Right now, AT&T has refurbished AT&T Tilts for $149.99, when you sign up for a 2 year contract, or are eligible for a device upgrade. That’s about 63% off the full retail price of $399.99. I picked one up last week and got the holiday weekend to play with it. The device is pretty cool; [...]
Review: Coghlan’s 0.5 W LED Headlight
After writing the review for the Coghlan’s LED Micro Lantern, Coghlan’s offered to send me 2 new LED headlights to review. Today I am going to take a look at the 0.5 Watt LED Headlight from Coghlan’s. The wattage of this headlight is serious. If you need to be able to see anywhere you point [...]
Google’s Android Exposed!
I feel like we should start a feature called “Where’s Vincent?!”, as he seems to wind up at a different tech event every few days; if I were using a map to keep up with his comings and goings, it would be full of pin-holes by now. It’s okay though, as long as he keeps [...]

Need A Backup Cell Phone? AT&T Phone Only $4.99 – No Contract, SIM Card Included
Over the weekend a press release announced the HOP 1800 which is a rather ugly prepaid $10 phone that did not have a display screen. This budget phone will be sold in retail outlets. It set me wondering why anyone would pay $10 for a phone with no display screen, no camera, and no SIM [...]

The lost XO

The 2008 Scion xB Gold Rush Mica Release 5.0
In recent months I’ve been looking at getting a new car. Actually, at first, I was looking at used cars, but, eventually, I ended up looking at new hatchbacks.
