Epson Home Cinema 2040 Review
Review of the Epson Home Cinema 2040 at time of purchase and 3 months later.
Chromebooks are pretty awesome . . .
So, my daughter’s 13th birthday was last week (that’s a huge story in itself). She really wanted to use her money for a laptop. Of course, a “decent” laptop on Windows (even more so, Mac) was a bit cost prohibitive, given her money. She likes the HP Stream laptop her grandmother has, but the reviews…
My Mac Switch: One Year Later
Wow, feels like I’ve actually waited a year to even post (yep, sure did)! Whew! Actually, I have a lazy Friday evening, so I thought I’d jot some stuff down. For years, I said I’d never do it . . . there was no use for Mac and Windows was the king (percentage wise by…
KRK Rokit 5 G2 Quick Review
So, I work in front of a computer most all day throughout the week (yep, Gunnar glasses review coming soon!). I absolutely love Pandora, Spotify, Slacker Radio, etc. to listen while I work and, for a time, got by on my cheapo Creative 2.1 speaker setup. It served it’s purpose, and to be honest, I…
Powerline Networking Review (Homeplug AV)
OK, it’s time to give a quick review on something that’s saved my sanity. I’ll preface this by saying when we built our house almost 8 years ago, I made a bone-headed decision not to wire it properly for a network. Well, now we are a cable free, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon only family and I’m finding that…
HP Envy 17 3D Review
FYI – Get a great deal on it here. Well, I went and did it . . . a hard drive crash on my old faithful Thinkpad put me over the edge for something new. I’d been eyeballing the Envy 17 for quite some time for it’s great reviews of screen quality, processor and overall…
iPhone Won’t Sync Properly with iTunes
OK, here’s a quick tip for you iPhoners out there. Recently, I’ve been running into the trouble of the phone (iPhone 4) hanging when it syncs with iTunes. Many times, there’ll be a 583iurw984r.m4v type notation and the system freezes. I searched far and wide to no avail and finally did the last-but-shout-be-first-resort option of…
iPhone 4 Review (well, a start)
It only takes 6 months without WiFi on your iPhone to realize what a fantastic feature it is . . . no matter what phone you have! Well, I finally received my iPhone 4 today. I was one of those skip-a-generation-and-let-your-wife-get-the-iPhoneS kind of people. Man, am I glad I waited. For an iPhone 3G user,…
iPhone 4
OK, I don’t have much time, but here are some things I’m really excited about with the upcoming iPhone 4: Facetime video chat – I’m not sure how much I’ll use it, but a really cool feature I’ve wanted since forever! A4 chip – they say this dude’s a hair faster than the 3GS, but…
Kodak Zi8
I’ve been reading previews and reviews of the new “pocket” cameras from Flip and Kodak, etc. for the past few months. Luckily, there’s something called the Mother/Father-in-law gift fund, so I took the plunge with the Kodak Zi8. At the current pace of HD cameras, I just couldn’t justify the $1,000 price for a great…
