One common early criticism of iOS devices was that it was impossible to simply load up files on the device. While Cloud services from Apple and others rendered that point moot, there are still some who want to simply use their iPhone as a USB storage device. WiFi USB allows pretty much that, and while [...]

Music Diary Review: Dave Chisholm – Calligraphy
Dave Chisholm – Calligraphy Dave Chisholm – Calligraphy I reviewed Dave Chisholm’s ‘Radioactive’ nearly a year and a half ago, noting: The thing I love about the ‘new big band’ music like Chisholm’s is that it combines small ensemble open-ness and intercommunication and large group harmonic structure and depth of composition. The title track is [...]
The Silliness of Delayed Releases in a Global World
“Sherlock” is an excellent, excellent BBC series set in the present day, based on the Arthur Conan Doyle “Sherlock Holmes” stories. I could rave on and on about how wonderful it is, how it stays true to both the characters and the “feel” of the original stories, but I’m not really a TV reviewer. I [...]
Sena Hampton Wallet for iPhone 4/4S Giveaway
We reviewed the Sena Hampton Wallet for iPhone 4/4S the other day. It is beautiful iPhone case/wallet combination made from textured leather. It looks and feels like a quality product because that is exactly what it is. Many people won’t want it simple because they don’t like cases that need to be opened in order [...]

If you didn’t get an ebook reader this Christmas and you really want a bigger screen, Woot! has you covered. They apparently still have some Kindle DX models left over from their pre-Christmas blowout, so if you missed it last time now’s your big chance to snag one. The DX is basically the only “large [...]
Sonamba Enables Boomers to Monitor & Stay Closer to Their Aging Parents (Demoing at CES and ShowStoppers)
As I push deeper into middle age, I spend an increasing time thinking about how to deal with the fact that my parents will, inevitably, not be as active and (let’s face it) physically capable of doing stuff as they were when I was a kid. Heck, I’m not as physically capable; for my Mom [...]

Thank You For Calling Verizon Wireless, How May I Collect an Extra $2 (or not)?
Sorry about the Better Off Dead image, but when I saw this at Droid-Life yesterday that was all I could think of … Verizon Wireless as Johnny chasing Lane across the field and down the mountain in search of the $2 paper money. Here is the image more related to the new policy: According to [...]
GearChat: You Just Bought a Brand-New Game Console–Time to Upgrade!
Image courtesy of PS4 Talk How it started, basically, is because I can’t keep my mouth shut when something bugs the crap out of me. I complain. And sometimes, when the topic is gear, I complain to Your Humble Gear Diary Team. So what’s the problem? Maybe you’ve noticed that when you buy a new [...]
Planet Fitness Has Way to Keep You Coming Back
Our five year old washing machine died two weeks ago and had to be replaced. We were told, at the time, that five years is about the lifespan for this type of appliance these days. That’s not so surprising considering the fact that the 25-year-old dishwasher at our lake cabin is still going strong. Yes, [...]
Someone At Apple Was A Ghostbusters Fan…
I love “Ghostbusters”. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. In fact, I had a plastic Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man decorating more than one of my apartments post-college. How can you not love it? It’s pretty much the perfect movie. And according to The Verge, back in the ’80s someone at Apple felt the [...]
