A person that I work with at my day job (Cummins Inc.) came up to me and asked me if I knew what ‘wiki’ was. I said sure, it’s an online encyclopedia. Then he said “Do you know you’re in it?” and I was like “No way…”. Come to find out, he was reading up

Happy Birthday to me! :o) It’s that day of the year again where I get to have a great day with my friends and family. One of my friends is taking me out to lunch and my Dad is taking me out to dinner tonight. Free food, can’t beat that ;o) Growing up, we didn’t

Hi Guys! I’m back from my vacation in the sunny SouthWest (Sedona and Phoenix Arizona). It was a great week! Lots of great scenery, great food, hiking to work off the great food, my first hot air balloon ride and I think we saw a celebrity today while waiting for our flight home at the

I’m still in sunny Arizona. Just left Sedona today to drive back to Phoenix. Going to spend one day here (tomorrow) and then fly home Friday. It’s been a great week! I’m beat though. Isn’t that the way most vacations go? You need a vacation to get over your vacation? Hahah! I’ve added some pix

It’s after 9pm and I’ve only just started packing for my vacation to Sedona, Arizona. I leave for the airport in less than 10hrs. EEP! Of course the most important part of my packing is my tech gear ;o) I’ll be gone for a whole week, but I don’t want to over pack. So here

I just (1 minute ago) received an email from Palm with a link to a software update for Treo 680 AT&T / Cingular customers. Although I am an AT&T customer, I’m not sure that this upgrade will work with my unbranded 680. If any of you install it, let us know how it works out.

These days, PDAs / Phones don’t ship with handy dandy desktop charging and syncing cradles. If you miss having one, JAVOedge sells cradles for various devices. They sent me their Treo 750 desktop cradle to try out. Even though it says it’s for the 750, it works just fine with my Treo 680 which you

I’m a firm believer in the fact that you’re never too old to play with toys. Especially RC toys from HobbyTron.com. I had a great time with their mega popular PicooZ Helicopter last year. Then in January I had the opportunity to meet with the HobbyTron folks during a special event at the Consumer Electronics

The week after next I’ll be going on vacation to Sedona, Arizona. This will be my 2nd time there. If you’ve never been, put on your list of must visit places. It’s gorgeous and relaxing. I’ll be spending 1.5 days in Phoenix and wonder if anyone can suggest some interesting places to see and things

I feel like I’ve just reached a new level of geekiness and of course I wanted to share it with all of you :o) This week has been pretty eventful. Tuesday I had a T1 line put into my house (Gadgeteer HQ). There were problems getting it to work and as a result, I had

Are you still trying to figure out what to get for your Mom for Mother’s Day this coming Sunday? Yeah, I tend to be a procrastinator too… But here’s an idea that you might want to consider. Best Buy has specially packaged Pink or Silver 4gb iPod nanos in festive polka-dotted boxes. -Features a pink

Guess what showed up on my doorstep yesterday? Ok yeah, you already know since you read the title of this post. :o) It’s Palm’s new Palm OS Treo 755p for Sprint. I won’t paste in a long press release since I rarely read those things myself. I will tell you the highlights of this new
