So you just dropped a couple of hundred dollars on your new iPad right? While there aren’t a ton of case options for your new device yet (many are starting to pop up, but the iPad is still new after all) those that are available are expensive. You still need protection for your iPad though [...]

Review: Uniden Wireless Power Charging System
Though I’ve never had the opportunity to use a Palm Pre, one thing I know I would like from it is the optional Touchstone charger. The ability to just put down the phone and have it start charging, then pick it up when a you want to use it without having to disconnect cables is [...]
Gear Diary Readers I Need Your Help!
I’m going to make this as brief as I possibly can in the hopes that you, the Gear Diary reader, reads through it and has time to leave me some advice by filling out the poll below. Here’s the deal. I have the WiFi iPad. After having it for a week or so I picked [...]
Don’t Mess With Amazon
Lately book pricing is a better drama than daytime soap operas. While the publishers have thrown their undying love and affection towards Apple, Amazon has been quietly maintaining their dominant position. Time and again, the publishers complain bitterly about ebook and book pricing, but the reality is they need Amazon far, far, more than they [...]
FastCrawl (2006, RPG): The Netbook Gamer
Got any plans for lunch hour? Let me show you one of the best dungeon crawlers you can start and finish before going back to work! It seemed that 2006 was the ‘year of the casual game’ … everyone was attributing the success of the DS and the allure of the Wii to the desire [...]
Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess Review
The Hype: Take control of the aristocratic demon known only as The Duke in an upwards-scrolling platformer and chase down fleeing monsters. The Reality: Let’s face it – if the title of the game “Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess” doesn’t immediately intrigue you … you need to inject more whimsy into your life. And once [...]
Truth In Advertising Meets Photopshop
(image courtesy Businessweek) We all know certain pictures, like the mouth-watering shot of Cocoa Puffs on the box, are retouched to look better. But do you ever think about the shot of that bargain hotel you found through Google? Does it really have an ocean view, or is it just bordering a street called Ocean [...]
The Wicked Lasers Blu-Ray Sonar Advanced 100mW Violet Laser Review
I am not sure exactly why, but lasers fascinate me. Maybe I’ve watched too many Jedi movies over the years or maybe it’s a by-product of the times in which I grew up, but lasers, and the idea of what some of them are capable of doing, give me a thrill. Wicked Lasers, a company [...]
Gear Chat #9 – iPad 3G On The Way…
In the 9th edition of Gear Chat we talk about the iPad 3G. The devices are prepped to ship and should arrive Friday April 30th. Will Larry keep his or continue to use his WiFi version plus the Sprint Overdrive? We’ll know soon enough… Oh, and we also talk about some iPhone and iPad apps, [...]
Review: Draw It! For iPad
There are no less than a ton of drawing applications currently available for the iPad. It’s far and away the one application category that the iTunes App Store isn’t in need of filling. So how do you differentiate between all of the draw on the screen apps currently at your disposal? Simple, you pick the [...]
Rhapsody Just Got Me Back As a Customer… Rhapsody For iPhone Review
I used to have a subscription to Rhapsody. At the time I was using a Creative Zen music player. (It was in the days when my motto was “Anything But Apple’s Products”. It seems like a lifetime ago.) The deal the company offered wasn’t bad. For $10 or $15 a month I could listen to [...]
Review: iParadise for iPhone/Touch/iPad
Need a vacation, but just cannot get away? Maybe you are single and just wish for a romantic trip to paradise with a significant other. Either way, your iPhone can now take you away with your love to an exotic island. iParadise offers a truly unique and deep iPhone experience. Almost any activity that can [...]
A Toast to Palm And HP!
Dearly beloved, we are here to pay our respects Whoops, sorry. That was my draft if Palm didn’t make it. We’re actually here to celebrate the happy couple, Palm and Hewlett Packard! Sure, the only thing making this more like a shotgun wedding would be if Palm were actively giving birth in the aisles, but [...]
Cub Scout ‘Video Game’ Loop/Pin: Pandering or Better Preparing Kids?
The joke of the day seems to be that the Cub Scouts are redefining ‘outdoor activities’ to include sitting in front of the TV playing video games. The reality is that the Boy Scouts of America are now offering a belt loop and pin to Cub Scouts (i.e. kids generally 6-11) related to Video Games. [...]
I Don’t Know If It’s Art, but I Like It!
Image courtesy of WebMuseum I love Jackson Pollock … but there are many who despise his work and would argue that his technique, described as “”all-over” painting, pouring paint rather than using brushes and a palette, and abandoning all conventions of a central motif”, isn’t art at all. I also love Derek Bailey … but [...]
