I’m not a big fan of Facebook, honestly. I’m glad to be able to hook up (in the non-sexual sense) with old friends from high school and college that I’ve lost track of over the years, catch up on what my b’zillion cousins are doing (that would be the Catholic side of the family, mostly), [...]

Incipio Offers Several New Cases for the BlackBerry Q10
I don’t know if Blackberry is long for this world or not. Personally, I hope they are. For one thing, I always hate to see tech companies that were really innovative go belly-up, and BlackBerry was definitely in that category. (Heck, I still lament the passing of SiliconGraphics.) For another thing, as I have pointed [...]
New Credo WS Digital Camera Backs Now Available from Mamiya Leaf
While for the most part I tend to write posts on things that cost a few bucks (or that are even FREE!), or at most a few tens of dollars, every once in a while we point out to you, our faithful readers, items that (no kidding) are way up there on the top of [...]
Up to 35% Off Sale on Select EVA Cases by Cocoon Innovations
The thing about having so many gizmos available to The Average Person nowadays–well, maybe not the thing, but at least one of the things–is that of transportability an haulage. Not only do the devices themselves require carrying around, but also their accoutrements–cables, adapters, mice, track pads, spare batteries, and all the other stuff you’ve learned [...]
AVG Technologies Introduces AVG TuneUp for Android
I’ve harped on it often enough, but we all know it to be the truth: Smartphones suck up power like nobody’s business. It’s not surprising, really; when you hold in your hand enough computing power to track all the weather on the planet, make phone calls to your friends, search Wikipedia, play CPU-intensive games, and [...]
Samsung Galaxy S4 Comes to Sprint on April 27
Just because I’m an iPhone guy doesn’t mean that I don’t follow what happens over in the Android world. And in the Android world, you got yourself a new Samsung Galaxy S4. And if you’re a Sprint customer who’s been wondering, “Yeah, that’s nice; when do I get my hands on the durn thing”, the [...]
Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC Coming in June
Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon table PC “comin’ soon” A few months back your ever-vigilant Gear Diary team let you know about a coming Lenovo “tabletop” PC that they unveiled at CES. (In retrospect, I’m absolutely stunned that I didn’t make some kind of mention about how they had been using a similar device in my favorite [...]
USBFever Releases12X Telescope Lens with Hard Case for Nokia Lumia 920
Just in case you folks were wondering, USBFever does not only make those case-and-lens combos only for the iPhone. No sir! USBFever is a bunch of equal-opportunity folks when it comes to producing tech gear. Besides, it’d be kinda dumb to miss out on the Windows Phone portion of the market, right? So I’m sure [...]

You guys know, if you read our news pieces with any regularity, that we are always totally stoked to point you to free stuff. And this looks pretty cool, honestly; an iOS app that lets you play around with your photo images. I mean let’s face it: One of the cool things about smartphones (to [...]
Popular Stop-Smoking Crush the Crave App Updated
The popular stop-smoking iOS app Crush the Crave has been updated One of the things about having “Mad Men” on TV is it totally reminds me how much friggin’ cigarette smoking used to go on Back in the Day. Seriously, it’s hard to believe now, what with smoking being banned basically everywhere but private homes–and [...]
Mkeeper Shoulder Bag Gento for iPad 4 / Mini / Tablet
When I got myself an iPad, I quickly acquired a Tom Bihn Ristretto should bag in which to carry it. I love my Tom Bihn bag; it’s got a nice padded place for my pad, lots of pockets, a well-designed strap, and plenty of other accouterments. But as much as I like it, it has [...]
Free Webinar on Using Smith Micro Anime Studio Pro 9 to Create Custom Facial Rigs by Designer Vern Zehr
Considering that I am your classic, hard-core, lifelong, nerd-brand nerd, working in a nerd industry (high-tech, in the Cloud division at HP) for a couple of decades now, married to a woman who is also working in high-tech, one might think that my kids would be interested in that world, right? WRONG! They are only [...]
Tesla Motors Fights to Sell and Service EVs in Texas
For the most part, I really love living in Austin. Like most university towns it is quirky and odd, and has the added spice that comes with being a state capital (for a state that, population-wise, is the second-biggest in the country). There’s an abundance of things to do, incredible live music, South by Southwest [...]
Recall Notice on Buckyballs and Buckycubes Issued by U.S. Government
I joke around a lot with you all, but one thing I’m always dead serious about is government warnings, especially those with regard to safety for toys that can hurt your kids. So in that vein, let me give you the unadulterated news on this item: The CPSC has announced a voluntary recall of all [...]
Kids iPad Drawing Easel Now Available
When my kids were wee ones, one of the things we got them was a drawing easel. They had easels with white boards, chalk boards, places to clip your drawing pads, cork boards for pinning up art, and all kinda other variations. But we’re living in a tablet age, where a lot of kids want [...]
