the back of the packaging that mainly describes the individuality
of the Kimono in the package along with some historical
information. This case can be used with the 30GB Video iPod (using
the included insert), or 60GB Video iPod.

Not long ago I bought a one-of-a-kind handbag made from a recycled Domino movie billboard. Yes, I am talking about the kitschy 2005 movie featuring Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke. My bag features the portion of the poster which shows a smirking Mickey and his gun, and it is such a bold bag that it

Name: Kerry Woo
Location: Nashville, TN
Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee where the weather is great and the people are friendly! I’m Kerry and yes, I am a gadgeteer. My friends think because of my Asian roots that it is my cultural duty to perpetuate the Asian stereotype with gadgets in hand, which I don’t deny… just visit Las Vegas during a Consumer Electronics Show. For me it is almost like having a Roots experience. I’ve graduated from anything with a power cord attached to wireless and battery powered gadgets.

When I was a kid, I remember my Dad having this large Yellow Celestron telescope. He was very proud of that telescope and had a special foot locker that he kept it in. The thing was that I think he only actually used the scope maybe once or twice. It was difficult to find a place where lights from houses and street lamps would not ruin his star gazing attempts. One of the times that he did go out, it was in the middle of Winter. So he came back home late at night about half frozen. Hmmmm… fun. NOT! That’s why I had to think of him, when Brando asked if I was interested in reviewing the Sega Toys HomeStar planetarium.

I’m getting ready to visit NYC for week of vacation (the week of Labor Day). I’ve not been there since Judie and I visited for TECHXNY 3 years ago. I’m really looking forward to seeing some of the sights that we didn’t manage to visit during that first trip. For you native New Yorker’s, are

The concept of Yin and Yang has been around for centuries. A simple
definition would be that “Yin and Yang” is a term used to describe
interdependent opposites, such as male and female, light and dark,
or hot and cold. The Tom Bihn Imago marks the first time I have
seen this principle of complimentary opposites used to describe a
messenger bag…well, one that didn’t have the well known black and
white symbol plastered to its front, anyway. And yet, there is a
very good reason for the company to have chosen Yin and Yang to
describe their new bags.

August in Southern Indiana can be both hot and humid. Temperatures around 100 degrees are not unusual for us. As a result,
it’s normal to see people watering their outdoor plants in the evenings, to keep them from frying to a crisp. I’ve been
known to shirk my watering duties due to the fact that I hate wrestling with the garden hose. Unwinding it usually isn’t
a big deal, but winding back onto the reel can sometimes be an exercise in frustration. Since I’m all for trying a product
that has been designed to ease my frustration level, I was happy to review the ReelSmart Automatic Hose Reel from Hydro-Industries.

I recently bought a Nordic Track treadmill, which I absolutely
love; not only does it have all of the expected features, it can
also accept iFit workout cards. These SD shaped cards offer
different workout programs with progressive levels of difficulty
along with the positive feedback of a trainer verbally telling me
what’s coming up, as the console displays what I have done. Largely
because of this type instant feedback, I have always preferred
walking on a treadmill to walking outdoors. But today I am going to
introduce a product that provides verbal feedback for many outdoor
activities, eliminating one of my main excuses for preferring to
exercise indoors.

When Darcy, the VP of Marketing at Tom Bihn, wrote asking if I
would like to take a look at their new Aeronaut Maximum Carry On
Bag, her offer couldn’t have come at a better time. My family was
in the process of getting ready for our California vacation, and I
was in the midst of a bag quandary. I was planning on bringing the
usual heavy load of travel electronics, along with a Fuji laptop
and my new (and as yet mostly unconfigured) DualCor cPC. As I
started gathering all of my gear together, it was quickly becoming
obvious that my regular bag was not going to comfortably handle the
oversized load.

My daily gear bag for the past 9 months has been a Timbuk2 messenger bag that I designed using their Bag in a Box kit. This is the bag that actually turned me on to messenger style bags in the first place. Even though I’ve been happy with the Timbuk2 for quite a while now, I still find that I’m always on the lookout for one that has more pockets, better features, materials etc. Guess what? The Timbuk2 is going bye-bye because I recently discovered Bagaboo Bags.
