I have been debating on buying a Macbook Air since they were announced. Fortunately I found a good deal on a barely used one that included the SuperDrive and two cases. One of these slipper cases was the Airmail by manilamac, which I was so impressed with I immediately gave it to my six year old. The other was the Neoprene Sleeve for the Macbook Air by Incase, which I was so taken aback by its simple perfection, in terms of form and function, I decided then and there I was going to do a review on it.

I have a confession to make… Even though I love my iPod classic, I really don’t listen to it as much in the car as I listen to… the radio. Yes, it’s true. I find myself listening to regular FM radio way more than my iPod. The radio is on when I drive into work in the morning and again in the afternoon on my way home. Why do I prefer listening to radio? One of the main reasons is that I never know what the next song will be and I like variety and finding new artists. Over the years I’ve tried XM and Sirius satellite radios and enjoyed them, but in the end, I got tired of the ads and mediocre audio quality. Now I think I have found the perfect radio gadget for me. It’s the Slacker Portable Radio.

We can all agree that gadgets can be fun and exciting, but it’s really great when a product can actually help someone work better while also being beneficial to your health. A couple months ago, a close family member was having severe neck and shoulder pain. Her one arm was even going numb. An MRI revealed that she had a ruptured disk in her neck. The solution was a surgical procedure to fuse the C5 and C6 vertebrae together with a titanium plate and several screws…

As I was a cruzin’ for new games, I found that eSoft Interactive, the home of one of my ‘All Time Favorite’ games, Traffic Jam, had several titles I had not seen before, including the previously reviewed Traffic Jam 2. I also asked for codes for a couple of other games that looked interesting- Earth Day, and Spot!, They were kind enough to provide codes for all of them.

I really don’t know if I will… Companies are already asking permission to send me accessories to review, so there is some pressure on that front. But the main thing is that I don’t live in an area with 3G coverage, so the upgrade really doesn’t seem all that appealing to me. Yeah, I will

I have been considering upgrading my backup external hard drive for quite some time now. The difficult decision was choosing between a larger (in both physical size and capacity) 3.5 inch drive and a smaller 2.5 inch drive (that would take up less space, not need a separate power cable, and is nearly silent). After a good amount of research and tech-soul-searching, I decided on the 320gb MiniStation TurboUSB Portable hard drive by Buffalo.

Landline phones seem to be slowly going the way of the dinosaur now that people are using their mobile phones and VOIP in their place. Companies that manufacture and sell analog phones are adding new features to make their products more enticing and to bridge the analog to digital gap. The ip8300 infoPhone from Vtech is just such a product. It’s an analog phone with a twist. It connects to your Yahoo! account for instant messaging and more…

The Sony Ericsson Z520a is a rather simple phone by today’s standards. It doesn’t have a media player, it doesn’t have a good camera, and it doesn’t even come with any games. What it does come with is a fairly easy to use interface, a nice compact size and good battery life. About the only frill you do get is Bluetooth, which is really standard equipment on all but the absolute cheapest phones nowadays. More about all this later.

I have thought of myself as a Palm Power User since the days of my old Handspring Visor Deluxe (Ice), back when cell phones were big bricks and Windows was an unstable annoying platform.
