There is an app for that

This phrase has come and gone.  It went from a hugely successful catchphrase to”duh, that’s so obvious” it goes without saying.  I think this was one of those really big shifts (notice I didn’t use the term pyridine shift because I don’t want to be considered one of those people).  It’s one of those changes […]

Let me tell you about small speakers

I love audio electronics and speakers are near the top of that list. I spent all of the very first money I earned to buy audio equipment. I had that equipment for over 20 years. I buy pretty good stuff, never the top of the line but it always sounds good. Of course you […]

Stove – there’s an app for that

 

This is what you get when you mix an Android phone with a stove and add 10 years. It’s a very cool concept. Most industries (with the exception of car companies) don’t go to the trouble and expense of producing concepts to show the general public. Electrolux is showing some leadership putting things like […]

TempHold is dead, long live TempHold

OK, this is too obscure for everyone except for 3 people. Let me explain. We have been vanguards in the digital lifestyle. Many years ago I shared a hard drive inside my desktop to gather files that we all wanted to access. About 4 years after tha I installed a media server (a HP Media […]

“Janie, it’s not you, it’s me. I just need more . . .air that’s why I am riding with Rachel”

These things just […]

I am going to show you something

If you have never lost your laptop power cord down behind your desk, or if your iPod cable has never disapeared into the twilight zone, or your USB cable has never done a mating dance with your phone charging cable then this post is not for you. Nothing to see here. I am surprised to […]

Flashaholics

Do you know one? Do you know what one is? Is it someone who can’t stop playing those addictive flash games some web site have (you know the ones that infect your computer at every turn)? Is it someone who walks around in a trench coat and opens it uncontrollably? No, it is none of […]

3D – How much you gonna spend?

In the consumer technology field today there is nothing with more buzz than 3D. This isn’t the first time. 3D movies have been around since the 1890s – that’s right 1890 with a 1-8 (sorry Avatar you are over 100 years late). In the 1950’s their popularity spiked again. we are all familiar with the […]

Best coffee mug EVER

 

I don’t know how much you know about photography, but you don’t have to be into it long before you figure out that there is the OK stuff, the good stuff and the stuff you want but can only justify in conjunction with some random gambling windfall.  Canon and Nikon pretty much own the […]
