I admit it, I’ve really been hemming and hawing over the decision on what my next cell phone should be. The iPhone 4S? The new RAZR? The long-delayed Galaxy Nexus? As a Google lover, should I go for the pure ICS experience? Do I care about the bragging rights of [...]

Two weeks after I wrote about my mental anguish over getting the iPhone 4S, I still have not purchased a new cell phone, and my decision just got more complicated – and more urgent. Yesterday, my phone died and refused to turn back on for ten minutes or so, even while plugged in [...]

I hate my cell phone. Its the original Motorola Droid that came out two years ago, and it is the first smartphone I’ve ever had. I loved it at first, and there are still features that I think are very cool: the seamless integration with my Google calendar and contacts, the easy to use GPS [...]

I know this isn’t what Fat Tuesday is really about, so forgive the pun. But…
It is no secret that in the years since I ran the marathon, I haven’t exactly been keeping up with my physical fitness regimen. I tried to keep myself in decent shape for the wedding, but after that, things definitely slipped. [...]

One of my resolutions for 2011 was to read a book for fun. (Yeah, just one; I like to set the bar low with my resolutions, so worst case I can always do it on December 31 at the last minute.)
The most likely place for me to read is on my commute. But lately I’ve [...]

Well, should I?
I’m not *always* an early adopter. I’ve so far managed to resist the temptation of the Verizon iPhone, believing it makes sense to wait until the 4G model. But when it comes to Nintendo, I tend to like to get my gear early. Mehler and I (mostly just me) camped out for 30 [...]

Anyone know anything about snow throwers? Not a snow blower, but at thrower. Someone recommended them – they’re cheaper than blowers, and they run on electricity, which is nice. They don’t appear to be super heavy duty, but any help in this winter of snowmageddons/snowpocalypses (snowpocalypsi?) would definitely be a plus. This one has decent [...]

As everyone on Earth already knows, the long wait is finally almost over – the iPhone is finally coming to Verizon!
Now all of us loyal Verizon customers (people who enjoy using their cell phones to occasionally make and receive phone calls) can now at long last get the must-have gizmo phone. Hooray!

This isn’t the first post on this blog about some amazing new Star Wars merchandising, nor will it be the last. But this. Is. Awesome.
Now you can have Yoda, Darth Vader, or C3PO (and in a few months, Han Solo too!) give you turn by turn directions on your TomTom GPS device. I can no [...]

Most of the time, I drive the Pontiac, and Courtney drives the Toyota. For a while there I actually stopped carrying around the Toyota keys, because I really only used them on the weekends, but that became a pain because I would forget them when I wanted them. So now I carry the Toyota keys [...]
