Name: Alan Ng Location: Singapore Hi! I’m Alan from Singapore. I’m 21 years old now. First, I have to say that I’m a gadget freak. My primal obsession with gadgets has made me spend lots of money on them. (Sometimes my mom nags me for that.) Currently on my inventory list, I have gadgets from […]

Name: Ruth Bygrave Location: Ipswich, UK My Gadgetary Life… …is a bizarre combination of thrift and extravagance. On the one hand, I’ve only just gone this year from a succession of nameless mongrel PC clones to a pedigree box (Dell); on the other hand, I’m the only person I know with 32mb of memory in

Name: Shayne Waters Location: Syracuse, NY My birthday was in September, and every year I have this little routine I go through with my mother as far as what I want as a gift. It usually goes something like: “What do you want for your birthday this year?” … And then me responding with a

Name: Mitchell Oke Location: Australia First of all, I would like to congratulate Julie and Judie for their fantastic site. My interest in gizmos and gadgets has kept me coming to your site daily (or every two days) for the last 3 years. I love new toys. Being 16, the toys I like aren’t the

Name: Michael M. Location: New York, New York I think I’ve got a problem. I’m waiting for the day that my loved ones invite me to a sparsely decorated hotel conference room to confront me about that problem.

Name: Terry Pan Location: Hong Kong I am a copywriter in a full-service ad agency. My gadget story is a bit unlike the past gadgeteers. It’s about a process to find out the BEST gadget that fits my need. Once I find a gadget good enough (at least for a certain period), I will stop

Name: Mike Oetting Location: Kansas City I suppose it all started nearly 10 years ago in 1996 with the launch of the Palm 1000. I remember reading the press leading up to the launch of this product, and I was hooked. I thought it was the first PDA which seemed to have a fair amount

Name: Terence Wong Location: Sydney, Australia This picture is of me and a Sentinel from The Matrix exhibit at Warner Bros Movie World in Queensland, Australia.

Name: Druce Macfarlane Location: San Mateo, California Hi, my name is Druce, and I am a Gadgetoholic. It all started shortly after High School, when I had some extra spending money, and decided to spend it on computers. All kinds of computers.

Name: Dave Hawkins Location: Reading, UK I’ve always been interested in gadgets of all types and have worked my way through a wide range of personal organizers, PCs and communications devices in the past.
