When I was a kid, my parents bought me my first robot. Except this was in the early 70s, so it wasn’t a real robot – it was a fuzzy effigy, a mechanized kitten thing. The kitten was tethered by co-joined wires to a long battery box which also served as a remote control. It [...]

Review: The AirDrive Hybrid Stereo Earphones — Shattering the Cone of Silence
I have reviewed a number of different higher end headphones, both here and at Just Another Mobile Monday. For the most part, these headphones have involved cramming a small speaker as deeply into your ear as possible, in order to a) block outside noise, and isolate you within the music; and b) get the music [...]
2008 Jaguar XKR Convertible
I find it only fitting that on Valentine’s Day I write about one of the vehicle’s I am most in love with – the Jaguar XKR, and in convertible form no less.
Review: Levenger’s Editor’s Desk — Saving My Back One Word At A Time.
I have been writing for most of my life. Short stories. False starts on novels. Three different newspapers and two radio stations. Heck, even as a lawyer I spend most of my day writing and editing. And, of course, here at Gear Diary and Just Another Mobile Monday. And let me tell you, I have [...]
E-TEN X800 Blog 1: Radio Reception
Over the past week or so, I’ve been putting the E-TEN X800 through its paces. Having owned or used the M500, G500, and M700, I thought I knew what to expect with the X800. The GSM radios in all three of those quad-band GSM phones left a great deal to be desired. Honestly, I was [...]
Is Google Apps a Microsoft Office Killer?
I started experimenting with Google Apps for a story I wrote about a month ago. For those who have never used Google Apps – think of it as Google’s version of Microsoft Office – only there is no software to load because everything runs in your web browser. Here are my summarized first impressions after [...]
The Mobile Edge / Maddie Powers Cutebug Laptop Messenger Bag Review
I was eager to review the Mobile Edge /Maddie Powers Cutebug Laptop Messenger Bag, because it is one of the most original I’ve ever seen. Combining the extremely well executed features we have come to expect from Mobile Edge with the sassy iconic images Maddie Powers’ designs borrow from 1940s and 50s pulp fiction magazines, [...]
City-owned Gadget Garners Detroit Mayor Grief
Okay, okay, I couldn’t help the early newspaper type alliterative headline. Being a Detroit native, this story of alleged sex and perjury caught my attention. The story is that the mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, fired some police officers. The officers sued the city claiming wrongful termination. They claimed that the mayor fired them because [...]
Make some music: The Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker REVIEW
Good things do come in small packages. I asked my LEGO friends Beetle and Maynard with their girlfriends Sunshine and Faith to check out the new Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker that Thomas at USB Fever sent from overseas. Beetle: “As sound technicians for the Best Little LEGO Band from Nashville, we got frustrated with the [...]
The Sleeptracker Pro Watch Review
This review has been a struggle to write. Not because of a problem with the product so much, but because of my irregular sleep patterns and my less than regular schedule. Let me start by giving you an overview of how my typical day goes…never mind, I have no typical days. Instead of a routine [...]
Review: TrakAx Mobile Media Mixer for the Masses
When I first started using portable devices, way back in 2000, I thought they would be a fantastic vehicle for editing photos and creating slideshows and picture movies. They weren’t. At least not then. Fast forward to 2005, when I discovered Resco Photo Viewer. At last , a mobile photo editor which was comparable, in [...]
Talk Me Out of This…MacBook Air Edition
Vincent, always the enabler, knows that I am tempted by the MacBook Air – even though I can’t exactly justify it, and even though I so recently complained about Apple Tech Support. But his video is so intriguing…and the Air is so thin, so light, and so drool-worthy. I can’t help but wonder though, if [...]
The Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 REVIEW
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 [...]
