I think this is it
Posted in Cool Toys on Aug 14th, 2003
Those who read this site (or just those who dig through my archives) will know I’ve been trying to get a cell phone for about a year now.
I hardly ever need to talk on a phone, so I’ve been trying to find a phone that will let me do data. I think I would [...]
Sometimes I look at an Xtreme sport and I wonder why (I’m old like that). Other-times, I look at an Xtreme sport and I wonder how. Kite Surfing is definitely a major freaking HOW?!
I’m not even sure if the linked video is real. I just don’t see how it could be.
Why Can’t It Be Simple
Posted in Cool Toys on Jun 2nd, 2003
Last week I finally gave in to my inner urge and purchased one of those fancy new DVD/CD burners/margarita makers/pinatas. This thing does it all. Very cool. Soon I’ll be backing up all kinds of data and doing whatever cool stuff can be done with optical media.
Or at least THAT was the plan. I got [...]
P800? Well, Maybe Not
Posted in Cool Toys on May 30th, 2003
I thought that in the P800, I may have finally found the device that would get me past my luddite like aversion to all things cellular. I still don’t have a cell phone of any type. Looks like I may need to wait a bit longer. I’m sure that one day I’ll eventually find that [...]
Rain, Rain Go Away…

…You make my Bowflex too damn hard to use.
I got a Bowflex about 8 months ago. I used it for a few months, then promptly through my back out (the fault of my massage chair, not the Bowflex (I think)).
I started using it again in December. It works. I’ve seen some changes. I’ve added five [...]
Is This It?
Posted in Cool Toys on Feb 27th, 2003
Hmmm… Not sure yet, but the Sony Ericsson P800 may finally be the cell phone I’ve been looking for: 1, 2. Now, what’s the data plan going to cost?
Home Media Server
Posted in Cool Toys on Feb 1st, 2003
SlashDot is running a story claiming that DVDs degrade over time. I’m not sure how accurate the information is, but one person is suggesting that they have an expected life of 5 to 10 years. I always assumed that I’d eventually get sick of storing and grabbing discs whenever I needed to watch a movie. [...]
Personal Hovercraft
Posted in Cool Toys on Dec 27th, 2002
How do you take something as potentially cool as a personal hovercraft and make it seem so unbelievably lame? Quality Web Design my friends, quality web design. Check out the movies though. I’d get tired of it after about 7 minutes, but those would be some seriously fun 7 minutes.
Buying a Cell Phone
Posted in Cool Toys on Dec 7th, 2002
More than half of the people in the US currently have a cell phone (cite). Now here’s what I want to know — How the hell did they all decide which one to get?
Is there anybody out there who has a recommendation for somebody who will use practically no talk time, but may use [...]
