A person very close to me had to have a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan yesterday. I’d never heard of this type of diagnostic x-ray and suggested that she ask the technician if she could get a copy of the image emailed to her or something. I thought it might be interesting to look at… […]

How many of you 30, 40, 50 somethings out there had a yo-yo when you were a kid? I was a Duncan yo-yo girl myself and I had several of them. I even had a secret desire to become a yo-yo master (mistress?). Unfortunately, that dream was never realized as I was never very good.

My 3rd 24″ iMac arrived last night. I set it up this morning and YES, it too has the dreaded display hum. It isn’t quite as loud as #1 and #2, so I’m just going to learn to live with it. 3rd time was almost the charm… SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin It
Earlier this year, I reviewed Marware’s iPod Dock with Remote. I found it an easy way to watch the videos and slideshows stored on my iPod through my television. This product did have a few quirks though, so I was interested in how it might compare to Kensington’s Entertainment Dock 500. Lucky for me, they asked me to review it.

I really like the Calendar on my Palm. I used to use Agendus but my life is just not complicated enough to bother with all of its features for $30. Still, there are a few features Calendar lacks- like a good detailed weekly view.

Three years ago I had the opportunity to review the SLIMP3 Network MP3 Player from Slim Devices. Back then, the SLIMP3 was one of the first devices on the market that allowed you to stream audio files from your computer, to another part of the house. Let’s see how their original product has evolved in the past few years into a smaller, more robust device that is called the Squeezebox.

Updated with information about new software release.
One of the more annoying things about PC gaming is that it is
hard to keep up with e-mail, instant messaging, and other
background applications while a game is using the entire display.
The Pertelian X2040 is an answer to that
problem, in the form of an external LCD
display that lets you see important information and interact with
background applications like your instant messenger and Teamspeak
while a full-screen game is running.
