Sweltering Sunday in Southern Indiana It was 99 degrees here before noon. Can you say Global Warming? ;o) On a day like this you need a good fan. So I broke out one that Brando had sent me to try. The Fantastic USB LED Fan. For $10 you get a little desk fan, powered by […]

Hi all! We just returned from a week in chilly San Francisco, Carmel and Monterey! We left the 100º weather in Texas and nearly froze in the California…it just didn’t seem natural for it to be so chilly in what are typically the dog days of summer! When we stepped off the plane tonight to

My dad is getting married in a few months, and the ceremony is
to be held outside far from a power outlet. He wanted to play some
music at the ceremony, but there was no way to run any kind of
power lead to a set of speakers. This is where my hunt began for
the perfect set of portable speakers.

Ok, I don’t quite get the name, but this watch uses refractive mirrors and a convex camera style lens to create the illusion of LED’s reaching off into the distance.

Ok boys and girls, gather round because it’s time for another gear bag review! I am a total gear bag freak, so I never tire of trying new ones. The latest one to grace my shoulder is the Ducti High Voltage Messenger Bag. If you’ve not heard of Ducti, they are the same company that brought you the now famous duct tape wallets. The High Voltage Messenger Bag isn’t made of duct tape though, it’s a multi-pocketed canvas bag with an urban style.

The first time I saw pictures of the Nokia N80 back when it was
announced, I was thrilled. As soon as I saw the laundry list of
features, I knew I had to have it! I already had a Treo 650 with
Sprint, but the software was sometimes buggy and Sprint worked
poorly at my house. In the middle of July, I got a chance to leave
my Sprint contract without the termination fee, so I immediately
opened an account with T-Mobile and ordered a new N80 from
eBay.

I received an email from one of Sony’s PR people concerning their forthcoming Portable Reader System (PRS-500) eBook Reader device, which was first announced this past January at CES. According to this person, there has been quite a bit of confusion and misinformation floating around about this product. They would like to help dispel some

Gadgets… look in the dictionary and my picture is next to the
definition. I sometimes say that as long as I keep my hat on, the
propeller from the top of my head won’t show too much. 😉

My search for a comfortable, easy to use, good sounding
Bluetooth headset to pair with my Treo 650, may have come to a
quick end. At least until something else comes along… After
reviewing 4 headsets in the last few months, I recently learned
about the Cardo Systems
scala-500 from one of my gadget buddies at my day job (Hello
Taire!). He highly recommended it, so I decided to test one out for
myself.

Try as I might, I have never been able to fall in love with the
little joystick that sits surrounded by the “G”, “H” and “B” keys
on my Fujitsu laptop. That’s why I have been interested in finding
a small mouse which I could pack and bring along when traveling.
Oh, I’ve dallied with a few over the years, but the first one to
really catch my eye was announced at this year’s CES – the Newton
Peripherals MoGo Mouse.
