Gear Diary

Fall has arrived! The temps here in Southern Indiana are dipping below freezing at night. Brrrr. It’s time to switch out all your short sleeve shirts for ones with long sleeves. If you’re looking for some new ones to buy, you might want to take a 2nd look at the SeV Performance T-Shirt from SCOTTeVEST. […]

I came home last night to find a replacement 24″ iMac on my front porch… To catch everyone up, I had ordered one at the end of September before attending Mobius. The first one had a really annoying defect where turning the brightness level down from maximum would cause a humming noise. Upon calling Apple

For those of you that may have missed it, I posted my first ever Gadgeteer Podcast Monday. I have received several nice emails and would like some more feedback. So let me know what you think good or bad. I may even read your email in the next episode! This first episode is only 11

My current favorite Bluetooth headset is the Cardo Systems scala-500 that I reviewed earlier this summer. This headset comes with a clip that allows you to hook it on your eye / sunglasses. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work too well if you have thin framed glasses. Evan Koblentz just emailed me with a hack that will

Gadgeteer Garage Sale! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve cleared out the gear cabinets here at Gadgeteer HQ. So, it’s time for a purging! I figure this time I’ll kick it old school and just post everything here on the site instead of going through eBay. If you see something you definitely want, email

No doubt some of you eagle eye users will have noticed that Judie’s gear diary is missing. No, she didn’t fall off the side of the earth or anything like that… She is moving on to other opportunities. One such opportunity is a new site that she is just now starting up, called GearDiary (great

I’m back from Mobius Boston. Yeah, I know I said I’d write about the event while I was there, but I lied. I’ll have report early next week though! And that aint no lie. ;o) I arrived home to find a BIG box in my living room. The 24″ iMac arrived. Yay! So I stayed

Saturday, after another fabulous breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, we settled in for what would prove to be an exciting day of brainstorming.

In a few hours I’ll be flying to Boston to attend the 2nd Mobius event. I’m looking forward to catching up with some friends and meeting new ones. :o) I’ll be reporting here as I learn things, so keep checking back. Have a great week everyone!

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far. The weather here has been pretty icky, so it’s been a nice day to just stay inside surfing on the net and watching TV. I went crazy on Friday and ordered a 24″ iMac with all the trimmings (except 3gb of RAM, I settled for

This morning at 5:30, I was awakened by a call from Steve telling me that Sarah had shaved several seconds off her events at her just completed varsity swimming time trials! I hate that I missed them, but talking to Steve and then Sarah made it almost as good as being there. Yay Sarah, I

Well, I arrived in Phuket Thursday morning without any trouble; other than the handful of soldiers which I saw at the airport exit, there was no indication that anything out of the ordinary was happening in Thailand. After an hour’s ride from the airport in a chauffeured Toyota Highlander, I arrived at the Mövenpick Resort

Today I’m going to tell you about 3 Huntlight LED flashlights from J.S. Burly’s that showed up in my mailbox.

Unlike yesterday’s aborted journey, today my trip to Phuket started without a hitch. I flew to Dallas, and as I ate lunch in an airport restaurant, I caught up on the email and text messages I’d missed during the previous hour’s flight. As I read, a message from Julie caught my eye, “Hey I just
