iPod Touch

My setup

I was asked a while ago about the gear I use around the office and at home. Here it is in the nutshell. I use a HP 6910p laptop running Windows Vista as my main machine now. I use it at home and at work and keep my files sync’d using Windows Live Mesh. I [...]

It’s Wendy again and I am pretty lucky as Jordon does all of the Christmas shopping in our family and over the years he has created some incredible gift guides for his website which have generated a loyal following.

I turned 37 today. Not much of a milestone but it was an enjoyable day. I fell asleep on the sofa last night so I woke up early to the family and a really sore neck. After some stretching and straining I got up and opened some presents. Mark gave me a 70-210mm Sigma lens [...]

On the 27th I went to Best Buy to take a look at DSLR’s on sale. I didn’t see any DSLRs but while I was there, I saw that Koodo had dropped their price on Blackberry Curves to $150 and no contract. I had thought about getting a LG Rumor 2 this year but after [...]

My friend Karen posted some thoughts on Twitter about ebooks and readers. Been thinking about how e-books/Ipad exclude poorer readers. Continued…. Folks with literacy/soc. justice concerns should keep zines/broadsheet etc. in mind. If medium is message, cost of readers excludes many. It would easy to dismiss Karen’s thoughts because of her history with paper but [...]

Wendy and I have become big fans of Ping! for the iPhone and iPod Touch. My Blackberry loving friends love their Blackberry Messenger which allows for free real time messenging between Blackberry devices. They love to taunt use Apple users with it. Sadly the iPhone and iPod Touch has nothing like it… until now when [...]

This is Wendy and this is what happens when Jordon doesn’t log out of his weblog and leaves me unattended. Since Jordon handles most of our Christmas shopping, I don’t have to spend as much time thinking about Christmas gifts as Jordon does. By far the hardest person to shop for on our Christmas list [...]

I have become a big fan of Dopplr over the last years. It’s a service that allows you to plan and share your trips online. It also does some fun things like track your personal velocity which as you can see, isn’t that impressive (Joi Ito’s personal velocity is that of a Whippet while Larry [...]
