hp PRO Webcam 640 x 480 »
by Brigham B. We didn’t have a phone at home and didn’t want to pay to have one. The main reason we felt we needed another phone to leave at home in addition to our cell phones was that our babysitter stays at the house during the day. She needed some way to communicate with [...]
Tower 200 (Body by Jake) »
by Evan A. Being the workout enthusiast of the family, which is pretty easy to be considering the only real challenger I have is my brother, I like feeling the burn. The only real thing I had to work with at home was the Bowflex, which is a great thing in itself. The only thing [...]
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS »
by Glen A. I think I’ll get straight to the point on this Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. For what you pay, there are lower cost alternatives out there that will get you what you want. There has been a concerted effort over the last few years to produce a camera that has the ease and [...]
MiFi 2200 (Verizon Wireless) »
by Glen A. I wouldn’t call myself an early adopter of technology. I like to wait a few months at least before I run down and get the latest and greatest bit of technology. It generally pays off, too, as bugs in the system are inevitably discovered, despite all of the testing done prior to [...]
Eye-Fi 4GB wireless SDHC card »
by Glen A. There’s a huge fascination with photos now. That’s not to say that they weren’t important before. Family photos, pictures of trips and friends, have always been big. However, with online storage and sharing sites like Flickr and Photobucket, and now social sites like Facebook and MySpace, the number of photos being uploaded [...]
LG 60LD550 60″ 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV »
by Glen A. I finally did it. Call me foolish. I probably am. I went out and bought the biggest LG to date (for us, anyway), and while it replaces the old Sony rear projection HDTV we had, it wasn’t because the Sony was finally going on the fritz. Actually, far from it. I’ll explain. [...]
Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X993 CD-Receiver w/USB & Bluetooth »
by Glen A. I’d never bought a car stereo before. I’m not the typical driver, I guess. Accept for some talk radio during the day, I just don’t listen to much while I’m driving around, and I’m not really a commuter, so I’m not driving around that much. So, having a real good car stereo [...]
Jabra Halo Bluetooth Wireless Headset »
by Glen A. Last December, I reviewed on this site the Motrola S9HD Stereo Bluetooth Headset. At the time, the main issue I had with it was the fact that the iPhone, which I also have, did not support the A2DP codec. In the intervening time, that problem was solved by one of the iPhone [...]
Toyo Proxes 4 All Seasons Blackwall Tires »
by Glen A. If you’ve never driven a Mazda RX-8, you should at least try one. While it falls into the sports car category, the thing about the RX-8 is not the power (though it’ll get you going pretty quickly, just not at 60 mph in 4.0 speed), it’s the handling that will absolutely thrill [...]
LG 55″ 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV (LG 55LH90) »
by Glen A. Readers of this site, or at least the ones who like to look at televisions, will know I’ve become a fan of LG. LG is the company that makes parts and develops systems that are found in many of the LCD TVs today under different brand names. That was one of the [...]
Polk Audio In-Wall Speakers and Velodyne Microvee Bass »
by Glen A. Over the summer, we had another building built on our property. I moved my home office into the larger part of it, while the smaller part has become a storage area. The primary use of the home office is do my work for my primary business, and then working on posts for [...]
Comic book downloads through App Store »
by Glen A. In my postings about the iPhone, I’ve mentioned that I don’t use all of it’s functions. For the most part, it is a cell phone. I occasionally use maps, listen to music and surf the internet. Lately, however, I’ve been poking around the App Store more, almost exclusively among the selection of [...]
Apple iPhone 3G 8GB (Black) »
by Glen A. I wasn’t going to buy an Apple iPhone 3G. I was going to wait. For what I use it most for–phone calls, texting, some web surfing, perusing the app store here and there, listening to the few songs I do have on it and once in a while I take a gander [...]
Chamberlain Portable Wireless Intercom »
by Glen A. If you live in a house that’s larger than a one room hut, you’ve probably had the experience of raising your voice to try to locate someone in your house. I know I have. We have a two-story house, and inevitably I’m upstairs when I want to talk to someone downstairs. For [...]
Remote Start System »
by Glen A. Trying to come up with a gift for someone can be hard. Especially when that person insists that they don’t want or need anything. Now, when there’s no particular reason to say that–there’s money to do something within reason–it becomes even harder. Why are they saying that? What do they really mean [...]
Reebok 8000 ES treadmill »
by Glen A. For a while now, Angela has been wanting to get some kind of exercise machine. We’ve looked at stair climbers, stationary bikes, traditional and elliptical, and treadmills, but everything we looked at seemed overpriced, and the desire to buy something was overwhelmed by the reality of cost. The fact that the Bowflex [...]
Brother MFC-7840W Wireless Printer/FAX/Copier/Scanner »
by Glen A. I’m not one for buying multi-functioning electronic devices. I’m thinking primarily about those DVD/VCR machines, or DVD/TVs. Inevitably, one side or the other fails, and then you’re stuck with replacing it, or doing without. Not sure why it is, but such devices just don’t seem to last as long as their standalone [...]
Motorola S9HD Stereo Bluetooth Headset »
by Glen A. In my ongoing quest to unleash the full power of my iPhone (okay nothing quite that dramatic), my search for a wireless headset to answer calls and potentially listen to the songs on the iPod part of the iPhone took a turn for the better when a friend suggested I get the [...]
Turtle Beach Ear Force X4 5.1 surround sound wireless headphones »
by Glen A. In the spring, I wrote about the Tritton AX360 headphones I bought for playing video games and watching movies in 5.1 surround sound. Those headphones had good sound quality, but it was a wired set, and they were also pretty heavy sitting on my head, and my ears would get hot. It [...]
Philips Norelco 7145XL »
By Trevor A. This is my first take on an electric shaver. I’ve used a battery charged razor, such as the Mach Fusion razor from Gillette before, and liked it very much (I still use it once in a while). The Philips Norelco 7145XL, though, is a great shaving tool if you’re in a hurry [...]
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse »
by Glen A. If you’ve read my rant about wires, you’ll know that I’m looking forward to the day when they all vanish. While that day is still a ways off, there are some products out there that offer wireless alternatives. Some such products which have been on the market for some time now are [...]
Polk Audio RM6750B 5.1 surround sound speakers »
by Glen A. As I wrote in a previous post, I bought a Yamaha RX-V463 receiver. I needed speakers to go with it, and the Fry’s rep where I bought it suggested I check out the Polk Audio RM6750B 5.1 surround sound speakers they had marked down. I also mentioned the speaker set originally retailed [...]
Yamaha RX-V463 5.1 surround sound receiver »
by Glen A. When I bought our Sony 50-inch rear projection television, I also got a Panasonic surround sound system. It wasn’t that great, but it was what I could afford at the time. The Panasonic worked fine for about three years, then it started having issues with sound distortion and reading DVDs. I then [...]
Jawbone with Noise Assassin »
By Glen A. Since the iPhone came out, I’ve been looking around for a hands free solution for answering my phone while driving. As of this writing, there aren’t many devices made for the iPhone. One of those that I decided to try was the Jawbone with Noise Assassin. I bought this at the local [...]
37″ LG 1080p LCD HDTV »
by Glen A. Late last year, I wrote about a foray into television buying that brought home our first LCD TV, a 32″ 720p LCD HDTV by LG. It was the first television purchase in over six years, and might not have happened then if not for finding a way to have both cable internet [...]
