Leatherman Skeletool
Posted in Cool Toys on Sep 6th, 2007
Dang, that’s an interesting looking knife. Too bad it’s not available until November. Hey, my birthday is in November. I think that 2 + 2 might just equal the Leatherman Skeletool.
NEXTO CF Ultra
Posted in Cool Toys on Dec 22nd, 2006
Ooooooh! I want it! I got a few 2 GB memory cards for Christmas (thank you Auntie Santa), but even those huge capacity cards are tiny compared to the size of each image that my XTi takes when set to RAW + JPEG. I looked into some of those iPod adaptors, but they don’t look [...]
Why Does TiVo Hate Their Customers
Posted in Cool Toys on Sep 13th, 2005
Disturbing Report of upcoming TiVo DRM that will prevent you from saving or transferring shows. If this becomes even the slightest of inconveniences for me, I will no longer be a TiVo subscriber.

Dear Santa
Posted in Cool Toys on Dec 5th, 2003
Dear Santa All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. But, since I’ve seen Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I’m not sure that I’d trust Hermey, your only (?) Elf Dentist, some of this stuff might be nice as well: Stuff for my New Camera: A small/lightweight and collapsible tripod. I will probably [...]
Oh, No, Wait…….. Damn!
Posted in Cool Toys on Nov 28th, 2003
I dropped my camera on Thanksgiving. It turns out expensive cameras don’t stand up to physical abuse as well as I might have expected. I look down and I see pieces. My heart breaks. Then I realize the pieces are just the camera and the battery which popped out. For a moment, I had hope. [...]
