Remember when I said that I wasn’t very excited about the DualCor cPC? Well, I changed my mind this past weekend when I was trying to decide what gear to take with me on my vacation to NYC next week. I knew I didn’t want to drag along my Powerbook, because I’m testing out the […]

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

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.

Well, it looks like David Ciccone has broken the news on two USB based GSM wireless cards…now I wish I hadn’t been so hasty about buying a CF version! I am especially interested in the plug & play FALCOM SAMBA 75. His review states, “For the past few months I have had the pleasure to

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.
