Some of you might be aware of the fact that I’m one of the authors over at Neatorama. With the launch of the new feature “Upcoming Queue“, you can also be a contributer.

Here’s how this new feature works:

Do you have a blog and would like it featured on Neatorama? Have you ever found something neat/funny/weird on the Web and would like to share it with all of Neatorama’s readers? Now you can.

Of course, there needs to be a mechanism to separate good posts from bad ones (like spam, for instance). The Upcoming Queue makes this easy by letting you vote good posts up and bad ones down. Posts that gather a lot of positive votes will then be promoted to the blog’s front page.

Learn more about it all in the Neatorama Upcoming Queue post where you also can read about the chance for you to get your hands on a free iPod Touch or T-shirt.

Good luck with you submissions!

P.S. I’ve just published a post about the return of GeekAlerts over at Neatorama.

The Dane-Elec Zpen device provides you with a quick and easy way to transfer all of your handwritten notes directly to your computer, kind of like we have seen with the Iogear, the Quickies and the Mobile Notetaker.

Zpen works by attaching the recieverbox onto a notepad or clipboard (up to A4 in size) and switch it on. Now you can write down whatever or as much as you want, using the Zpen ballpen, and it will be transfered directly to the memorystick in the recieverbox. The memorystick can hold up to 1 GB of data = A LOT of notes!

When you then are done for the day and want to transfer the notes to your PC, all you have to do is to plug it into a USB port on your PC and open one of the three “tools” that are included in the Zpen set.
