Photographers like their gadgets just as much as the rest of us. Here’s a clever little tool from Brando that would be a welcome addition to your favorite shutterbug’s gear bag.

Well, I pulled the trigger and posted my HP hx4700 iPAQ on eBay. Since I have only turned it on a few times since I received the Treo 650, I figured it was time to try to recoup some of the money I paid for it. Not to worry, I haven’t totally abandoned the Pocket

In the past year, I’ve reviewed two hard drive based audio players from Digital Mind Corporation: The DMC-500 and DMC-800. Known for plug and play ease of use, their players continue to be a favorite of mine. Like iPods, having gigs of hard drive space is great for hauling around your entire MP3 collection.

Here’s a confession… My favorite part of the day is coming home, getting the mail out of my mailbox and seeing if there has been any packages left on my front porch. I’ve been a mail junkie since I was a kid. I remember sending away for free stuff like stamp and coin collections, just
