Judie and I just got emails that our Zodiac unit orders are being processed by Tapwave. We both opted for FedEx next day shipping, so if they ship them out tomorrow (Friday), we will receive them Monday! I can’t wait to see if they are ‘all that’ or just ho-hum :o) I also received my […]

Product Requirements: Device: HP iPAQ 2200 I think it’s a known fact that Vaja I-Volution PDA cases are just plain sexy. In the everyday ho-hum of the typical black leather case, the I-Volution raises the bar of style and substance. Available in 32 (yes, I really said 32!) color combinations, the I-Volution Aptus for the

Do you guys ever get Plaxo emails from your friends asking you to update your contact info? I’ve gotten them off and on in the past and really never checked into the actual Plaxo service. Tonight, both Judie and I received emails from the same person asking us to update our info. She then mentioned

Product Requirements: A laptop computer It’s no secret that laptops can crank out some heat. This fact is never so obvious as when you are either working with a laptop while it sits directly on your lap, or when a laptop is your main computer and it sits on a desk running most of the

Product Requirements: Device: Apple 3G 15gb iPod I used one of the original iSkin cases with my second generation iPod. It was protective but added a little bulk to the iPod. The new iSkin eXo for the third generation iPod has become sleeker and more refined as did the iPod itself. To say the case

Product Requirements: Device: Original and newer iPod models After Judie and I attended TECHXNY, we were able to count the interesting booths and products that we saw on just one hand. The Case Closed Bags booth happened to be included in that count. This company, which is female owned and operated, doesn’t sell products that

I’m back home again in Indiana! Before I left for vacation, I had cancelled my order for the Canon SD10 digital camera that I had made through Amazon when I realized that it wouldn’t arrive in time for my trip. So, one of the first things I did when I came back home was to

Hi all! In case any of you have wondered about my lack of posts this week, I’ve been on vacation at Treasure Island in Florida. Until today (my last day here), I’ve been without internet access. ACK! Yeah, I know I’m on vacation, but just the thoughts of email upon email piling up, has made

I have Google’d it to death, but I can’t find any more information about the Nokia 7200 GSM/GPRS mobile phone pictured at this (French) site. Supposedly it will be available October 28. Even though the phone has plenty of cool features, I am most intrigued with the color coordinated “style packs” and “textile covers”. Hmmmm…if

As you can imagine, Julie and I see all sorts of laptop and gear bags in all sorts of styles and flavors. Obviously, some of them are better than others. Some of them have redeeming features but they aren’t quite ready for prime-time, and some…well some are so bad that we send e-mails back and

One of my biggest peeves when hauling gear is the cheesy strap that so many manufacturers will include with an otherwise well made electronic product or bag. It is almost as if the shoulder- strap is an afterthought. Of course, if you are only carrying a single bag for a short distance, then you might

How many of you are aware that after Nov. 24, a new federal regulation will allow us, for the first time, to keep our cellphone numbers when we change mobile services? This will affect all mobile phone companies and will in effect give us as consumers a much more powerful position when we are considering

Maybe you are the type of person that is not satisfied with a watch that can just tell time; you want one that can perform other functions and replace other gadgets. Maybe you are watching your weight and want a tool that can help you monitor your intake and exercise. Maybe you don’t want to

It’s almost 11:30pm, and I really should be in bed, but I just had to install the new iTunes for Windows. I’ve been waiting for this for a long while, and now that it’s here, I think I’m in love! I only had a Powerbook for a few months, but in that time I really
