Like most people in the 21st century, I own a few types of mp3 players including a few from the iPod line, the iPad, a few from Sony, and the many other electronics that have the mp3 function built-in like cell phones. I was looking for a cheap basic mp3 player. The Green House Kana

I decided I need to get in shape. What does a Gadgeteer do when he wants to get into shape? He (or at least me) looks for a technological solution. Since I already own a 3rd generation Nano, I decided to give the Nike + iPod kit a spin. This left me with four needs.

Laptops sitting on the table aren’t really ergonomic since most of the time we have to hunch over them to view the screen which is lower than our eyesight.

I suppose for many of us who write for or read this fine blog our fascination with ‘gadgets’ probably started with our first “Swiss Army Knife”. My ‘junk box’ still has most of the ones I’ve owned over the years, but my answer to the question “How many gadgets is enough” will always be the

I’ve been using the Apple iPhone 4 since the day it was released. I ended up buying one without a contract since mine isn’t up for renewal till March of 2011. It was a pricey gadget purchase at over $500. Of course that never stopped me before 😉 But let’s see if I’m still happy

There was a lot of talk about this unit from Pandigital (maker of Digital Photo Frames and film scanners) around June when they were removed off the shelves of Kohl’s for poor/slow performance.

Even though I probably take over a 1000 pictures a month with my digital camera, I don’t consider myself a photographer. I don’t really know the ins and outs of F-stops, aperture, ISO or any of that other photography jargon that the pros know. All I know is that I like snapping pictures, either macro
