Tsunami Support
Wednesday, 29 December 2004 1:00 P GMT-05
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but if any off-topic subject deserves posting, it's this one. The recent Tsunami that caused such devistation and loss of life in South Asia may not effect many of us directly, but the images and the mounting death

Blog Explosion (with Karate?)
Monday, 20 December 2004 1:13 P GMT-05
In my relentless attempt to take over the world (as Dawn and Drew would say), I've started looking at this interesting Blogging tool called Blog Explosion. After signing up, you surf other people's blogs and for each blog you can rate it on a scale

A Battle Call to Treo Hardware Hackers
Saturday, 18 December 2004 10:28 A GMT-05
Ok, guys, you were able to do the "impossible" and set up a way to receive wifi on the Treo 650. My big question now is, if this was possible, why not memory? The other big complaint we've had as far as the Treo 650 is concerned is it's

How Sweet It Is!
Friday, 17 December 2004 12:30 P GMT-05
I've always been more of a "salt" person than a sugar person, but given the right sweets, I'll suck deserts down with the best of them. This can be problematic if you're watching your weight, or simply trying to avoid huge swings in insul

Blogging Whore
Thursday, 16 December 2004 3:16 P GMT-05
In the spirit of the season, I thought I, like other non-profits, would ask for your support before the year ends. Ok, well, maybe a donation to help me buy a new gadget once in a while (I know this is VERY wishful thinking!) so I can review it for y
I'm in the New York Times!

I always knew I'd be famous! Ok, well, it's a start! Mozilla, as part of their promotional effort, asked for donations so that they could post a full-page ad in the New York Times. They got much more than they expected and so were able to post a t

Gmail Invites
Thursday, 16 December 2004 1:49 P GMT-05
I've been holding onto these 6 Gmail invites for quite a while now, offering them to friends every once in a while, but no one has seemed really interested, so I thought I would just offer them up as freebies here on the blog. Click on the link to e

Wifi for the Treo 650
Thursday, 16 December 2004 12:27 P GMT-05
The tech blogs and Treo sites are abuzz today with the news from a TreoCentral member Shadowmite (the same guy who was able to defeat the Sprint Bluetooth crippling) that he had been able to create a firmware hack (hosted here) on the Treo 650 that w

Browser Share
Wednesday, 15 December 2004 3:36 P GMT-05
My friend Eric at Off Wing mentions that he is getting more hits from Firefox. I’ve mentioned how much I love Firefox but hadn’t bothered to check my logs. So just now I went and, holy cow, 21.5% of my hits are coming from Firefox! Anoth

The Problem with Smartphones
Wednesday, 15 December 2004 1:15 P GMT-05
A thought occurred to me on my way to work today listening to an Engadget podcast where Phil was reporting from Mobius. The problem I see currently with smartphones is that they can be held hostage by the carrier. They have a lot of functionality

Local Channels
Wednesday, 15 December 2004 1:05 P GMT-05
While I’m generally not a huge fan of network TV these days, there are a few shows I still enjoy watching, and lots of sporting events still are aired on local channels, local news, etc. In the spring when we moved into our new house, we bought a

We's been had!
Tuesday, 14 December 2004 2:36 P GMT-05
Yesterday I wrote about the 2004 Weblog awards. There's been some noise recently about this being organized by a conservative weblog WizBang. In an of itself this is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it just so happens that almost every si

2004 Weblog Awards
Monday, 13 December 2004 10:20 A GMT-05
Having only stumbled upon blogging less than two years ago, even then the number of blogs was overwhelming and so I picked and chose what I read carefully. My other two associated problems of being a slow reader and having a compulsion to keep up t

Walmart’s Family Values get Tested
Monday, 13 December 2004 9:28 A GMT-05
I'm no fan of Walmart, so I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact they are being sued for “damages” for everyone who bought "Anywhere But Home" by Evescence without a parents advisory label even though it contains the F-word in one of
Ed Wood Review
Monday, 13 December 2004 1:53 A GMT-05
As some of you know, I also run a dvd review site called DVDMon.com. I review dvd’s on the site along with some other reviewers and I just posted a review of Ed Wood. It’s a great movie and the DVD has a great commentary track, so if you are an

Fishy Fishy Fishy
Friday, 10 December 2004 3:48 P GMT-05
I’ve been doing a bit of research lately on fish and thought I’d share some insights. Fish is a great source of protein and it’s one of the few foods that almost all people will agree is good for you – except some vegan extremists – with

Broadvoice Comes Through
Thursday, 9 December 2004 1:34 P GMT-05
Back in April when we were about to move into our new home, I started researching Voice Over IP (VOIP) services. There’s never a better time to do this when you are moving to a new location and will have to order a bunch of services like phone, i

Christmas Lights and Cell Phones
Thursday, 9 December 2004 9:20 A GMT-05
Engadget has a piece about inferior Christmas lights causing interference that may be effect DSL connections. While I haven’t been having problems with my DSL connection, my Treo 600 cell phone seems to be having issues when I’m at home this we

Launchcast Radio
Wednesday, 8 December 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Yesterday I wrote about my last week in radio-synchronicity-nirvana-Zen-whatever. The whole thing was really prompted by Meredith’s post about Yahoo’s Launchcast Radio, which I’ve become quite fond of. Being new to internet radio, its capabilit

News Indexes for the News-Obsessed
Wednesday, 8 December 2004 12:53 P GMT-05
There is a huge glut of information out there today. Not only do we have the standard news feeds from the news giants like AP, Reuters, CNN, etc., but there are countless web-centric news outlets and of course the millions of blogs that provide RSS

Internet Radio for the Uninitiated
Tuesday, 7 December 2004 11:59 A GMT-05
As you probably know by now, I’m a big fan of “gadgets.” When I picture a “gadget” I get the image of some kind of portable device that utilizes technology. I think the first “gadget” that was commonly used was the portable transist

Search Engines in Firefox
Friday, 3 December 2004 3:04 P GMT-05
I’ve been using Firefox for a while now and played with a bunch of the extension – I have a list here of the ones I like. Another feature that FF has is an integrated text field for searching for something on various sites. So instead of havi

Luminous Landscapes just did a review of the Epson P-2000 Picture Viewer and it seems to be a real winner. I’ve been covering the P-2000 since we first started hearing about it a couple months back because it’s been one of those devices that

More Thoughts about the Treo 650
Wednesday, 1 December 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Last week I wrote about the Treo 650 Memory Debacle and wanted to post some further thoughts. Andrew over at Treonaughts has been getting indignant about the issue, as have many of his readers and those on Treocentral and myTreo.net. Palm came ou
