Diabetes Log Software – Palm OS Utility

By Mark Adkins / June 7, 2007 / Uncategorized / Palm, Palm OS related, Software, Utility / 8 Comments

I’ve just been diagnosed with diabetes. I am a bit overwhelmed with the flood of information- both that I need to learn, and that I need to now learn to track. I have already learned a few things.

A. Diabetes is sometimes called the “data disease” because the more you understand it and track it, and know what it is doing, the better you can manage it.
B. It is really depressing to be a diabetic.
C. If ya gotta deal with the data involved, ya may as well make it work for you.

A person that I work with at my day job (Cummins Inc.) came up to me and asked me if I knew what ‘wiki’ was. I said sure, it’s an online encyclopedia. Then he said “Do you know you’re in it?” and I was like “No way…”. Come to find out, he was reading up

Maxpedition Operator Tactical Attache (#0605)

By Mark Rosengarten / June 5, 2007 / Uncategorized / Bags, Gear, Laptop bag, Shoulder bag / 7 Comments

I have been in the market for a new briefcase after my venerable piece of junk brief bit the dust a few months ago. Enter the Maxpedition Tactical Attache! It is designed to conceal a gun in a large pocket, but as I do not own a gun (outside a long unused Tippman paintball gun), I cannot comment on this feature.

Vaja Palm TX Flip Top Case (PA171)

By Don Damiani / June 1, 2007 / Uncategorized / Cases and Covers, Leather, Palm, Palm OS related / 1 Comment

I recently upgraded my PDA from a T2 to the Palm T|X. I was somewhat disappointed when I got the T|X to see that it only came with a flimsy flip cover. (Not much screen protection there.) Since I had a Vaja case for my T2, I wanted to check out the Vaja cases for the T|X.

Hivox SnoreStopper

By Kelly Hall / May 28, 2007 / Uncategorized / Home and Kitchen, Personal Care / 14 Comments

Looking for a solution to stop the rattle-your-windows-snorer sleeping next to you? Do you need a Father’s Day gift that also rewards your Mom? Then, you might want to take a look at Hivox’ SnoreStopper. This innovative device is worn like a watch. When you start to snore, it produces a 5-second electronic impulse on your wrist, resulting in the snorer to reposition and stop snoring. The distributor claims that within 3 weeks, the SnoreStopper naturally coaches your body to snore less. To test this claim, Hivox graciously sent me a sample to review.

I just (1 minute ago) received an email from Palm with a link to a software update for Treo 680 AT&T / Cingular customers. Although I am an AT&T customer, I’m not sure that this upgrade will work with my unbranded 680. If any of you install it, let us know how it works out.
