After I got the Quarter-Moon bag, I started carrying my Treo in the bag instead of on my belt. I didn’t want it to get damaged, so I looked around for the first time at the various play-through cases available. I ended up buying the Covertec case. The good: The styling and fit (see below)…

I got an Overland Equipment Quarter Moon bag (olive/sage) for Christmas, and it’s proven to be the best gear bag I’ve had so far. It can happily hold my digital camera, iPod, GameBoy, Treo and keyboard, wallet, keys, gloves, sunglasses, etc. and still feel pretty compact. As an added bonus, the Dell 700m just fits…

While at Lowes, I happened across this clock – close enough. 🙂 It seems to work well so far. Maybe not as nice looking as this one, but it works. I picked up one of these too on a whim. I was pleased to find that it can share the same outside sensor.

Eric was kind enough to send me a Belkin Bluetooth adapter (first one, w/ flag antenna) that he was no longer using, and I managed to get it working with the Dell 700m. While installing the drivers, I had to click ‘Continue Installation’ 20 times against the advice of the Windows prompts that kept warning…

I’m not a gamer , never have been1. The only game(s) on any of my computers are what comes from the manufacturer. However, I got a GameBoy Advance SP for Christmas (I put it on my list) and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been very impressed with the GameBoy unit itself. Great battery life, simple…

The screen is very nice – maybe not quite Sony XBRITE good (I’ll be able to compare direcly in a month or so) but still very good. Hoever, after using it all day yesterday, my eyes were tired and my shoulders and hands felt a bit hunched and uncomfortable. I somewhat expected this – when…

Notes as I unpack the Dell 700m and get it set up: Both Dell and Crucial ship via UPS, so both packages arrived at the same time – serendipty. Why don’t PC companies use nice pretty packaging like Apple? It can’t cost that much more and it sure adds to the initial experience. Klear Screen…

On a whim, I replaced my old mouse pad with a big old Wow!Pad last week. I’m pleased with it so far. For some reason it didn’t work at all with my Pocket Mouse when I tried it on the road (probably dying batteries), but it’s working like a champ with the Pilot Mouse. My…

After I discovered the joy of Bluetooth last week, I started looking for ways that I could take advantage of it’s capabilities. My ideal scenario would be to have Bluetooth in my Treo and be able to sync over Bluetooth with my PowerBook and also use the Treo as a modem for those times when…

When I got an e-mail from the producer of Bushisms offering me a chance to review the new Bushisms DVD, a big grin spread across my face. Regardless of your politics, our current President has certainly had some funny moments at the microphone. I’d only glanced through the Bushism books previously so I wasn’t exactly…

I’m writing this on the Treo 600 Portable Keyboard I got last week. The Treo’s built-in keyboard is great for quick responses and such (much better than graffiti), but there is no substitute for a touch-type-able keyboard. I had one of the original Palm V folding keyboards several years ago and used it to keep…

I finally pulled the trigger on buying a good universal remote. I got the Harmony H659 and I’m quite pleased with it. To set it up, you log into the Harmony Remote web site, tell it which components you have, then download a configuration file which is uploaded to the remote via a USB cable.…

The Handspring Treo is a great tool. It is the best PDA I’ve used hands down, a list that includes 2 Newtons and 4 other Palm devices. On this page, I’ve listed some of the things that I’ve done to make the Treo a more useful tool for me. General Tips To find the person…

One Man’s Quest for a Decent Tripod There are a lot of tripods out there! I had a difficult time choosing one, and I didn’t find as much help on-line as I thought I would. I’m fairly new to photography, so take my advice with a healthy helping of salt. This is the process I…
