This first video is of a home theater set-up I did on "Open House NYC" on NBC. This segment was placed on Taxi TV in NYC and by the amount of response I got, I swear that more people watch that then the TODAY show. Here's a link to the hit.
This was one of those moments that you want to burn into your brain forever...and thanks to the Internet, I can!
It was a warm 70 out at the end of Feb...the perfect Saturday with Momma in the yard. He was just so sweet talking to all these worms sitting on the table then taking them one by one and stashing them in his little pocket. I feel so lucky.
Now, I can't forget to get those guys outta there before I wash his pants! Ever done that???
Sometimes when I'm faced with a blank Google page I have no idea where to go. This is a site that shows a bunch of bookmarks to the most popular sites on the web in the most popular categories. Is it revolutionary? No. Do I like looking at it? Yes.
(Thank you Jen's List)
I'm here at the show and I've seen some amazing stuff. I'll give you the goods from today then update you before my TODAY Show hit Saturday morning.

Samsung has introduced their Samsung 8000 Series LED HDTV and it's amazing! This new form of picture technology called LEDuses LED lighting and brings the most beautifully clear image I've ever seen. It truly surpasses others and not only with it's image quality, especially when viewing fast action because it has a technology called Auto Motion Plus 240Hz but because of it's overall look with chrome exterior, and its slim 1-inch size. In fact, it's arguably the slimmest TVs ever made. I also love the extras on this set. It's Internet ready allowing you access to movies, email, web video and more, all in your living room making this an entertainment hub!
Next up is a very interesting concept that's revolutionizing the way we start up and shut down our PCs. This netbook of mine is a bit old and takes a very long time to to actually get up and running and often even longer shutting down. It's one of the most frustrating parts of my day! This downloadable web interface from Phoenix Technologies is appropriately called HyperSpace because it allows you to access the web within seconds of cracking open your screen or shut down with hyper speeds. It chooses an automatically connects to best avalibleavailable network on its own, which also saves you time and headache. Imagine it, no need to wait for your computer to boot up into Windows in order to get online. And because it uses less resources to run it also saves battery life to up to 30%.
I'm happy about the announcement here at CES that the iHomeAudio iH41 alarm clock and docking station is going to be iPhone compatible. Currently this is a great dock because it's designed specifically to take advantage of the wide screen video capabilities of your Touch or Nano. I like how you can prop it up and it knows how to change its orientation. Along with being able to charge your iPod this device allows you to wake up to your own play lists and even videos! What a great way to watch your favorite videos in bed without disturbing your significant other. It’s available on iHomeaudio.com for $79.99 and you can use the promo code CES20 to get an additional 20% off your entire order in January
Looking around at all of this new technology has me excited about what I'm going to be seeing up on eBay. All of the early adopters here are buzzing about getting this stuff up on eBay but what I'm looking for about the rocking deals they're going have on last years models!
Last week I was on the TODAY Show talking about "Eco Friendly Gadgets" with Al. He's great because he's into what I'm saying and has fun with what I ask him to do.

Yesterday I shot a holiday gift segment for Extra! that will air next Sat at 3pm.
I'm on the TODAY Show again on the 23rd talking about holiday gifts!
Thanks for checking up - Cat
If you're looking for a gift for a gamer this holiday then here are some suggestions for ya. When looking at popular gifts on eBay I've seen the video game consoles flying off (and on) the site! In fact, on eBay, a video game system is sold every 20 seconds!
Next up is a partnership I'm SO excited about! XBOX360 just teamed up with Netflix and starting TODAY you can access more than 12,000 movies instantly through your XBOX. You just need a LIVE gold membership and your subscription to Netflix and you're set! For you movie buffs, there’s also a new game out where you can also make movies. This is the new game clled “Your in the Movies” and it comes with a video camera. Use the cam to record yourself, edit and play back movies that you create.
So what's hot? I'm loving the newest version of this popular Nintendo DS game called Guitar Hero on Tour: Decades . Its now better than ever and you can rock out to hits through the decades from the 1970s to today including songs by Fall out Boys, Bon Jovi, and Queen. It comes with this cool guitar grip and the neat little pick so you really feel like you're playing the guitar! And get this, you can link up to another DS players with any version of the game, and stream songs while going head-t-head! Plus , of course, with the DS the best part of the fun is that you can take it wherever you go!
Party games are always popular gifts and when you're looking at them for the Wii you're probably interested in a game that'll get ya up and going! Celebrity Sports Showdown from EA SPORTS Freestyle is sure to be a huge hit. The object of the game is to become the ultimate celebrity sports champion and it's SO fun! It’s the Ultimate Wii party game, for people of all ages because it has instant pick up and play action with fun, motion-based and easy-to-play controls designed specifically for the Wii.

Motion gaming is HOT and now you can play at a gret price point. SwingZone SPORTS on UltiMotion system by Jakks Pacific. It comes with a wireless motion controller so the kids can jump, wave around and move on the TV screen. In th ebox it comes with snap-on toys for the controller such as a baseball bat, tennis racket, and golf club for when you’re playing sports. It’s super affordable at just under $100. Also, it's really easy to set up too, all you to set up are cords that just plug it in the A/V jacks of the TV and your set!
Now finally, if budget is really tight this year think online gaming. Gamehouse.com is a great resource for the whole family with a large catalog of online and downloadable PC games from puzzle and word games to adventure and hidden object titles that you can download at affordable prices. One of my favorites is Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox a really cool strategy game and the sequel to one of the most popular PC games last year, where you follow Mortimer on a wild trip through time.
