Several year ago, one of my Sunday morning rituals was relaxing on the couch, kicking back with a cup of coffee and reviewing the big box circulars from Staples, Circuit City or Best Buy. I would flip through and fantasize about the expensive laptops pictured in the ads, thinking that one day in the far [...]

Unboxing the Ugobe Pleo
It seems like I have been waiting forever to get my hands on the Ugobe Pleo, the robotic baby dinosaur that I first read about on my way home from CES 2007. A year has passed and even though Wal-Mart canceled my Pleo order right before Christmas, in the end Ugobe came through with a [...]
I can hear you: The Sennheiser BW900 Bluetooth Wireless Office Headset REVIEW
In today’s mobile work world, many are escaping the cubicle world by working at home or at least telecommuting. Even stay at home moms (and dads) are able to conduct thriving cottage businesses thanks to eBay, biz dev or creative arts scenarios – the possibilities are endless, especially for entrepreneurs. Having worked at home for [...]
Unboxing the Litter-Robot
If you own a cat, then you know that there is one part of pet ownership that can suck the joy out of the experience. No, I am not talking about hearing your cat hacking up hairballs in the middle of the night while she is sleeping on the bed next to you (not that [...]
My Apple Service Experience
Last night, I finally called Apple about Sarah’s messed-up nano. Some of you may remember that I had purchased her a black one after she fell in love with my green 8GB, and we even got it personalized with her name and the phrase “World Domination” – because that’s Sarah’s goal. So let me catch [...]
E-TEN X800 Unboxing
The E-TEN X800 is here!! As promised, here is the grand unboxing. I really enjoyed this, as the X800 seems to be a truly awesome device. I’ve owned a number of different E-TEN devices, the M500, the G500, the M700, and now the X800 (and soon to be X650). I was really concerned about this [...]
The Skooba Design Skooba Satchel 2.0 Luxe Review
It’s not often that I get to do decidedly “girly” laptop bag reviews, but this week I have two of them to write about…lucky me! And lucky for all of you women who come to Gear Diary, as well as your significant others. Need I mention that Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, and nothing says [...]
CES 2008: Meeting With i-mate
Judie: It stands to reason that our last post about CES would be about the last meeting Jerry and I attended; and as the title above this text reveals, that meeting was with i-mate. Here was an opportunity for us to enjoy some hands-on time with their long promised Ultimate line in the privacy of [...]
By land or sea: The OtterBox Apple iPhone Defender case REVIEW
The Apple iPhone is one amazing device. Yes, some naysayers will hem and haw about the lack of features, but on the flip side, 1.4 million people love the iPhone dearly. Of those 1.4 million humans who own the iPhone, they fall in three lifestyle categories: aquatic (water), terrestrial (land), or amphibious (water and land). [...]
The Recon 400X Review
Have you ever dropped a PDA or cellphone and had the screen crack? Have you had it up to here with Windows Mobile’s quirks? Well maybe, just maybe, this PDA is for you. What PDA can withstand drops and use in the rain? What PDA doesn’t run Windows Mobile or Palm OS anymore?? The Recon [...]
Total and Utter Crap: Gizmodo’s Stupid CES Prank on Motorola and Us Bloggers
I first found out about Gizmodo’s stupidity on ValleyWag a little earlier today; the post read “What’s the difference between a blogger and a journalist? Nothing, says CNET’s Rafe Needleman. But he’s concerned that Gizmodo’s sophomoric prank, using a TV remote control to turn off video screens at the CES 2008 gadgetfest, will get bloggers [...]
Review: Sandisk Sansa View — Could This Be Perfection In A Box?
I do not think I have anticipate writing any review as much as I have anticipated the Sandisk Sansa View. I first encountered the View last year when I discovered it on Sansa’s website. At that time, it looked significantly different than the entire line of Sansa players, bearing a large, wide screen and what [...]
How I turned the HTC Advantage into a laptop replacement
I’ve been quite the busy little Windows Mobile bee over the last couple of days. Inspired by Aura Mae’s comment that she used the HTC Advantage as something of a computer replacement, I set out to see whether I could achieve the same. Any boy, was I blown away by the results! The Advantage’s 5inch [...]
New Viper most lethal of all
A wise old local hotrodder once told me, “You can fool around with those fancy supercharging doo-hickeys all you want, but when it comes to raw power there is no substitute for cubic inches.” And while Dodge’s SRT folks may be fooling around with supercharging “doo-hickeys” on their entry SRT4 model, they still heed these [...]
I Have Officially Been Replaced by a Computer
I was in Vegas earlier this week. But not for the same reason as some people I know. I was there to celebrate New Years with my girlfriend and do a little gambling. I’m a video poker fan. Somebody once told me that playing video poker is like getting paid to take a standardized test [...]
