With all the hullabaloo about the second-gen iPhone 3G, and the insane amount of press coverage Apple is getting nowadays, I thought I’d release my own statement about why I could care less about the iPhone, along with a couple reasons why I’d love to have one. 10. Mobile Browsing & Location-Aware Apps are handy,…
How many remotes do you have?
I’m a BzzAgent, and as part of the BzzAgent program, I take part in word-of-mouth campaigns about products they send me to try and give my honest opinion on. The most recent one that I’ve enjoyed a lot is the Logitech Harmony One universal remote control. I have 3 remotes in the living room, not…
New Venture: ‘Tech Jaws’ Technology News Site
As I’ve been hinting at the last few days, and those of you following me on Twitter already know, I’m working with Frank J on a new tech news web site, Tech Jaws. It’s got an aggressive tone with a focus on the bleeding-edge of technology reviews, news, and tips. This morning I posted an…
Hotel Free Wi-Fi: Luxury or Standard?
This weekend I stayed in two different hotels, a Holiday Inn Express and Embassy Suites Hotel. The differences are staggering as far as the quality of your stay. The Holiday Inn Express is somewhere that strikes me as an economical solution if you are with a family or on a budget. It’s not a bad…

Hey everyone. Just a heads up – I received my Logitech Harmony One universal remote control – and it is completely awesome. The long and short of it is I like it a lot – it found devices no other universal remote has ever found for me before, and it even has provisional support for…
May Flowers Bring Sneezing Showers? Go Silk!
My mom loves to decorate her yard with plants and every so often has a professional landscaper come in and plant flowers and shape up the yard. When I was a kid, I had no allergies. The pollen didn’t bother me a bit. I didn’t wheeze, or cough, or feel nauseated when springtime rolled around.…
British Knights are Back!
The shoes that every kid used to nag his parents over when I was a child, British Knights (or BK) were discontinued, sometime shortly after the likes of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice put down the microphone in the ’90s. I don’t know the exact date or time, but they seemed to fade out in…
Do Auto Service Like a Pro Mechanic
I know a lot of guys that are either really into car maintenance and service, or at least wish they were. It’s something manly I think to be able to work on your car for most small things – it saves money and you don’t have to feel sheepish or like you’re getting screwed at…
Put Your Ugly Mug on Anything
That’s right. You can put your ugly mug on anything, even an ugly mug! Or a t-shirt, or a mouse pad [Note: despite popular opinion, mouse pads are not feminine protection for mice], or a calendar, or just about anything else that can be printed on. What’s even better is you don’t have to sacrifice…
What Tech Are You Packing?
Every tried-and-true geek has their own particular “rig” or powerhouse machine of which they’re proud. While I recently sold my Mac Mini for some spare cash and am currently “rigless,” I’ve had some pretty sweet setups in the past. Since I don’t have my own, I’ll go ahead and give the low-down on the specs…
