So, what’s really impressing me about the iPhone app development community is the fact that there’s pretty much ANYTHING available should you have the notion. Of course, I love my Roku player for streaming Netflix. My son “relocated” the remote the other day. Thankfully, I had the 99 cent DVPRemote app. Simply put, the app…
Thanks to great games like Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports, our family game system stays pretty busy each day. Recently Netflix released the Wii Netflix player disc free of charge to customers. I, of course, use my Roku box often to view Netflix movies online, but they’ve done and even better job with the…
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…
Ok, so I LOVED Avatar. And, yes, it was in 3D. And, yes, that did enhance my depth of field a bit. But, even then, I think I would have enjoyed that movie in standard 2D. Enter “How to Train Your Dragon”. I saw it yesterday with my wife and my two older children in…
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…
Back in November, I wrote about Netflix streaming and the new (at that time) Roku box. Well, Alison took my hints and I recieved my shine (tiny) Roku box for Christmas this past December. Yeah, it’s all I wanted it to be. After 8 months with the device, I can say (IMHO) that it’s all it’s…
I recently had some issues with my Etymotic HF2 Earphones for my iPhone (LOVE them). I lost audio connection and ruled out my phone, so I sent them back to Etymotic for repair. No receipt, no questions, I have a shiney new pair righ here a week later (they replaced them). Just wanted to give…
Alison (my wife) always tells me I have an amazing way of talking myself out of purchases. Now, this mainly pertains to clothing (I’m in my standard jeans and t-shirt as I write this). However, when it comes to electronics and gadgets, I’m extra cautious – although you couldn’t tell by my gadget to clothing…
I had an old Pentium II 450 MHz desktop just sitting in the attic. I thought I’d fire it up and take a trip down memory lane to Windows 98. Well, all I got was a background image and it didn’t move on from there. So, I thought it was time for a clean start.…
Maggie (my almost 5 year old) is either blessed or cursed with a dad like me. I was so excited to see the new FP3 player from Fisher Price announced earlier this year, so I told Santa that Maggie just had to have it. I was not (I mean she was not) disappointed. As far…
