Well, it appears that my Zune has a defect. I set it up this morning and copied over about 20-30 folders full of .MP3 files. Syncing appeared to work as expected (although a bit slow), but when I went to listen to the music in my car at lunch, all the songs skipped like they […]

I went ahead and picked up a Zune last night along with a cheapo Everex laptop at my good old Super Walmart store. I opted for the White version because to me the Black one is boring and the Brown one looks… well… I’m not going to say it… ;o) So far I’ve only managed
I’ve recently had to give several presentations using MS PowerPoint and Keynote. Although nothing replaces preparation and knowledge in a successful presentation, a good gadget can go a long way to give your lecture professional polish.

Today is Zune day and I’ve yet to make up my mind about purchasing one. First of all, to even review it, I’d need a Windows computer (which I don’t have at the moment… no, I’m not soiling my 24″ iMac, so don’t even think about it ;o) ). Then there’s the horror stories that

She beat me to Venice, arriving on a special boat that I later saw docked on the Grand Canal. We had both been in transit for days, and I was excited for us to finally be in the same place at the same time. I thought I would be the first one to arrive when I boarded the westbound train earlier that day, but she was waiting for me in the hotel lobby. She was beautiful.

Trying to find my perfect smartphone has been causing me the same frustration as trying to find my perfect gear bag. The quest just never ends because I’ve come to realize that there isn’t any one perfect phone (or gear bag) out there for me. The whole trick is to find one that comes as close as possible. This review is for the Hewlett Packard iPAQ hw6945 Mobile Messenger; a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC phone. The question is, will it become my new “perfect” smartphone?

I used to play the original Bejeweled until I wore through my screen protectors! It was a great game that kept my interest for several months. Astraware has now released ‘Bejeweled2’, and I had to see if it would be a new favorite.

A person very close to me had to have a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan yesterday. I’d never heard of this type of diagnostic x-ray and suggested that she ask the technician if she could get a copy of the image emailed to her or something. I thought it might be interesting to look at…

As The Gadgeteer, I feel like I am not doing my job if I don’t have the latest and greatest mobile phones in my pocket, but when it comes to my landline phone, it is a 2yr old 2.4GHz boring Panasonic answering machine / handset. Whee… You know me though, I’m always up for trying something new, so when the folks representing Vtech asked if I would like to test some of their phones, I said sure!

How many of you 30, 40, 50 somethings out there had a yo-yo when you were a kid? I was a Duncan yo-yo girl myself and I had several of them. I even had a secret desire to become a yo-yo master (mistress?). Unfortunately, that dream was never realized as I was never very good.

When I recently replaced my Powerbook for a Macbook Pro, I realized that the laptop compartment of several of my gearbags was too short in length to accommodate my new machine. I’ve been looking at Knomo’s line of bags for several months and my new upgrade was to perfect excuse to give the Cholet a try.

My 3rd 24″ iMac arrived last night. I set it up this morning and YES, it too has the dreaded display hum. It isn’t quite as loud as #1 and #2, so I’m just going to learn to live with it. 3rd time was almost the charm… SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin It
Earlier this year, I reviewed Marware’s iPod Dock with Remote. I found it an easy way to watch the videos and slideshows stored on my iPod through my television. This product did have a few quirks though, so I was interested in how it might compare to Kensington’s Entertainment Dock 500. Lucky for me, they asked me to review it.

I work in a special library for K-12 educators and we do not, currently, have any audio books in circulation. I have been very curious about the Playaway audio books since I first read about them several months ago.
