Nintendo DSi XL Released … DSiWare Takes Another Hit

Image courtesy of VGBlogger I know I haven’t talked much about the recently released Nintendo DSiXL … well, that is because it is a DSi that is bigger, and I already did a DSi Review last year. There have been plenty of other reviews, but today from GameStop there was some news that should make [...]

Kobo Outlines Agency Changes, Offers Up One Last Coupon

The agency model of publishing ebooks is about to go into effect on April 1st. Just to review, it sets up a formal split between publisher and seller that, among other things, prevents retailers from adjusting their pricing.

Evernote Integration Focus- SAP StreamWork

I know, I know… Yet another Evernote post. Then again, think of it this way… At least it’s not another iPad post… As I have written about numerous times before, one of my key productivity applications isn’t an application at all. Rather, Evernote is a service whose power comes from a series of applications that [...]

Otterbox Brings the Commuter Case to The Motorola Droid

Looks like those of us with Motorola Droids can enjoy some OtterBox love these days. While they can’t offer the waterproof/dustproof/lifeproof protection some of their tougher cases are known for, OtterBox seems to have cracked the ultimate dilemma; protecting phones that need to work as two pieces!

Beam N Read Lights Review

Needing a light in a dark room is a funky thing. Flashlights are okay, but they take up one hand (or your teeth if you’re extra tough). Headlamps don’t always provide an even light, and don’t even bother to try those tiny LED keyring lights. If you’re reading, there’s always booklights, but I find those [...]

Gear Diary Deal or Dud: Bottle Tops

The Bottle Tops also prevent “things” from crawling into your drinks on [...]

Thief: Deadly Shadows (2004, FPStealth): The Netbook Gamer

Tron Legacy Trailer Is Full Of Awesome!

Image courtesy of FilmoFilia Tron is a true classic in terms of the technical elements of film making, but unlike other groundbreaking films such as The Last Starfighter it maintains an appeal to this day. My kids thoroughly enjoy the film, the arcade games, the GBA and PC games, and generally like the whole ‘into [...]
