobiled chaperon. Olympus is sending us a waterproof 1030 cam to demo. And Brian from the Zune team is coming out with some demo Zunes preloaded with good music to shred to. (I've picked a few tracks, but the Zune team's own music experts are dialing in a playlist, too.) Even better they're giving away a few Zunes with custom drawn Gizmodo logos. Who would have thought this little event would get so much love?

Spring Snowboard and Ski Reader Meetup: I'm Feeling the Love
Hey, if you haven't heard I'm doing an informal reader meet up April 5th, at (I think) Alpine Meadows in Tahoe. The point will be to ski or snowboard, while testing out some gadgets in the real world. What's cool is that plenty of people are coming and that there'll be some fun gear to play with while we're there. And more and more cool gear is showing up at this shindig. More »

There's a story in Wired about your favorite gadget blog. It's a feature and as you can see, on top of the writing the photography is bad ass.

Notes: F*ck China and Anything Made There
It's not my beat at all, and I never went to any Free Tibet concerts for either the hipness or the music or the politics, but this BS that China is pulling over Tibet is starting to bother me. Now there's this strange tale of Tibetans rioting with zero backlash from the Chinese, and I'm getting an even worse feeling. It could be a PR move, but maybe they're just taking their time to roll in some tanks and the lull is a feint. More »

Kotaku Congrats
Cheers to two of our Kotaku buddies, Bash and McMike. Ashcraft just found out that he's just spawned another, portable version of himself. Hurray! And McWhertor's classy T-Shirt store just launched after years of me bugging him about it. Double Hurray! Congrats from everyone at Gizmodo. [Meat Bun (Mike's Store)]

Good news: A couple of handfuls of people said they could make the spring ski/snowboard/gadget reader meetup. I think we'll do Saturday, April 5th, on some yet to be decided North Lake Tahoe resort. Better news? Nokia is going to bring a bunch of N95s along so we can do some livebroadcasting and stuff. More »

MegaPhone Allows iPhone Note Editing on Your Computer
Ho! Finally an app that makes the Notes software on your iPhone about 100% more useful. MegaPhone, which was iPhoneDrive, lets you view and edit your iPhone-created notes directly on your Mac. You can even switch fonts from the default Marker Felt to another of the built-in iPhone fonts (Helvetica, Arial) on a note by note basis. What this means to you is that shopping lists, to-do lists, and other text-heavy apps can move easily to and from your iPhone. [ECamm via TUAW]

Notes: Zombie Hotels in Spain
Hello. I'm still in Spain. Between jetlag, posting madness, and some insane hotel reservations, I ended up getting an hour of sleep each of the last two nights, which led to all sorts of vomiting and paranoia in between the blogging. More »

Notes: Meeting My Crazy Spanish and British Writers
It's been a happy day in the way that I finally met Jesús and Addy (of Gizmodo) and there was none of that meeting you for the first time but not-on-the-internet weirdness you usually get. I landed in Madrid last night and Jesús had all his coolant drop out of his sports car like its water broke, so we ended up towing the thing and taking a cab out of there. The airport was the most beautiful I've ever seen up close, made of concrete, orange pillars, curvy wooden ceilings and lots of glass. More »
