Canon Rebel XSi – Day One

28-Nov-08

Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Black Friday! So today I finally took the plunge and upgraded from my Sony Cybershot DSC-W5. I still have the Sony, and I still love it, but I simply outgrew it. I needed to get out of the point-and-shoot cameras and into an SLR.
Enter the Canon Rebel XSi. [...]

Apple’s iPod Replacement Program

18-Jan-07

So the other day, Saturday to be exact, I broke my beautiful black iPod Nano. How? Well I guess I just have good luck. I threw my Nano in my pocket as usual and went to hop in the car. As I was getting into the car though, I managed to [...]

Apple iPhone: The Best Device I’ll Never Own

10-Jan-07

So Macworld is over and Apple, as expected, released their much anticipated iPhone; a cell phone, web browser, photo viewer, touch-screen PDA, iPod and computer all-in-wonder machine. It’s nice! And it looks even better (from the pictures I’ve seen). However, as good as the device seems, I do not foresee myself getting [...]

Microsoft Zune (aka iPod Killer)

14-Nov-06

So the Microsoft Zune was released today. If you are unaware of what the Zune is, it is Microsoft’s supposed “iPod killer.” Well, all day long the tech sphere has been filled with posts blasting Zune, its software, and its pricing structure. And from what I have read about the device so [...]

Xbox vs. iTunes: The Imaginary Battle

09-Nov-06

So in the past few days there has been a ton of information about Microsoft’s new media venture; movies and TV via the Xbox 360. When I heard the news that Microsoft was venturing into movies and television with their Xbox I was not the least bit surprised. In fact, I was expecting [...]

Residents Leave Landlines Behind

18-Oct-06

According to a Seattle Times article, 13% of the people living in the Seattle area do not have landlines in their home. When I read that, I was a bit shocked. I know a lot of people still have their landlines, but I figured the number would be much higher as most people [...]

Much About Less

17-Oct-06

Right around the time I purchased my Macbook, and even today, many people were speculating on when Apple would upgrade their Macbook and Macbook Pro lines. Currently, both notebook models come packed with a Core Duo processor and many people think that Apple will soon start selling them with Core 2 Duo processors. [...]

Going Windows-less

18-Sep-06

As of a few days ago I have made the jump, err switch, to the OS X platform. I have been considering it for awhile now, but just recently decided that the time had come to make it happen. And while there is definitely a bit of a learning curve involved in switching [...]

Xbox 360 Purchase / Impressions

29-Aug-06

I got an Xbox 360 (finally). I have been talking about buying one since they were released a few months ago, and I finally stopped talking about it and purchased one. Needless to say, this blog may not be updated frequently in the next few months while I happily waste away a few [...]

Goodbye Cingular / Hello Sprint

29-Jun-06

As of June 16th, I am officially no longer a Cingular customer. It is slightly sad, as I have been with Cingular since they began operation in Washington state. I do not remember when that was, but I remember T-Mobile was still called Voicestream. Now that was a long time ago.
I did [...]
