iRobot Roomba Scheduler
I had never used a robotic vacuum before, so I was really excited when Julie told me that she had a Roomba Scheduler that needed to be tested out and reviewed. I gladly volunteered.

Tom Bihn Empire Builder Bag
Back in 2002 I wrote my first ever gear review for The Gadgeteer. I reviewed the Tom Bihn Empire Builder after buying it as protection for my Titanium G4 Powerbook. I was really happy with the case, and still am.

Vaja i-volution Top Holster for the iPod Touch
Once again Vaja‘s
style and craftsmanship shines through with the i-volution
Top Holster for the iPod Touch. Vaja has the unique ability of creating
cases that not only protect our precious tech-toys but turn heads as well. Many
of Vaja cases are so nice (and sometimes extravagant), they themselves
should be protected from day-to-day use and hazards.

Why I don’t like the iPhone this week…
I decided to be a lemming and use the iPhone last week during my trip to San Francisco for Macworld. It worked fine last week in California, but now I’m back home and I’ve still been using it… but guess what? It doesn’t work so well when it’s 6 degrees in the morning and you

Macworld Expo 2008
Every year right after the holidays, it’s time for two trade shows that most gadgeteers look forward to either attending or reading about. These are The Consumer Electronics Show and Macworld. I’ve attended CES many times in the past, but this year I wanted to do something different… So, I decided to attend my very first Macworld in San Francisco, California. It’s about time, considering that I made the hop to OS X over two years ago.

Otterbox iPod Swim Kit
iPods are a great way to lessen the monotony of exercise. Their compact size makes them easy to carry with you nearly anywhere. However, electronics and water tend not go together which makes using an iPod while swimming problematic. After my recent arm surgeries I have have been swimming regularly as rehabilitation. It’s a good workout, but quite boring. Since one of my new year’s resolutions is not to electrocute myself, I was very interested in trying out the Otterbox iPod Swim Kit.

I survived my first Macworld Expo
I had planned to post a trip report article about Macworld Expo tonight, but the wifi in my hotel room is horrendous. As a result, there’s no way I’ll be able to upload pix. So a report will be posted after I get home Friday. This was my very first Macworld, so I can’t really

Simon Tatham Puzzles: Palm OS Game
I love Games Magazine, but generally not every game in the magazine. I feel about the same way about Simon Tatham’s Puzzles Pack. (Thanks to The Gadgeteer Forums poster Mark Reid for the heads-up on this one!) Some of the 27 games in this freeware collection are pretty cool (Black Box, Guess, Map, Same Game, Unequal and Tangle so far are favorites), several are variations on the theme, and a couple I still have not figured out.

eNote Clip On Digital Chromatic Tuner
Since I recently started playing a ukulele, I’ve been interested in various accessories that go along with playing a stringed instrument. Admittedly, there aren’t many. But the main accessory that I use every time I sit down to play (or try to play) a song, is a tuner. A month ago, I took a look a the Intelli IMT-500 tuner. I like it very much, but like any good gadgeteer, I’ll be happy to dump it for something better. Today I’m going to tell you about the eNote Clip On Digital Chromatic Tuner from ELECA. Read on to see if it beats the Intelli.
