New Dell ad music - I am green today

The new Dell ad has the very melodious music of Kara Wiley's song - Colors. Believe it or not - the album is labeled as "Yoga for Children". But the music is anything but. Colors is definitely the best track on the album and can be bought from both Amazon.com as well as iTunes.com. But the best way to pick up this CD is through CDBaby, as you get all the songs for $15 and an illustrated booklet to help your kids do some yoga.

Here is a link to her music video for Colors on YouTube.com.

and the Dell Ad featuring the song.

Here are lyrics for the song - Colors.

I am green today
I chirp with joy like a cricket song.
I am gray today
Gloomy and down like a morning fog.
I am orange today
Loud and messy like finger paint on the wall.
I am red today
Hopping mad like a playground ball.
I am black today
Strong and tall a great big bear.
I am purple today
Bright and happy like a butterfly in the air.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.
I am yellow today
I shine my light out like the sun.
I am white today
Soft and quite like new snow.
I am blue today
Calm as glass and cool like the sea.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world.
I'm a rainbow today
All the colors of the world are in me.
All the colors of the world are in me.

GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting is a Web-hosted service created and marketed by Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems. It is remote meeting and desktop sharing software, which means that it enables the user to meet with other computer users via the Internet.

GoToMeeting was developed in July 2004 by Citrix Online of Santa Barbara, California. It was designed to allow the desktop view of a host computer to be broadcast to a group of computers connected to the host through the Internet. Transmissions could be protected with high-security encryption and optional passwords. By combining a Web-hosted subscription service with software installed on the host computer, transmissions could be passed through highly restrictive firewalls.

GoToMeeting has been sold in two editions - Personal and Corporate - providing increasing service management capabilities. Version 3, released in 2006, maintains these editions, providing Macintosh attendee support and Microsoft Office integration. Software is installed by logging onto the GoToMeeting Web site. GoToMeeting features in all editions include:

Encryption and authentication security provided by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web site with end-to-end 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and optional passwords
Specific application sharing for showing only selected programs with attendees
24-bit color when accessing a host PC supporting this display mode
Multi-monitor support for a client PC
Several competing products exist, including other Web-hosted services, and both commercial and free software. These include WebEx's Meeting Center and Microsoft's Live Meeting.

At the time GoToMeeting emerged, WebEx, LiveNote and others catered mostly to large corporations and sales divisions, entering in six-figure contracts. Citrix Online released GoToMeeting on an "all you can meet" basis, with one monthly (or annual charge) based on the number of authorized hosts. This pricing model was unique at the time, but has since been copied by competitors.

iPhone

It also offers Internet services including e-mail, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity. The first generation phone hardware was quad-band GSM with EDGE; the second generation uses UMTS and HSDPA.

Apple announced the iPhone on 9 January 2007. The announcement was preceded by rumors and speculations that circulated for several months. The iPhone was initially introduced in the United States on 29 June 2007 and is in the process of being introduced worldwide. It was named Time magazine's Invention of the Year in 2007. On 9 June 2008, the iPhone 3G was unveiled, which supports 3G phone standard and includes Assisted GPS.

Does the Crayola 3D sidewalk chalk work?

Does the Crayola 3D sidewalk chalk work? That is what I wondered when I saw the ad on TV.

This review is from http://atoyinfo.blogspot.com/2008/06/crayola-3-d-chalk.html

Wow..I was amazed at this product. I've seen many commercials on TV and thought this would be a gimmick...and that the 3D effects would be uneffective.
However, boy was I surprised! It works like it says it does...and my kids LOVED it. When you wear the INCLUDED 3D glasses...everything really works as described. I love it! The kids love it!
This is probably the coolest toy all year so far...I'm picking up a few more packs on Amazon as I right this review.
Overall this product is just what everyone says it is...AWESOME. Your kid will love it.

About the product from the manufacturer:

Outdoor Art Goes 3D! Toy Wishes Magazine Names 3D Sidewalk Chalk “Hot Summer Toy”

New Crayola 3D Sidewalk Chalk will have kids saying “Sweeeet,” as they watch their artistic creations float in mid-air! Recently named to Toy Wishes magazine’s Spring 2008 Hot Dozen list -- the editor-selected hottest toys of the summer season -- the dual-ended, multi-colored sticks of chalk combine the right colors for creating eye-popping 3D driveway art that literally “rises above” anything they’ve ever created outdoors. Cool, Crayola-inspired 3D glasses make the magic happen. Put on a pair and watch the “warm” colors rise, while “cool” colors recede, creating the illusion of 3D. Seeing is believing! Crayola 3D Sidewalk is available in two assortments:

Classic Set of 5 sticks of dual-ended 3D Sidewalk chalk (10 colors in all), a pair of durable plastic 3D glasses and a “How To” booklet that shows kids how to make their very own 3D scenes. ($4.99)

Deluxe Outdoor Activity Sets with 8 pieces of dual-ended 3D Sidewalk chalk (16 colors), a bottle of Crayola Sidewalk paint, a paint brush, 3D glasses and a “How To” booklet, plus 4 giant stencils in Jungle Safari or Underwater Adventure themes. ($9.99)
