I have a hate/love relationship with my iPhone. It does so many things right in a way that only Apple has been able to perfect. Easy to use and manage, consistent UI across all apps, and everything about it looks and feels good. And the apps . . . the term “app” has becoming synonymous [...]
Early this summer, I promised Jason Jacobs, the founder of FitnessKeeper (the creators of RunKeeper), that I would try RunKeeper for cycling. Well, it’s been a crazy summer and I just got around to it (sorry, Jason). When we spoke, Jason told me that the company’s focus today is on running, although they plan to [...]
I have been intrigued by VuDu for a while now and succumbed to my curiosity, picking up a VuDu Box a few weeks ago. For those unfamiliar, VuDu streams movies (and a few other online video services) over the net and into your home. Unlike some, VuDu doesn’t require a computer in the loop [...]
I hate myself for loving you, Can’t break free from the things that you do. I wanna walk but I run back to you That’s why I hate myself for lovin’ you.”

While video has been available in point-and-shoot cameras for some time, it’s been ignored in higher-end cameras – for some market reasons and for some functional ones.
Today, Google and T-Mobile will announce the T-Mobile G1, a new phone that runs Google’s mobile OS, Android. This is interesting news because it adds another competitor to the smartphone mix and competition is always good. The announcement is made even more interesting, IMO, because of Amazon’s introduction of over the air [...]
I suppose most people who don’t carry a big purse or briefcase have a place where they unload their pockets, holsters, belt clips, etc when they come into their home or change their clothes. For me, it’s usually at the bar – my first and almost always necessary stop when I’m wrapping up my day. [...]
Well, sorta . . . from an iPod Touch, actually. I really, really want to like the iPhone (the Touch is incredible, by the way), but the fact that the apps don’t talk to one another, Exchange is only partially integrated, and the virtual keyboard is not nearly as accurate as a physical one, [...]
As a cyclist, data junkie and all-around gadget guy, it doesn’t get much better than this. Some people think this cycling computer is overkill, but my guess is that they’re the same kinda people who haven’t yet moved from VHS to DVDs.
Like most cycling computers, the Edge 705 collects data on cadence and speed. It [...]
In the world of photography, I am a Canon guy. It’s not only that I like Canon photographic products, but I have a big investment in Canon lenses which makes it difficult (read: expensive) to change to cameras from other manufacturers. My current photographic weapon of choice is Canon’s 5D D-SLR (Digital Single Lens [...]
