Julie’s Thoughts Judie’s Thoughts I’ve always associated Las Vegas with glamour, outrageous looking hotels, glitz, Wayne Newton, slot-machine chimes, and all-you-can-eat buffets! But now, I’ll forever think of the Consumer Electronics Show when someone mentions what has long been known as ‘Sin City’. Regarding the part about the all-you-can-eat-buffets, I made Julie promise we wouldn’t […]

After purchasing an iPAQ 12 months ago, my long daily commute with this Pocket PC and Avantgo left me with a feeling of wanting “something more.” Not wanting to spend a lot of additional money, I avoided the cost, bulk, and wait for wireless networking alternatives, such as the now defunct Ricochet. These solutions typically

As a full-time, freelance writer who shoots his own photos, I rarely go anywhere without a laptop computer and a camera. I’ve written articles on everything from outdoor lighting for Consumers Digest to buying a houseboat for boating magazines and always provide the publication with photos if required. I’m not a photo pro but I

I just got a new toy! A Canon PowerShot S110. It’s an itty bitty teeny weenie digital camera. I’d been wanting a really small cam that I could throw in my bag and take with me everywhere so I wouldn’t miss once in a lifetime shots. This baby is drop dead sexy with its metal

Well – once again I’ll give you little to no warning…but if you happen to be in Austin on Wednesday the 29th, stop by the Starbucks at William Cannon & South MoPac. Ellen Beeman and I decided to get together and have a little “coffee-tawk” about our PDA obsession; then we invited the rest of

Updated 06/04/01 – new remarks are in RED When was the first time that you heard that there were Microsoft FanFests happening in different areas across the country?

05/11/01 Well, Julie & I have both received our upgraded (64MB!!) iPAQs from Mack at times2tech. Unbelievable! We should have a review for this FAB service up later tonight. Knowing that it voids Compaq’s warranty, I was nervous about performing the new ROM upgrade…and sure enough, I had problems. I actually SAW the “Blue Screen

Julie’s Thoughts Judie’s Thoughts I skipped Spring COMDEX 2000 for various reasons, but decided to attend this year’s conference to see if any new gadgets or gizmos would be announced.

I am leaving today for a week in Hawaii! While gone, I will be testing out several new products for the Palm platform, as well as the Omnisky service in areas that actually have it – unlike my West Texas town! I will be taking shots of the Hawaiian scenery with a Kodak PalmPix camera

02/09/01 Waiting patiently for the return of my iPAQ – I sent it in to Compaq for digitizer and battery door problems, last week. They informed me today that they had to replace the motherboard (!) – but that I should have it by Tuesday next week, at the latest. I hope that’s true –

Hi Folks, I’m in a gadget rut… I need something exciting to perk my gizmo lust. Will the upcoming color Palm m505 do it? Maybe the Sony AIBO that we’re getting to review soon will do the trick (oops let that one slip didn’t I?). Or maybe I need to go look at some cool

Guess what folks? I’m back to using the iPAQ as my main PDA again. Yeah, you can just call me fickle girl. 🙂 The multimedia capabilities of the Pocket PC is a very strong draw for me and the Palm platform is slightly boring at this point. Here’s hoping 2001 will be different. Speaking of
