Gear Diary

Help Wanted Hey all! I’ve got a geek gadget harness for someone to review. This is a Civilian Labs Business Class LT Harness System Bag from Semson’s and Company, in Green and Black. First person that emails me volunteering to write up a review with some pix (you have to model it too!), gets it. […]

To make a long story short… Shawn, one of our readers, received two of the same bag when he placed a Maxpedition order several months ago. According to Shawn, “I did the honorable thing and called and told them and there response was they were going to send a label for me to return it

Happy Birthday Palm! 10 years ago today the 128K Pilot 1000 was introduced to the world. How many of you remember the 1000? How many of you bought one right away? And, how many of you still have one in a drawer someplace? Could there be some people out there that are even still using

I wanted to update everyone on how life has been so far with my iMac. For those of you following along at home, I purchased a 20″ G5 iMac at the beginning of July last year. It was my third attempt (and I hoped my last…) at switching away from Windows XP. I’m happy to

I am back from Kansas City with a new respect for mothers of toddlers and a new loathing for air travel. The nieces and nephew were awesome – but I had forgotten how tiring it could be to keep up, entertain and referee youngsters. Of course, I have never had to deal with three at

I’ve been trying out two different PalmOS software titles from a company called ShSh Software. The first one is 2day. This application is an excellent do everything “today” style application. In addition to displaying your upcoming appointments and tasks, this app can also be used as launcher and will display the status of your Emails,

And now for another episode of “It’s A Small World”. About 2 years ago Taire Avbovbo wrote a couple iPod mini case reviews for the site. Two weeks ago I received an email from him saying that he had been to the Cummins Tech Center (where I happen to work) and was working in the

Today we are boarding a plane and heading to Kansas City to spend time with Steve’s sister, her husband, our nieces and new nephew. I hope all of you that have Spring Break this week enjoy a safe and wonderful time off with your kids. I’ll be back Saturday. :0)

Now why are you wasting time looking at my diary entry? If you haven’t checked out Julie’s incredible video of the Brando Stretching Hula Hoop, then you are missing out on one of the most entertaining entries ever! Check it out!

Brando sent me a product that doesn’t quite fit into what we typically review here on The Gadgeteer. But, being the good sport that I am, I thought I’d give it a try anyway. The Stretching Hula Hoop is sort of a cross between a Slinky and an old school hula hoop from the late

Weekend Grab Bag (Updated as the weekend progresses…) Justin Blanton has created a page that expains how to use your Windows Mobile Smartphone as a Bluetooth modem under Mac OS X. This is something I’ve not yet tried to do with my Treo 650. Anyone out there with a Treo and a Powerbook tried something

Is it just me, or does there seem to be some excitement in the air these days? Maybe it’s just that my Winter blahs are fading as Spring time approaches. Or maybe it’s all these gadget teasers that seem to be popping up and taunting me with their promises of something cool and drool worthy.

I received the new PDair aluminum case for the PPC-6700 yesterday. I’ll have a full review ready in the next couple of weeks, but I just wanted to post a couple of pictures for people who have been wondering whether they might like it or not. When the case is closed, there is no access

For the past couple of months, I’ve been using a combination of a mobile phone and a PDA instead of just my Treo 650 smartphone. First I used the Sony w600i, then the Motorola Pebl, then back to the Sony and now I’m back to the Treo. I love a lot of things about the

It was worth a shot – but it didn’t pan out… I asked for a review sample of the Proporta Aluminum-Lined Leather Case for the HTC Wizard hoping that it would fit the HTC Apache / PPC-6700. Unfortunately it is a no-go, and I now have a case that needs to be reviewed, but no
