Images courtesy of Tokyoflash Tokyoflash has excited the geek nation once again by re-releasing the Kisai RPM design. Back in November the Kisai RPM was outed as the first user submitted watch design (concept-to-reality) to be made by Japanese company.

iPhone 4 Case Review: e13ctron’s s4 Case for iPhone 4
I absolutely loved the original version of e13ctron’s s4 for iPhone 4. It was a sleek aluminum case that protected the iPhone, didn’t add too terribly much weight and had a beveled shape in strategic areas that just felt great in the hand. Yes, I loved the case and I used it… For a day. [...]
Next Call of Duty to Charge Monthly Fee for Multiplayer
C’mon … you KNEW it was coming. First there was the price increase to $60 for this generation of games. That is easy enough to justify and accept based on the cost to product the graphics assets. Next we started with DLC, which very quickly spawned the whole ‘Horse Armor’ DLC nonsense. DLC is paid [...]
iPad Accessory Review: The Joy Factory’s PowerBullet-X
My brother-in-law Robert recently ordered an iPad. I never thought I would see the day when that would happen but order he did. The same goes for my friend Michael. He too finally hit the “Order” button and came into the new post-pc era. I predict that Robert and Michael will find themselves using their [...]
Music Diary Notes: Apple Will Unveil iCloud on June 6th!
There has been growing speculation ever since Apple bought Lala nearly 1.5 years ago, but now it is confirmed by Apple itself: Apple is entering the ‘cloud streaming’ business as of June 6th when it will introduce iCloud officially. Oh, there is some iOS and Mac OS X Lion stuff and this guy Steve will [...]
Making a Pilgrimage? Apple’s 5th Ave Store is Destination for Many
The Huff Post recently published an article that “Apple Stimulates ‘Religious’ Reaction in Fans’ Brains”. That may sound like a ridiculous April Fools Day post, but neuroscience is neuroscience and clearly Apple has found a way to quite literally strike a nerve in many. It should come as no surprise then that, for many, Apple’s [...]
StarTech Announces a Duo of Highly Connected 4-Bay Hard Drive Docking Stations
Image courtesy of StarTech As a Systems Administrator, I’m always looking for new tools to help me get my job done faster and more efficiently. I spend a lot of time at work creating operating system builds and imaging in preparation for mass deployment. During the process I have to build an image, distribute it [...]
State of the eBook: What Happens Next?
So, last week was a busy one for ebooks! Kobo and B&N released new competing touchscreen readers, and Amazon and B&N became embroiled in quite the PR war over battery life. So what happened, and what’s coming next? Let’s start with a quick cheat sheet on what’s new, and what everyone’s offering: Kobo: The fine [...]
Zinio Magazine App Now Available in the Android Market
It took far longer than we hoped or expected but, as of this morning, Zinio’s app is live in the Android Market. That’s right, if you have a device running Android 2.2 or above Android Honeycomb you can now get hundreds (thousands actually) of magazines right on your Android device. Zinio is one of my [...]
Web Site Giveaway Adventures in Customer Service
One thing is clear – gadget-heads love their stuff. We love getting it, playing with all the features, and then moving on to the next new shiny thing. I am certainly no exception, and as a result I have loads of tech sites I track on a regular basis – and loads of giveaways I [...]
Music Diary In Memorium: Gil Scott Heron (1949-2011)
Way back in the mid-70′s the music played on shows like Saturday Night Live represented the same sort of off-beat, out of the mainstream approaches as the show itself. In contrast to the Katy Perry/Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars list of generic corporate-rehash pop ‘Johnny Bravos’, you could hear Leon Redbone, Frank Zappa, Betty Carter, Captain Beefheart, [...]
Yo, Apple: Time for a UI Redesign!
“Where is the Bluetooth menu, again?” Really, you all can blame Thomas for this. He tweeted: Apple – Please move the Bluetooth toggle from Settings > General to Settings (w/ Wifi, Personal Hotspot & Airplane Mode) where it belongs. I usually don’t kvetch–publicly, anyway!–about the choices that user interface (UI) and operating system (OS) software [...]
Shooting Gear Review: X-Rest by Montie Gear
Here at Gear Diary, we write about a huge variety of products and services. One area that we rarely touch on is the hobby of shooting. Living in South Texas and being a country boy means that I have done my fair share of shooting. I love to hunt, despite rarely getting the chance and [...]
Sudoku 2 for iPhone/Touch
We are all feeling the financial pinch! Blue Plate Special is a weekly review of bargain apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Nothing over $.99. I have loved playing Sudoku since it became a craze appearing in newspapers. My wife bought me a book full of puzzles one year and I would often print [...]
Is Barnes & Noble Gearing Up to Completely Kill eReader and Fictionwise?
If you have a big eReader or Fictionwise library, I strongly encourage you to do two things. One, download any books in your library and archive them on a hard drive or SD card, and two, download and store the appropriate software to read them on your smartphone or computer. Here’s the eReader download page [...]
