Being Home Sick Isn’t Always A Bad Thing
I’m home from work today, feeling crummy… It’s no fun feeling yucky when it’s a pretty Spring (almost Spring) day outside and you’re stuck inside. I guess being home isn’t all bad though as it seems that the gadget deities decided to take pity on me. I have been visited by both Fedex and DHL

Do You Log Your Life?
Do you keep a daily diary or journal? If you do, is it paper, PDA or computer based? I have several diaries from when I was a kid. Little hardbound ‘blank’ books as they used to call them. I found a couple the other day when I was looking for a book on one of

DaysAgo Digital Day Counter
“Don’t worry honey, I just fed the dog for today”
“Um.. I already fed the dog two hours ago!”
This type of conversation is a common one in my household. From feeding the dog to cleaning out the fridge, it can be complicated to keep track of it all. When I saw the DaysAgo timer, I knew that I had try one as soon as possible, so that we could stave off potential canine obesity in my household.

Two Days With The Nokia 6131 (6126)
This week I’ve been using the Nokia 6131 that I purchased last summer. This is a quad band GSM phone that I believe was originally available in Europe and then was released here in the US as the 6126 (I’m pretty sure these two phones are the same model, please correct me if I am

Keyspan TuneView for iPod
I have reviewed several different iPod docking stations that allow you to connect your 4G or 5G iPod to your TV or stereo. These docks typically ship with a small remote so that you can adjust volume and move forwards and backwards through tracks and content while you are sitting on your couch. I’ve almost always run into the problem where I would like to navigate to a specific song and to do so, it requires me to get up and walk over to the iPod so that I can see the display / menus. Thanks to the folks at Keyspan, that will no longer be necessary.

Victorinox Travel Companion 2-Way Carry Horizontal Tote
Ah… bags. Yes, it’s an addiction. Got a million of them in the attic, many gathering dust. I buy them, use them, find something better and then move on. My requirements for a gadget bag are simple: lots of pockets and/or compartments, have rough dimensions of 10-12 inches long, 7-8 inches tall and 4-6 inches deep. The CityWalker and Europa Field bags are both excellent examples of the kind of bag I love. I use the Europa to tote my Fujitsu P1510D laptop to work every day, but for my travels this year I decided on a new bag. A beautiful, black and compartmentalized bag from Victorinox called the Travel Companion Horizontal Tote.

Over the years, we have reviewed quite a few laptop stands and laptop desks. Most of these products have been constructed of metal, plastic or a combination of both. I think today’s review of the LapDawg will be the first wooden laptop stand / desk that I’ve reviewed.

Macros and Cron Jobs
Earlier this week for my day job (Cummins Inc.), I had to give a presentation of an application called WinBatch to a group of people from China. WinBatch is a simple macro language for Windows computers. It allows you to write automated programs that mimic a user sitting at a keyboard using any application. At
