Today I’m going to tell you about 3 Huntlight LED flashlights from J.S. Burly’s that showed up in my mailbox.

Here’s something for those of you that like to goof around with cube toys when you should be working. You KNOW who you are! Acrobots from our friends in the UK at CrazyAboutGadgets.com come in singles or 3-packs. These are little people shaped thingies with magnetic feet and hands. You can pose their bodies, and

Off topic alert… Last August, we had to put our 15 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi to sleep. I didn’t think I’d ever be ready to have another dog again, since Kasey was my first dog and it really tore me up when she was gone. One year has passed and now the ‘when can

Tonight I decided to go ahead and try / buy 2 of 9 the new iPod games, because the preview option through the ITMS (iTunes Music Store) didn’t work for me. After downloading it took me awhile to get the games to install on my iPod. I kept getting an error telling me that my

I wonder how many other people out there are sitting at their desk hitting the refresh button on various Mac websites when they are supposed to be working? ;o) You gotta love Apple event days! New 80gb iPod… Hmmmmm, I may be placing an order as soon as the Apple store comes back up, IF

Everyone sing along with me… “Back home again… in Indianaaaaaa….” Yes, I’m back in good old boring Columbus, Indiana. Yay! I love New York City, but it’s sure nice to get back to my quiet house with deer in the yard and coyotes in the woods (yes, I saw 2 coyotes about 2 weeks ago).

I was finally able to visit the Apple store on 5th Avenue today! But as luck would have it, I didn’t even notice if they had the new 24 inch iMacs, because I didn’t know one had been released until after I got back to my hotel room. Oh well! I didn’t spend a lot

Day 3 of my NYC vacation saw the end to the perfect weather. Oh well ;o) It really didn’t start getting too drippy until after noon. This morning we managed to make it to the top (86th floor) of the Empire State Building. I posted a couple of pix to my Flikr gallery. We also

Another perfect Blue sky day in New York City. Also another crazy crowd day. Ugh. I’m getting tired of people ;o) Some of the things we did today include visiting China Town, Little Italy (I had the best Tortelini soup for lunch…), Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island. Tomorrow I hope to FINALLY get to

The weather in NYC was prefect today. A drastic change from yesterday. Spent the entire day either walking or riding a tour bus around the city. Didn’t do any tech type activities, although I did get a glimpse of the Apple store on 5th Avenue and the Sony building with the free museum. Will be

We made it to NYC in one peice! Had a little turbulance due to the crummy weather, but nothing too bad. The weather is rainy and windy, so after grabbing some food, we’re back in the room to watch DVDs on the 30 inch plasma screen. NICE! I’m a bit disappointed though. My Treo 650

Happy Friday and Happy 3 Day Weekend to our US Readers! In a few short hours, I’ll be heading off for a week’s vacation in New York City :o) I’m really looking forward to the trip, and just hope that Ernesto doesn’t cause too much rain to fall while I’m there. I’m going light on

Remember when I said that I wasn’t very excited about the DualCor cPC? Well, I changed my mind this past weekend when I was trying to decide what gear to take with me on my vacation to NYC next week. I knew I didn’t want to drag along my Powerbook, because I’m testing out the
