It’s Friday! Not just any old Friday either. It’s the Friday before I’m off for a week’s vacation! Yay! No big trips planned this time around, just a nice relaxing week at home to de-stress from the last 2 months that have really sucked (don’t ask). I do have two activities planned for my time […]

When I was a kid, I was given an elephant hair bracelet. I was told that the bracelet was supposed to protect against harm, sickness and bad luck. Who knows if it was true or not, but I have always felt that I was pretty lucky – so maybe there was something to it. The

I have become rather spoiled by the number of wireless headphone
reviews I’ve been doing lately, as not having a cable connecting my
headset to my iPod is definitely a convenience I have learned to
enjoy. Just like every other new convenience there are good and bad
points to explore however, and whether or not this type solution
will appeal to everyone remains to be seen…

I’m a TV junkie. Even worse is the fact that I’m addicted to reality TV shows.
I don’t like to miss any episodes of such cerebral classics as Survivor, Amazing Race,
American Next Top Model, The Apprentice and way too many others… When I happen to miss
an episode due to a Tivo glitch, power outage or whatever, I have to resort to finding
the missing episode on the net. Once I locate and download the episode, I have to figure out
a way to get it to my 65″ RPTV in the living room.

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
Pimp Star Performer Watch, the timepiece from the company with the NSFW*
name. The Star Performer was notable for its flashy LED display extravaganza;
but true LED aficionados probably felt that having numbers and symbols on the
watch’s face was sacrilegious.

I recently received some rather interesting accessories from GreenBulb. The first item is the itty bitty SS Mirror that can be placed on a digital camera, PDA, cell phone, really anywhere that the user wants a discreet looking-glass for checking her makeup or smile. My PPC-6700 came with one of these built in. I think

Are you one of those types of people that obsesses about your weight? Are you always counting calories and reading the nutritional content on the foods you eat, before you take a bite? I’ll admit that I share some of those traits. I don’t obsess about my weight, but I religiously check labels before buying food. I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic over a year ago. As a result, I’m very conscience about the carb / sugar content in my food.
