Altec Lansing inMotion MAX Portable iPod/iPhone Speaker System Review

By / / Uncategorized / , , , / 1 Comment

This was a first for me….Altec Lansing‘s Docking Audio project manager, Steve Schlangen asked if we could discuss the inMotion MAX (iMT702) prior to my review. I enjoyed our discussion a great deal; we talked about the iMT702’s capabilities, industrial and functional design plus a few words hinting at the future. It was a nice experience talking with a person involved in the creation of a great new tech product. Steve’s pride and excitement about the MAX came through load and clear.

WD TV HD Media Player Review

By / / Uncategorized / , , , , , / 670 Comments

Over the years, I’ve tried quite a few devices that allow you to watch and listen to your digital media through your television set. Some of these devices have included WiFi, some included hard drives, some required that you stream the content from a computer to the player and some required that you convert the content to a format that the player could handle. For one reason or another, I stopped using all of those devices except for the AppleTV. I really like the AppleTV’s user interface, but have never really liked the fact that I have to convert the files and then ‘send’ them from my desktop computer to the AppleTV in the living room. I’m all about simplicity, and while the AppleTV comes close, it doesn’t quite get there. I think I’ve found a device that does get there tho. It’s the WD TV HD Media Player from Western Digital.

Teastick Gems Loose Tea Infuser Review

By / / Uncategorized / / 16 Comments

I’ve been a tea drinker my whole life. No stinky coffee for me thank you very much! ;o) I was raised on cheap Lipton bagged tea. But as an adult, I discovered loose tea and am always trying new varieties of green, black and white teas. To fix a cup of loose tea, you need some type of infuser that will hold the leaves as they brew. Gamila Company’s Teastick Gem is just such an infuser. Let’s give it a try…
