(That’s what she said.)
So no one needs me to recap all of the WABC brouhaha that went down over the past few days. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, and now that the dust has settled, I could have relaxed, done nothing, and everything would have worked out just fine.
But last Friday, I was faced [...]

Just before Eli was born, our computer broke. Which was crappy timing, because once we brought the little guy home, we wanted to store and organize all of our new baby pictures and videos and such. The computer that died on us was a Sony Vaio that I had bought back in early 2004. Now [...]

YAY! I’m heading to Las Vegas (again) to hit the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, aka CES, aka The Gadget Geek’s Dream. I’ve always wanted to go to a CES, and I am extremely pumped. How pumped, you ask? Well on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning not at [...]

Hey, remember a month ago, when I asked all of my loyal and faithful readers to help me pick out a new mp3 player? Yeah, I figured you didn’t. Anyway, I went with the Archos 5, and it won out for three main reasons: it has a large hard drive capacity (I got the [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I am currently without an iPod. Well, my generous and kind missus has offered to buy me a new iPod, or other portable media player. So now, I have to decide which one I want, and I’m hoping you guys can help me.

DVD’s were great, but I think their time has come and gone. And no, I’m not talking about Blu-ray discs as the next big great thing either, because they have the main flaws of DVDs. Allow me to elaborate.
When VCR’s first invaded people’s homes, they were a revolution – not only could you [...]
