Gear Diary

Friday Fun! I’ve been surfing while I should be finishing the review I have to post tonight… Bad Julie. But in the process of my surfing, I happened upon this site which is a MUST see: http://www.ertdfgcvb.ch/p1/sky.html If you have a superman complex or want to get in touch with your inner eagle, check it […]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’ve got the turkey in the oven, the Hopping John on the stovetop, the stuffing and green bean casserole ready to heat up, and Sarah & I made the deserts yesterday! I can’t wait to enjoy it all as well as the leftovers in the coming days, since we made so much.

Are the US readers out there all ready for Thanksgiving and Black Friday? You couldn’t pay me to get out and shop the day after Thanksgiving! ;o) I might do some shopping online though ;o) What gadgets are people hoping that Santa will bring them this year? The Xbox 360? I think I beat Santa

I received my unbranded unlocked GSM Treo 650 today (thanks Mike!). Good news, it works perfectly! I even upgraded the firmware. Yay! I’m super happy at the moment. Even the signal strength here in the gadget cave is good! :o) Maybe the Treo gods don’t hate me after all. I am still waiting for the

I was doing a search on eBay recently, looking under “stingray” and hoping to see some interesting small clutches. I didn’t find a clutch that I would want to buy, but I did find an auction for the most amazing leather wallet and solid sterling silver chain. Although I wasn’t in the market for either,

Take a look at this crazy site. I get tired just watching it! ;0)

Wow, time got away from me and I didn’t realize how long it had been since I had updated my gear diary! 40 lashes, yah! Several weeks ago I got a K40 CALIBRE built-in radar & laser detection system installed in my truck, and I have since been putting it through its paces. But tomorrow

The Treo saga is never ending… I managed to sell it to someone who has a Verizon account, and is intelligent enough to realize it’s not a Sprint Treo. But guess what, Verizon won’t activate it. They say the ESN# can’t be found. The phone has a Verizon signal and you can hear Darth Vadar

I finally sold the hacked Treo 650! It is currently winging its way to NYC as I type this. I was actually sorry to box it up as I’ve been using it as just a PDA for the past couple of weeks. Now I’m back to using the Dell X50v Pocket PC again along with

Help, is there a shaman in the house?! I have somehow offended the powers of Palm and now I seem to have a Treo 650 curse on my head. You think I’m crazy? I think not! Just listen to my tale of woe and you’ll see what I mean. If anything, the pathos will definitely

While we were in the UK this summer, I became one of the last people on the face of the earth to discover Sudoku, the numeric crossword puzzle. We were riding a train when Sarah passed over the newspaper she had been writing on, and I thought she just wanted help finding a word. Instead,

Just found an interesting little doodad in my mailbox today. The Earbud Clip from PKOH NYC. Basically it is a Lexan polycarbonate clip that allows you to easily secure your earbud cord around your audio device. Comes in a set of 4 for $9.95. — I’m hoping my Cingular Treo 650 will be delivered today.

Shayne Waters has been chosen as the winner of the Green With Envy Contest. Since we just posted a new Featured Gadgeteer story last week, I’ll post the winner’s story for November. I think everyone will get a kick out of it, as it’s pretty funny :o) The other good stories will be posted in

Just received an email from Neuros. They are doing something pretty unusual. They are asking us average Joe and JoAnn’s for our opinions on the next feature set / specs of their next product… Neuros Releases Next Generation Media Player Specs for Comment For Immediate Release October 14, 2005 Chicago, IL, Building on its history

I’ve been using the PPC-6700 for a couple of days now, and I must say that so far it is a keeper! I have had a few software incompatibilities which I hope will eventually be rectified as developers get used to WM5 quirks, but otherwise it has been smooth sailing. So far I have loaded
