You have digital images, digital video and even digital audio. What if you want to experience digital quality on your television? It’s not so easy to do, unless you have a specific device such as Hi-Den.

The Hi-Den HDMI Digital Photo Viewer is a small easy-to-use device that allows you to view your photos, watch videos, or listen to music right on your HDTV. Forget crowding around the computer. Sit back and relax on your couch while sharing your fave pics and vides with everyone. Show pictures on HDTV by inserting a memory card or USB drive. Play your favorite MP3 files through your tv, or watch slide shows from the last family reunion.

Assuming you have an HDMI television or a cable, you’ll be able to easily set this up. It has an AC adapter, and a remote control! It allows you to browse, or choose what type of device to watch from. You can even adjust the resolution right from the remote… supporting up to a whopping 1080p!! That’s about as good as it gets these days.

If you know of other cool devices I need to check out and review, drop me a line. I’m always looking for the latest and greatest gadgets!

The biggest problem I have with my digital photos is that they’re not fun enough. Maybe you’re in the same quandary. You want to make your photos more fun. We’ve talked before about Websites and software in the past that can make your photos more fun, including this one I want to show you today.

Primps allows you to have fun with your pictures. Upload your picture (or link to it from somewhere on the Web), add some text bubbles and crazy objects, then save your image. There’s nothing to sign up for, nor pay for. You don’t need to create a login, nor even use your email address. There are several different things you can tweak and play with to edit your image, and make it be the best it can be.

Now you know where you can go to do some quick text additions to a photo. Yeah, you could load it into your image editor. However, it’s easier to just go to Primps and save it out. I just showed you how easy it is. It doesn’t get simpler than this. What more do you want? Seriously… I want to know. Email me. Tell me about other cool websites that others haven’t heard of yet. Pass it along, and I’ll show the rest of the community.
