Tonight I had a strange experience with Linked In, the web-based networking tool. But before I tell my story, let me give you some background first… Back in 2004, I was sent an invitation to join a contact’s network. I joined “just to be nice” more than anything, and for the longest time my inviter […]

It’s such a cliché, but lately it does seem like time is just flying by. 2006
is already half gone, so it has been almost two years since I reviewed the

After learning last week that the DualCor would not have Wifi or Bluetooth radios built into their forth coming cPC device, both Judie and I pretty much marked them off our list of must review gadgets. I mean, who the heck is going to pay $2000 for a device with that handicap? Not I… Now

I have always loved pockets. At six, I swore off jeans as their pockets couldn’t hold the quantity of stuff that I wanted. Although I have since taken jeans back up, albeit after a decade long protest, I continue to be fascinated with ever better means of storage. Not long ago I stumbled upon the

As is the way with most electronic items, flash memory cards are getting more and more miniscule. Although the smallest ones usually come with an SD adapter, keeping one handy is not always convenient. Two of the tiniest formats available, MMC Micro and T-flash, are the special targets of the new USB Geek Q-Reader that
