Image courtesy of LostandTired Last night while viewing to the RadioAndroid.net show I was able to be part of something pretty special. It’s been a while since I was able to listen in on the show but I’m certainly glad this was the one I was able to attend. The show starts at 10pm on [...]

Music Diary Notes: Why Predictions of Vinyl Out-living CD’s Make Sense
It had been close to three decades since I bought anything on vinyl, as I started shifting my collection from Vinyl to CD. In both cases I was simply recording to tape since my portable system in my college room was a tape-based system – and I wasn’t ready to move my expensive CD system [...]
More Cool Tech from the Beach- Apple TV Edition
We just spent a couple of nice days at a small boutique hotel on the Jersey Shore. As I mentioned the other day the Bungalow Hotel has a few neat pieces of tech at play. There’s the RFID room-key I mentioned the other day as well as their use of an HP Touchscreen All-In-One computer [...]
Twin Posts of Different Bloggers: C’mon people … we can do better than THIS!
We each wrote a post about a rumor that took on a life of its own and, in the process, lowers the credibility of all of us. With apologies to Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weissberg, the posts really are “Twin Posts of Different Bloggers” so we thought we would combine them into one. First up… [...]
Grinding Gears in the 2011 Subaru WRX STi
The ubiquitous star of the World Rally Championship circuit and edgy X-game competition has brought even more excitement and performance to the model you and I can call a daily driver. In 2008, Subaru redesigned and rebuilt the Impreza lineup. In 2009, the WRX team worked toward a goal termed “Kyo-Ka” (translated from Japanese as [...]
Now Shipping: AViiQ Portable Charging Station
I’ve been working hard to streamline the tech I use. I now I only use a laptop (although I have to admit to using a docking system at home) and am trying hard to keep the cords and peripherals I use in check. With so many gadgets available it is just TOO EASY for things [...]
Multiple New Retailers For eBook Readers!
If you were sweating bullets that there aren’t enough places to purchase your ebook reader of choice, don’t worry! Both Amazon and B&N picked up new retailers, so you’ll have even more shopping options. B&N has announced that Office Max will be carrying the NOOK Simple Touch Reader, so if you don’t live near a [...]
Mac OS X Lion in Everyday Life: Defaults and Compatibility
Last week Apple release Mac OS X ‘Lion’ with more than a million folks upgrading on the first day, and immediately we reported a couple of compatibility issues. I noted LiveScribe and Dan noted Sonos – both recommended holding off upgrading until compatibility issues have been resolved. We have also noted that the Neat Company [...]
Speck Gets Some Love from the History Channel’s ‘Inspector America’
Have you caught any episodes of Inspector America? That’s the show where Timothy Galarnyk, an “infrastructure safety inspector with over 35 years of experience”, goes around the country checking out our cities bridges, roads, water-systems (among other things) in order to show what is right or wrong with the way our infrastructure is being maintained [...]
The Neat Company’s NeatWorks Software Updated for Mac OS X Lion
I’m totally sold on The Neat Company’s hardware/software combination that I reviewed a while back. It is a great way to move in the direction of being totally paperless and, best of all, it just works beautifully. I was bummed to discover that the Neat software was one of the things that would [...]
Listen Up Hotels, Near Field Communication Room Keys are Here and They are Awesome
Elana and I are at our third stop on our “Jersey Shore Road Trip”. This time we are staying at a cute little boutique hotel just a block from the beach. The hotel was designed by Bob and Cortney Novogratz, owners of the NYC based design firm, Sixx Design, and stars of Bravo’s docu-series “9 [...]
Music Diary Notes: Spotify Has Early Success, but … a LONG Way to Go to that 50 Million Member Goal!
Over the weekend we got some initial data from the Spotify launch courtesy of Billboard, who cite ‘inside sources’ as estimating that in the first week or so after launch Spotify has 70,000 subscribers (i.e. people who pay). From the article: In my travels last night and in emails this morning I had three distinct [...]
Twelve South Introduces BookBook for iPhone
Twelve South makes some of the nicest accessories around. We reviewed their BookBook iPad case and loved it. (My father-in-law stole it for his iPad and still won’t give it back!) We bought and reviewed their Compass iPad stand and I still use it quite often. Now Twelve South is introducing the BookBook for iPhone [...]
Apple’s In-App Sales Policy: An Intimidation Tactic?
(image courtesy mofunu) There was so much drama and upheaval in the eBook, magazine,and subscription services on iOS yesterday as Amazon, Barnes and Noble and others caved to Apple’s demands that they either get a 30% cut of in-app sales or all links to external purchasing systems be removed, that is is easy to assume [...]
NOOK for iPad Adds Periodicals Support
B&N has some big news for their iPad customers. No, it’s not the nearly-beaten-to-death debate about store links. They’re adding support for periodicals and newspapers! This is actually pretty exciting, especially if they use the same bells and whistles as the NOOKcolor. When I reviewed the NOOKcolor I was really impressed with ArticleView and the [...]
