The year 2009 isn’t even one quarter of the way over and I’ve already found my most useless gadget of the year award recipient. It’s an enormously huge MP3 dock whose primary selling point is to allow you to insert your own tiny iPod into a docking station and create an MP3 player with speakers/radio/CD [...]

What’s the best BlackBerry Twitter Client?
If you’re a Twitter user (view this 2:25 video for the best explanation of what Twitter is) and also have a BlackBerry then you may be wondering what the best Twitter client on the ‘Berry is? This is a question I see over an over and I found a good article on CrackBerry that gives [...]
Apple Time Capsule – 1 TB – $388
I just spotted this Apple 1TB Time Capsule wireless router and 1 TB storage disk marked down from the normal $499 to $387.92 on Amazon (free shipping for Amazon Prime members). Several people have suggested Apple calls this 1TB product a “Time Capsule” because the pricing takes you back to the days when a 1TB [...]
The Amazing Hubble Space Telescope in Action
According to astronomer Lyman Spitzer’s 1946 paper “Astronomical advantages of an extraterrestrial observatory”, there were two main advantages that a space-based observatory would have over ground-based telescopes. The first advantage was that “the angular resolution (smallest separation at which objects can be clearly distinguished) would be limited only by diffraction, rather than by the turbulence [...]
Kindle Case – Another Option
Like Judie, I unboxed my Kindle VERY carefully. The Kindle wasn’t inexpensive, and having read Rob Bushway’s tale of woe, I didn’t want a repeat. So… while I had not initially bought a case for my Kindle (hello Amazon, talk about cheap! Include SOMETHING case-wise for crying out loud), I did order the standard case [...]
Plug Mug ends office thievery (or leaves a trail to the culprit)
Modern offices can be a jungle. If the lunchroom thief doesn’t get your Turkey Sandwich you’re probably on guard against those coffee mug thieves! If your office is like ours (where you have one clean coffee mug and 5 un-sanitary ones) – then clean mugs are at a premium. Unfortunately those nice mugs also seem [...]
Unboxing the Amazon Kindle 2
I was starting to feel like I was one of the last people to get theirs, especially after enviously reading Dan’s emails and Doug‘s post about their Kindle 2s, but today my Amazon Kindle 2 finally showed up. I also got the Cole Haan Brown pebbly leather cover to go with it, since Amazon neglected [...]
Proporta’s Panther Pack Bundle keeps road warriors armed and ready
The Proporta Panther pack has just about one of everything that today’s modern road warrior might need to keep them charged up while stuck on a long car trip. There’s a dual USB car charger, 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm male on male stereo cable as well as a magnetic dashboard mount. All of this [...]
2009 Jaguar XF supercharged – Kitty has claws!
The 2009 XF from Jaguar – the new midsize luxury sedan-in-coupe-clothing that replaced both S- and X-type models last year – quickly became one of my favorite new cars, and my recent test of the supercharged version of the new cat only solidifies my stance.
14% of all Boston robberies involve T-Mobile Sidekick
According to a story on Yahoo News, the T-Mobile Sidekick might just be the most stolen phone in all of the country for 2008. The phone is very popular among younger kids who enjoy the full keyboard for text messaging and the flip up screen for web browsing. Police in Boston report more than 300 [...]

Going green? How about reusable toilet paper?
Interested in doing your part to improve the environment. Who’s with me on switching to reusable toilet paper? Cloth toilet paper is not much different from the concept of re-usable diapers. It’s more economical, uses less paper and — no more late night trips to the store when you run out of paper! Biggest downside? [...]
dub is yet another address sync that I have to pester my friends to join – what am I missing?
For the last week I’ve been reading about a new address book exchange service called Dub. It seems that web sites are ripping the press release almost verbatim and pronouncing this service “cool”. I guess most of the folks writing about the service don’t work for a living where they have to exchange contact information [...]
NTT DoCoMo to BlackBerry Bold: You’re Hot
There’s word that NTT DoCoMo, one of Japan’s biggest mobile phone operators, has pulled all sales of Research in Motion’s BlackBerry Bold due to potential overheating problems. It looks like the issue concerns rapid temperature gains while the phone is plugged in and re-charging. So far according to news reports the carrier reports selling about [...]
Verizon giving away BlackBerries to all Storm owners
Several BlackBerry Storm owners on Howardforums are reporting that they’ve recently received a text message from Verizon offering a free BlackBerry of their choosing provided that they open another line of service on their account. This promotion is apparently some type of subset of the “buy one get one free” offer that Verizon has been [...]
