I’m a gadget show off! I get endless pleasure when my co-workers walk by my desk at work and ask “what’s that?”. This usually results in a short demo of whatever product I happen to be playing with (I mean reviewing) at the time. Usually this is an electronic gizmo, but sometimes it is just

My new computer is all put together now! It was more time consuming building this one due to the special heat sink for the video card that I had to put together. I opted for the Zalman heat pipe. So far, I’ve booted up once, just to see if everything appeared to be working correctly.

Today, the final piece to my new quiet computer puzzle arrived… the case. I ordered a very cool CaseArts Knotty Burl painted Cheiftec case from Directron.

Who would have guessed that last year’s Palm equivalent to the mini-van – the Zire, would morph into this year’s two door sport coupe? Everything pointed to the Zire remaining Palm’s bargain PDA. But wow, things sure have changed. Now, the Zire 71 (who comes up with these model numbers anyway?) is poised to become Palm’s multimedia

I went new TV shopping in Greenwood, IN today. Visited a Circuit City, HH Gregg, Best Buy and a Sears store. I had been all set to just purchase a 36″ flat screen TV, but from the moment that I saw the projection TVs, I was in love with their crisp, bright picture. WOW! My

Am I the only person that has waited till the last minute to get their taxes done? My appointment is tomorrow afternoon. Depending on the outcome, I may be shopping for a 36″ TV, or a new (quiet) PC. If I’m really lucky, both… Can you believe I’ve still not played around with the GamePark
