I’ve been interested in Eye-Fi since Adam Tow told me about them a few years back. I finally received a camera that accepts SD cards in December, so I took the plunge and got the Share version of the card. I didn’t fully understand how it worked at the time – it’s a bit more…

I was planning to skip the BlackBerry Bold and wait for the Javelin (the updated Curve), but decided to go ahead and get the Bold for a variety of reasons: I wanted 3G I wanted a faster processor for JavaScript, etc. in the browser I played with it a bit and found the keyboard wasn’t…

I found CustomInk.com through a search when I was looking for a lpace to get some Crowd Favorite t-shirts printed. I liked the ability to choose the t-shirt type and the fact they accepted vector graphics so I decided to do a test run with a small order. I placed my first order on a…

I’ve had a rather bumpy relationship with SpanningSync, and as a result several friends have recommended I try BusySync 2.0 beta. I’m very glad they did. BusySync works differently than SpanningSync. Instead of a service, it works directly with Google Calendar with no intermediary service. It does not suffer from any of the issues I…

I got a portable TomTom GPS unit last winter – first time I’ve had one. It’s of moderate use around town from time to time, but I’ve found that it’s real value is when I’m on the road. I first brought it with me on a quick trip to LA last month, then again last…

I took the MacBook Air with me to Ohio when I spent a few days with the ShareThis team this week. I actually almost brought my MacBook Pro1 because I thought there was a chance I’d be needing to do some Photoshop work while I was there, but I’m glad I brought the Air instead.…

I really wanted to like Spanning Sync, I bought a lifetime copy and tried it for over a month. However, I’d had to give it up and go back to my old solution: subscribing to my Google Calendars in iCal. Here are the reasons I’m turning Spanning Sync off (for now): It would somehow decide…

I got a pair of these “beauties” to use as house slippers. Love ’em.

When I first saw Skitch, I have to admit I really didn’t get it. For some reason, it just didn’t resonate with me and I didn’t see a real need/use for it. I think part of the reason is the consumer oriented web site, packaging, etc. – marking up photos and sending them to friends…

Better than Ocean’s Twelve. Not as good as Ocean’s Eleven. Pacino made Garcia seem like small potatos (and Gruber was right).

I was initially critical of Spanning Sync1. I still think this would be better as an application than a service, but I’m also a pragmatist and since their pricing is reasonable I decided to give it a shot. Note: Make sure you get the latest version if you are running Leopard. I’ve been using Spanning…

Having an EVDO card is one of those “once you have one, you can never go back” sort of things. A normal EVDO card is great when you’re out around town and/or traveling alone, but if you’re with a group1 it can be a bit of a pain to try to share the connection. Also,…

Recent travels have had me in a few different rental cars. My reviews: Chrysler Crossfire – topless fun Dodge Nitro – underpowered unresponsive Jeep Liberty – surprisingly satisfactory Share your two word reviews in the comments.

I finally watched Finding Neverland last night. Fantastic movie, Johnny Depp quite deserved his Acadamy Award nomination. Interestingly, I think this is a movie I’d never have actually seen if it weren’t for Netflix. I’d heard great reviews of it from several people, but for some reason it just wasn’t clicking with me and I…

My gear lust finally drove me away from high-bandwidth happiness in a somewhat clunky 8703e with Sprint to a nice sleek BlackBerry Curve and AT&T service. The Curve is slightly thicker than the iPhone and a good bit shorter. It’s more narrow and thinner than the 8703e. The size difference to the 8703e is smaller…
