As you can imagine, Julie and I see all sorts of laptop and gear bags in all sorts of styles and flavors. Obviously, some of them are better than others. Some of them have redeeming features but they aren’t quite ready for prime-time, and some…well some are so bad that we send e-mails back and

We just got home – what a fantastic trip! Steve had a great CT Scan at MD Anderson, the Gators won, and Jeff Gordon came in within the top 5…so we bought a Powerball ticket! HA! I wrote up a quick recap of game day – it’s totally non-gadget related so consider yourself warned…

Where did this weekend go? I wasted much of it on the couch in my office, playing Bubble Shooter 2 by Absolutist. My favorite version is “Strategy,” which I play in expert mode with slippy bubbles, graphics high, sound off, and effects low. No clue what I am talking about? Check out the game. Just

Product Requirements: Sony CLIÉ NZ90 A question that presents itself when one owns a metal clamshell PDA, such as the Sony CLIÉ NZ90, is whether an aftermarket case is even necessary.
