I live in York, PA with my wife, Kelly and children, Zack and Mackenzie. I am currently a Media Consultant for Idearc Media. My two passions are mobile devices and sports. I started with a Radio Shack TRS-80 and a handheld electronic organizer twenty years ago and have progressed through various Palms, Compaqs, Casios, and HPs. My set-up now includes an HTC Advantage, Samsung I-760, and an HP Pavilion TX 2000 Tablet. I also spent years working for two major cellular providers and miss having the access to all those devices to play with. My latest ambition is writing a book/blog on combining technology with sales to increase productivity and perfomance.

Why does it seem like talking about something jinxes it. I know that you can jinx a no-hitter by talking about it, but kill your favorite gadget? Unheard of. I did Dan’s Gear-Libs the other day, singing the praises of my HTC Advantage 7501. Last night it passed on to gadget heaven. It had been fine except for the micro-drive which stopped working a few months ago.… Continue reading on Gear Diary …
