This is a new WiFi robot kit from the makers of Erector sets. This construction toy sure has come a long way since the set of my Dad’s that I played with as a kid! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a product page for this new model. If anyone finds one, let me know.

When I returned home from CES, I found quite a few packages waiting for me. One of them was a White 13″ Macbook Hardcase from Rhinoskin. Since I don’t own the 13″ Macbook, I’m offering to send this $60 case to one of you! All you need to do is to agree to write a
Let’s start with a quick quiz:
1. Do you use the Internet Movie Database site a lot?
2. Are you often involved in conversations that include questions like “What was the name of that movie? You know, the one with Norm Macdonald in it?”
3. Do you often wonder what critics thought of some obscure movie you found at the rental place because all the good movies are gone?
4. Do you wish you had a convenient way to track movies you want to buy or rent, or that you already have?
5. Do you wish you knew what the top 50 comedies of all time are (perhaps while stalking the rental place aisles)?

My 750v is really getting on my nerves. If you remember (and read yesterday’s report…), I’ve been having a few issues with it this trip. Well this morning the alarm I had set to wake me at 7am didn’t go off. :o[ I thought Microsoft fixed the problem with alarms not firing. If I can’t count on a smartphone to help me keep the appointments that I set, then I really don’t want to be using that particular smartphone. So, I think I’ll be looking elsewhere soon. iPhone maybe? ;o) I need something sooner than 6 months out though.

I came back to my hotel room a bit early so that I could learn about all the goodies that were announced at MacWorld. Seems there were really only two… The Apple TV (sorry, I can’t make a little apple symbol) and then the one everyone is talking about: The iPhone. I have to admit

Before we get into the report for the day, I wanted to answer a question about the gear I brought with me on the trip. I am a light packer. Probably too light. I almost always find myself wishing I had remembered to bring along X or Y.

No sooner has the wrapping paper from Santa’s presents to all good little gadgeteer boys and girls been shredded, that a new slew of goodies is unveiled for them to drool over. That’s right, it’s time for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. I made the trip out to the mecca of all things gadgety and will be bringing you all the yummy details as the show unfolds.

I am now in Las Vegas! The flight out here wasn’t too bad except that I was in the very last row of the plane and was stuck between two very large guys. I felt like a Julie sandwich. If that wasn’t bad enough, one of the guys was a sneezer and one was a

I’m getting all my stuff together to head out to Las Vegas for CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I leave early tomorrow morning and will be there through Tuesday. I’m looking forward to discovering nifty gadgets that I may not have seen before, meeting up with friends, getting swag (you can never have too many ink

Recently my wife had to make the desktop to laptop transition for work. She received a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with a bulky Dell backpack that she lugs home each night. The backpack works fine but it seems a bit too much for her, so when Julie gave me the opportunity to review the Samsonite Pro-DLX women’s three-compartment briefcase from Luggagepoint.com, I jumped at the opportunity.

Hi gadgeteers! I’m still digging out from under a pile of work (day job) as a result from being off last week for the holidays. Whew! I know it’s a little too late for holiday gift ideas, but I want to tell you all about a set of goodies that I received from Quirkle.com the
I am simply amazed at how cell phones have evolved from the “portable” bag phone to today’s vast selection of featured laden mobile phones. Built in cameras, music players, text messaging and voice dialing are just some of the options available in mix and match feature laden phones. Add to the mix WiFi and Bluetooth, push email, robust calendar and contact management with Internet access plus a large catalog of third party software makes today’s smartphone a compelling reason to leave the laptop at home.

Happy New Year! I don’t know about all of you, but I’m so glad to see 2006 bite the dust. It was a mixed year for me. There were some very high points mixed with several extremely low points (one of which is still a mystery). Why is it that we tend to dwell on

This is the second Nano sports armband review I’ve done. The first review was on the Nike Sport Armband which has done an excellent job holding my Nano during my running. That being said, my initial impression of the Speck Active-Sport armband for the first generation Nano was that it was too big and bulky. But after using it several weeks it has grown on me enough to replace my Nike armband. An added bonus of the Speck armband is that it includes a sensor pouch to hold the Nike+ sensor.
