Yesterday I was picking up the parts for a PC I was building for a friend, and while I was at the store I picked up a new 250GB Samsung HDD to slip in my now empty Maxtor case. It looks just like any other external 3.5″ enclosure inside so no problems right? Well I [...]

A New Case
I went to my computer dealer the other day to pick up a $10 CF Card to PCMCIA adaptor and left $300 later. This happens quite often; sometimes I just can’t help myself. I had been thinking about a new case for my PC for quite some time. When I upgraded my motherboard and processor [...]
The Seidio Treo 700 Battery Comparison
Like many other Palm Treo owners who are trying to get through the day without constantly recharging, I found that the stock 1800mAh battery was not lasting nearly as long as I needed. The first solution I tried was the Seidio 2400mAh extended battery ($39.95), which helped a lot during regular daily usage. But once I got a hosted exchange account – [...]
Syncing Windows Mobile with Outlook on a Mac
My Treo is my calendar, my address book, my notes, my task list. I have no interest in having my PIM data on my laptop, I just don’t like to access it that way. Therefore with all the changes being made on my Treo, I don’t sync with any regularity. Since switching to Mac, irregular [...]
My Maxtor Madness
Over the years I have had several external hard drives. My more recent ones are regular HDDs in USB/Firewire cases, but the first two that I bought were from Maxtor’s line of external HDDs. The first drive I bought was a 160GB 5000DV. That was back when they were made out of a blue plastic [...]
My Adventures in Vista, part 2
A little over a month ago, I noticed that there were these odd rainbow colored streaks showing up on some of my review pictures, and I couldn’t figure out why! Everything was otherwise working perfectly on my T4215, which I had recently updated to Vista Ultimate and had basically configured to perfection.
Alarm Annoyance on Windows Mobile
This morning I almost missed my train because my alarm didn’t wake me up. But why? I had the alarm set, and I didn’t have my Treo on silent, so why did I wake up just in time to throw on clothes and run out the door? For some reason Windows Mobile relates the alarm [...]
The Treo 750 vs. HTC Hermes
Recently my dad�s company bought several of their employees Dopod 838 Pro mobile phones (based on Judie�s review actually ). His device arrived at the office a few days ago, but he is in Vietnam for work, so one of his colleagues dropped it off. For the last 3 days I have been using it [...]
My Cheap 4GB USB Flash Drive
When browsing the website of the company that I bought my cheap PC from (ITEstate), I came across their USB drives. I couldn’t believe the prices they had on these things!! 1GB for AU$15, 4GB for $44 and 8GB for a crazy $99!! I decided to pick one up, as with my Mac I am [...]
eBooks and eReaders–a Short Overview
Soon I will be lucky enough to review Sony’s Reader, an eBook reader by Sony.� But before I do and give y’all a review, I thought it might be nice to give folks a brief overview of eBooks, both on devoted devices and PDAs. I’ve been in the online documentation game for a long time.� [...]
Unboxing the Canon Digital Rebel XTi / 400D
I’ve never owned a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera before, and it took much cajoling, prompting, begging, and bribing (mostly with promised gift purchases of guides and field reference cards) before I finally took the plunge and bought a Canon Rebel XTi. See, I’ve been using a Casio EX-Z1000, and while I like the camera [...]
Upgrading to a Palm Treo 680
I’ve been a pretty satisfied user of Palm PDA’s over the years and have bounced around different brands such as the innovative Sony Clie models and especially the Tapwave Zodiac for the half-VGA (480 x 320) screen for eBook reading and the generous memory of 128MB and two SD card slots. I’ve always subscribed to [...]
My Experience With Tablet PC Biometrics…So Far, Anyway
One of the features that I’ve been enjoying on my new Fujitsu T4215 Tablet PC is the biometric scanner, and what’s funny is that it wasn’t something I even planned on using. I don’t need no stinkin’ finger scanner! Yeah right… The fact of the matter is that any time I bring my laptop along [...]
The Fujitsu T4215 Tablet PC Overview
My purpose here is not so much a review, but some thoughts and observations on what I really like about my new 4215 and what I don’t like. These are the things that as a new Tablet PC owner jumped out at me right away. I would like to begin by explaining how I came [...]
Don’t Let Me Forget to Tell You About…
Things have been absolutely crazy here at my house for the last couple of months. Between the excitement (and crazy hours) of starting Gear Diary and keeping up with contacts I’ve made over the years, I have also been doing two other things that are very near and dear to my heart – running my [...]
