- Awesome Talent!
He has paired his God given gifts with some styles of those of the past. Great Job!

Rating:

- Literally the year of the gentleman
All the songs on this album are love songs (a known trait of neyo), for those of you who don't know. The best songs on the album are tracks 3, 4, 5. Other than that, I believe the album is mediocre at best.

Rating:

- IMO the best mainstream soul CD out now
Once I hear his single "So Sick" I was sold on his voice and songwriting. But to my disappointment, as with most mainstream artist, I didn't like his first two albums because of the hip hop feel or soap operaish topics. While I didn't like those complete albums I always had favorite songs from them. But this album, Year of the Gentleman, is exactly what I was looking for when I hear Ne-Yo for the first time. Smooth voice and excellent songwriting over respectful quality mature topics. I like the whole album.

- Ne-Yo - Year of The Gentleman
Ne-Yo is one of a kind. There is no other artist out there that can write a song like him. And on this album, Ne-Yo really gives you some good quality R&B music. Unlike his first two albums, which both i would consider more pop than R&B, this album really focuses on the R&B side more. Ne-Yo has never had the best voice, but he has always found a way to make it work. And yet again he works with previous collaborators Stargate to make another great album, and in my opinion, Ne-Yo's best work to date. The thing that really made this album speacial is that its not as holey as his other albums. By that i mean, Year of The Gentleman is an album that you can play almost all the way through, only skipping a two or three tracks. On his first two album, all he really gave you were some amazing singles and a couple of good album tracks, the rest was filler to me. On this album, the album tracks are some of the highlights, like on the very groovey and bluesy "Fade Into The Background" where Ne-Yo sings the story of watching a woman that he wanted get married. And on the amazing and very up beat guitar laced Stargate produced "Back To What You Know", he tells his woman "If you dont wanna be with me, than go back to what you know". But the singles on this album, are actually where some of the mistakes happen. Besides the cleary addicting and truly amazing "Miss Independent", the other singles "Closer" and "Mad" are kind of dull. "Closer" was alright for a while, but then it just got way to over played, and on "Mad" i just feel like hes whining to much. And then on "So You Can Cry" Ne-Yo sounds like hes choking on some food while hes singing, so that track was a miss, but it couldve been a great track if he didnt sing like a two year old on it. But other than those tracks there are some great songs on this album, like the Michael Jacksonish "Nobody", which litterally sounds like it could have been written for MJ, and on the sad and dark "Why Does She Stay" Ne-Yo brings back that So Sick feel with a great mid tempo ballad about how he doesnt treat his woman right. Overall, Ne-Yo provides his best work to date with "Year of The Gentleman", but i still do think he can give us more. But a great album none the less.

Grade:
B+

Eye-Fi Share on Sale for $65 at Amazon

Amazon.com is offering a so-called Black Friday special on Eye-Fi Share:
The 2 GB Wi-Fi-enabled Secure Digital card normally runs $90; it's $65 while the sale lasts.

Given that Eye-Fi introduced a limited-time-only 4 GB "Anniversary" model that replaced the 2 GB Share version in its current line-up, and that the Anniversary model was $130 list but $100 for Costco members, it's pretty clear that the 2 GB won't re-appear, the 4 GB model will drop in price, and Amazon's acting as a clearance center.

The Eye-Fi Share lets you upload pictures over a local network to a designated computer, or upload via a Wi-Fi network for which the Eye-Fi is configured to connect over the Internet to Eye-Fi's servers, and from there to a specified photo-sharing, social-network, or photo-printing service.

I'm a fan of the Eye-Fi, although I favor the currently $130 Explore model (see my review), which comes with geotagging (via Skyhook Wireless) and adds a year of included uploading via Wayport locations (now part of AT&T).

Nokia Smart Home Solution Puts Power of Control Onto Your Cellphone [Smart Home]

With energy conservation and easy eco-friendliness on just about everybody's agenda these days, one of the most popular concepts is the “Smart Home,” a living environment that knows just how much power you actually need to be comfortable and gives you not a drop more. Nokia's hopping on that wagon with its new Nokia Home Control Center, a Linux-based platform that will control your house's resources via your mobile phone.

According to Nokia, the NHCC will allow third-party developers to create services that are added onto the accessibility platform. That way, you'll rarely come across an incident where some new smart home tech you bought doesn't actually work with your main controller. NHCC works with Z-Wave, ZigBee and KNX, three of the most common command languages for home networks. It will be launched some time in 2009. [Nokia via Treehugger]
