Livescribe Pulse Smartpen Review

I ordered a Livescribe Pulse Smartpen a few weeks ago after seeing an ad for it. Having now used it for a few weeks I can honestly say that, other than my various Apple products, this may well be my favorite technology purchase ever.

Hot Pursuit for Windows Mobile Review

Games for devices such as PalmOS and Windows Mobile PDA’s have typically gotten much less attention than those for consoles and handhelds by big names such as Sony and Nintendo. What that has meant is that it is harder for game producers to get their games into the hands of those who might enjoy them: [...]

Review: Proporta Beach Buoy

The summer travel season is fast coming upon us. In fact, here in Columbus we have a day in the 80′s predicted already! While it’s still not warm enough to go swimming, when you do finally take the plunge you may want to take this with you.

Pacemaker Handheld DJ system eliminates hernia, backache and headache for busy DJs and wannabes alike

All through college I worked weekends as a Disk Jockey. I have many none-too-fond memories of lugging heavy crates of albums (the CD was JUST being invented) into and out of way too many clubs. My hands still ache at the thought of how heavy those records were. Now things have changed for the better [...]

Review – OtterBox Armor Case for 4th Generation iPod Nano

I briefly had a new iPod Shuffle when it was released last month. I loved the size and the voiceover feature, but ended up returning it. Why? The inability to use any headset other than the stock Apple buds didn’t work for me. I have, and use, a number of relatively high end headsets with [...]

Large, rear-wheel-drive American sedans still hold a place in consumer’s hearts judging by how many times I am asked my opinions on cars such as the Dodge Charger.

No, this rectangular black box is not the monolith from 2001; it’s the LaCie Little Disk, and it’s the latest addition to my gear bag.

Review: Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS

I remember reading a New York Times article that was calling the recently released entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise of video games ‘one of the most important’ video games released in recent years. The article talks about how by bringing a fully fleshed out entry of the M-rated series to a platform generally [...]
