I just wanted to give you all an iPod and FlatScreenTV giveaway update: I am still waiting for the iPod account to be approved. We have met the requirements and they are still reviewing it! I must say that they are either very thourough, or they are just very slow. We are going on two

In my quest to create an all digital music collection, I have ripped a good portion of my seemingly never-ending CDs. There are still quite a few that have not yet been done, and there have been more than a few errors and duplications along the way. Jeremy, with LIVEdigitally, has brought a new service

After stopping another CES attendee just to get him to show me his camera, I discovered the new Sony DSC-M1. I’ve put in an order, and I am hoping that I will love it. Otherwise, back it goes! Are you a product of the 80’s? I definitely am. I have a 75.55 on this quiz

Happy New Year’s Day, everybody! With the new year comes new resolutions…some to be kept and some to be discarded after a week or so. I’m pledging the obvious ones – work out more, eat healthy, and keep my spending in check. Hopefully I can keep two out of three, if not all three. What

We are back safe and sound from our trip to Hawaii. While Julie was suffering from the snow you saw in her pictures, we were lazing on the beach, walking over lava flow on the Big Island and climbing Diamond Head on Oahu. What a contrast! These are two pictures from Christmas Day – nothing

Well, I will say Happy Holidays to all of you a bit early, as we are off to catch a plane shortly. I hope that you all wake to gadgety surprises under the tree, and that your family time together is wonderful! I’ll be back December 26th – hopefully with a tan and a new
