2006 went by all too quickly. It was a year full of making new friends, renewing past relationships, unbelievable offers, epiphanies, exciting transitions, new partnerships, and with the exception of one major let-down – it was a supremely wonderful year. There’s no telling what will happen in 2007, but here are a few things you [...]

Have Your Name Sent to Mars
The Planetary Society, once again is having names put onto a special silica glass DVD to send to Mars with the next Mars probe named Phoenix. They say that the glass DVD will last thousands of years and it carries a message to future visitors of the red planet. Until January 5th, you can get a [...]

I’m IT!!
No, I am not full of myself – I just got tagged twice in one day! First Chris, and then Alison…so a double tag means I get to cheat and do them together. Ha! The rules are that I have to post five things that you may not already know about me, which is going [...]

HTC Device Details Emerge
It would appear that the HTC Athena we have been talking about for the past couple of weeks is actually going to happen. The bad news is it may have a price tag of $1700. Yeah. I sure hope that is a typo, or just a bad guess. Earlier today, Chris at Mobility Site posted [...]
Slacker of the Year Award…Goes to Me!
I had great intentions of finishing and posting the Psyclone Gaming Accessories Nodus PSP Sound System this afternoon, but Sarah kidnapped me this morning and we went to see Eragon. For once I hadn’t read the story already, so I didn’t sit there the whole time thinking “this isn’t what happened in the book, hey!” photo courtesy [...]
The SPB Backup for Pocket PC Review
My Treo started playing up recently, with random software crashes and some sort of battery drain. It got to the point where my Treo would only last 6hrs without any use before it would be dead. I had also just received my MacBook Pro, but I couldn’t get it to sync with it, so I [...]
Very Cool Navigational UMPC…Unfortunate Name
Bjorn from Ultra Mobile Life unboxes the Uren V1, a 30GB Korean UMPC that may or may not ever make it to the US. It reminds me in many ways of the HP iPAQ 5915, because right out of the box it includes all sorts of nifty accessories which will allow the V1 to work [...]
The Belkin CushTop Review
When I bought my latest laptop I envisioned spending more time sitting on the office couch, versus time spent sitting at my desk. In this lovely fantasy, I would no longer sit with my back half-turned to the room; instead I would have my feet propped on an ottoman, with WiFi streaming to the laptop [...]
The Lumaray FL12-RX LED Flashlight Review
It’s hard to believe that this will be my fourth Lumaray LED flashlight review, but it’s true. Every time Lumaray releases a new light, I have to wonder what they could possibly do to improve upon their past version, but each time they manage to surprise and impress me. Let’s take a trip down memory [...]
L E X Announces His Pocket PC Alarm Fix
[Ed. note: I received this email today, perhaps the mentioned fix will be helpful to Gear Diary readers.] Hi Judie, I just submitted this article to PocketPC Thoughts, but so what if you post it first? I’m one frustrated PPC user with the continued inability of WM5 to reliably sound reminder alarms. I’ve created a [...]
The Brando USB MP3 Player + SD/MMC Card Reader Review
If you haven’t yet succumbed to the Apple iPod shuffle, then you might be interested in taking a look at another flash-based MP3 player that not only costs less, it can be configured to carry significantly more music for the same amount of money. I’m talking about the Brando USB MP3 Player + SD/MMC Card [...]
