Gear Diary

Yesterday Judie and I both put in pre-orders for the Sony NR70V PDA. This time we’re going to do a joint review, which should be great! Tomorrow is the day my Direcway dish gets installed. I’m getting SO excited! I won’t know what to do with speeds higher than 33.6k! I’ll keep you all posted […]

You know the old saying about March… It either comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion, or visa versa? Well, here in Indiana, it appears to be going out like a lion! We received an ice storm last night which caused the power to go out at 3am. It only just

I have been enjoying putting Pocket Informant 3 through its paces and in the process, I have decided that I will write a differently styled software review for it than I would usually do. Since my usual method is to walk everyone through all of the features a program has… well, let’s just say that

Yesterday I ordered a Direcway 2-way satellite broadband system. Crappy dial up connections of less than 33.6kpbs most of the time finally got to me. Unfortunately, I can’t get DSL, Cable, ISDN or anything else faster than 2 tin cans and a string in my area. Once I get it, would anyone be interested in

I just received this letter from my friend Ellen Beeman. Hopefully some of you will be in a position where you can help her out. “My group Beemania.com is experimenting with developing software for users of the Japanese DoCoMo I-mode and J-phone cellular phone services. I’m looking for English-speaking persons living in Japan who own

If you are even remotely as addicted to TV as I am, you MUST check out Pocket TV Browser from DoubleBit Software for the Pocket PC. It is an electronic TV guide listing program for your PDA. As a long time user of PTVL, I decided to try this newer application, and I was totally

How would you like to have a bucking bull-rider on your Pocket PC’s Today Screen? I’m not talking about a picture of one – I mean an actual cartoon cowboy bucking away…or a working lava-lamp, a swimming fish, your company’s logo dancing accross the screen or…well, you get the idea. The possibilities are endless! phillip

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY, EVERYONE! Are you wearing anything green…or do I need to pinch you? ;0)

YAY! I am finally home! Tomorrow, I will put together a page with some pictures from my Hawaii trip and the first ever Honolulu Pocket PC User’s Group Meeting…including the one of me sitting in the governor’s chair! Thanks Todd! Later… Okay – here is the “My Trip to Hawaii” Page. Maybe it will inspire

Well! I just got back from one of the most fun afternoons I have spent in some time! Today was the first ever Honolulu Pocket PC Users Group meeting – and it looks like they are off to a great start! My afternoon began when I was picked up by Ryan Mock (PDA Street) in

The Treo is on its way back to Handspring today. Luckily, I was able to terminate my VoiceStream account without having to pay the $200 fee! It took 3 calls, but it was worth it. :o) Tonight I’m going to be posting two MP3 player reviews. I’m on a quest to find the best and

I seem to be having a streak of good luck lately…Not only was my name called to win a $50 ticket to a Hawaiian magic show while we were at our vacation orientation yesterday morning (trust me – stuff like this never happens to me), but today I received an e-mail saying that the first

I’ve got a little bad news about the Treo. My VoiceStream coverage sucks and as a result, I’m not sure how much my review will focus on things like sound quality etc. as I can’t test that here at home at all. I’m going to be running around today, so I’m going to try to

Well, after a full day of traveling, We are in Oahu! YAY! It was interesting to leave from the San Antonio Airport – in 60 degree weather, connect in Salt Lake City – where there was snow on the ground, and then to arrive in Waikiki, where it is 80 degrees and gorgeous! We were

Just when I was about to give up hope…I received my Toshiba Genio e570!! Now I will be able to take it along with me to Hawaii and start putting it through its paces. So far, I am impressed with its compact size and how efficiently everything appears to be arranged…but realize that I have
