The Search Engine Strategies conference was held in New York from March 17-20, and Kevin Ryan, one of the show’s organizers, got inspired to give away specially limited edition SES Crumpler schwag because I forced him to because he loves me.
This bag comes with a laptop compartment and more, and it is rockin.
Other Search Engine Strategies conferences include SES Toronto on June 17-18 and SES San Jose from August 18-21. I’ll probably be at the San Jose event, so be sure to say hi.
Thanks, Kevin and crew!
Jeremiah at the Microsoft Live Search Webmaster Central team showed me some nifty Microsoft technology with this super cool Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000.
Since I love gadgets and tech stuff, I decided to change the tune of Schwag Addict to turn this into a gadget review. Bear with me as this is new territory, but this should be fun for all of us. 😉
The Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 combines a powerful Microsoft mouse with a laser pointer which makes the name “Presenter Mouse” quite appropriate. The mouse comes complete with a scroll wheel, media remote (for presentations), a 2.4 GHz bluetooth connector, and a battery indicator to inform you if your battery is running low.
To get started, simply plug in the connector to your computer and you’re ready to roll. Using the mouse, you can control computers at up to 30 feet away. The presenter mouse takes two AAA alkaline batteries and comes in a hard plastic case for ease of travel. It measures 3.68 inches long and 2.22 inches wide.
The presenter mouse is a sweet deal at $79.95 (MSRP), though you can find it cheaper if you search. From all the “portable mice” I’ve seen, this looks to be one of the more promising keepers.
The really nice guys over at online shipping marketplace uShip.com sent me a box filled with goodies, including a huge sticker, a hat, pens, cup holders, and 2 cups. Little did they know that when this package arrived at my doorstep, I was actually in town at SXSW! I totally could have picked up the schwag myself 😉 (For what it’s worth, though, my luggage was so heavy with all the schwag that I got from the event that I had to pay an extra $20 to get my luggage on the plane!)
Thanks, uShip!
