Now that I’ve had a few months to actually use all this stuff, I’ve decided to go ahead and start reviewing some of the baby stuff we accumulated in preparation for little Reese to hit the scene. The first thing is the Angelcare AC1100 Video – Movement – Sound baby monitor. The system is quiteContinue reading “Angelcare AC1100 Baby Monitor Review”

Xbox Upgrade Is One Step Closer To The Future
I’m firmly convinced that when my daughter is old enough to play video games, I’ll hand her a controller and she’ll look back at me, baffled, asking ‘What’s this, Dad?’ The controller – with buttons and joysticks and the like, will be relegated to nostalgia, similar to Nintendo’s ‘Virtual Boy’ or the trackballs of yore.Continue reading “Xbox Upgrade Is One Step Closer To The Future”
Dating My Wife
Back in the fall of 2006 I met my wife – it’s a fun story, actually – we sort of met on MySpace, even though we went to high school together. I’ll only tell the full version of it in person, so you’ll have to ask the next time we hang out. In any case,Continue reading “Dating My Wife”
The Convergence Of Print And Digital – Life Essentials Study Bible
With the rise of digital and increased portability of small displays with computers behind them, the print industry is looking at quite the bleak future. Indeed, while I do have a physical subscription to Wired magazine, the hard copy usually goes straight from the mailbox to the back of our toilet. By the time theContinue reading “The Convergence Of Print And Digital – Life Essentials Study Bible”
In The Driver’s Seat – #KloutChevySonic
I’ve already had to return the Chevy Sonic that I had on loan for a weekend through Klout, but I did manage to shoot another video of the interior of the car, this time with my 6-foot frame stuffed inside. The Chevy Sonic is definitely a compact car, but it was actually quite nice forContinue reading “In The Driver’s Seat – #KloutChevySonic”
On The Road: #KloutChevySonic
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of cruising through the great state of Texas with my wife, our child, our chocolate lab, and the new Chevy Sonic. I introduced you to the Chevy Sonic previously, so I wanted to give you a better idea of the size of this little car. For the trip (justContinue reading “On The Road: #KloutChevySonic”
Another 12 Months In The Can
I’ve turned 29 today – another 12 months in the can as I power on through the rest of my life. However, something was different this year. I received the first of many birthday cards from someone who had never given me one before – my daughter. I don’t normally keep cards that are givenContinue reading “Another 12 Months In The Can”
Camping With Others
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve been a huge fan of the outdoors. My family went camping multiple times per year, and while we didn’t exactly ‘rough it’ (we were usually at a State Park), it was still my favorite thing ever. Now that I’m a bit more grown up, I still loveContinue reading “Camping With Others”
Qik Keeps On Improving, Adds Premium Features To Android
When the whole notion of streaming live video from your phone to the Internet came around, there were basically two companies doing it – Flixwagon and Qik. Both got their start on Nokia’s Symbian-powered smartphones – in fact, I even live-streamed my wedding using Nokia N82s, the Nokia DT-22 tripod, and Flixwagon. Unfortunately, Flixwagon isContinue reading “Qik Keeps On Improving, Adds Premium Features To Android”
Tablets Struggle To Be Shared
Tablets are finally starting to take hold in the marketplace, mostly due to the fact that we’re finally using an upscaled mobile operating system, as opposed to trying to cram a desktop operating system on them, in my opinion. Either way, one of the biggest issues is that of multiple users. While most of myContinue reading “Tablets Struggle To Be Shared”
