iPod Lego Speakers

Coolest gadget for any ipod user and specially designed for the 4th generation of iPod touch users. As you can see this speakers has gotta be inspired by Lego. And at $42 each, pretty steep but can be a traveling comfort for those who travels a lot. I know a friend bought [...]

Mobile Mouse

Wireless mouse is the in thing in our store and the wife would love one of this when it comes out in August by Microsoft. The Mobile mouse 6000 was recently released in conjunction with a similar 5000 model. Both use BlueTrack and are comfortably sized without being too bulky to cart around. The [...]

WoW – Scroll of Resurrection

Thanks to the World of Warcraft Scroll of Resurrection I get to play free for 10 days, on my main account, to see if I find the game interesting enough again. If an account has been inactive for at least 90 days, it can be resurrected by someone with an active account. This [...]

My PC needs a boost

I installed Hellgate London again at work the other day since it was a pretty slow night. Within minutes I realized why I had uninstalled it in the first place, it’s a little choppy. Especially in ‘towns’. And if I have to alt-tab out to ring up a sale it takes forever [...]

Laptop

Both me and the wife have been considering getting rid of our clunky old desktops and replacing them with notebook computers instead. It would make sense for the wife more so than for me since she just uses it for internet, pictures and movies. We could sell of both her home and work [...]

Hellgate London

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how Hellgate London didn’t turn out as good as people had hoped. “It was fun for a while”, “I regret paying for a lifetime sub”, that sort of thing. Up until now I hadn’t even tried the game, being too busy with the 360 and not [...]

Saga

I’m up to level 7 now in Saga and the level 7 quests I have access to are starting to kick my ass. I chose the ‘War’ nation which is populated mostly by orcs. Now I don’t know what the best wrinkle cream on the market is these days, but damn if these [...]

Gaming on Multiple Computers

I mostly game at home on my xbox 360, lately anyway, I used to be mostly into PC games but for the last few months I haven’t found much that I felt like playing. I did start playing Saga recently though, and since the requirements aren’t super high I copied it onto my flash [...]

LiveViewGPS

It’s one thing to be able to use a GPS to see where something has been, but it’s even cooler to be able to tell where something is. Right now. In real time. There are so many uses for a live gps tracking system in today’s world. Find your stolen car, [...]

Discount Cables

Cables cost a fortune, typically, it’s one of the few items that electronics stores actually make good money on. My last trip through Staples in search of an HDMI cable would have set me back $80, but I know that’s retarded so I hit up the smaller computer stores instead and picked one up [...]

Websites

Lately I’ve been turning a lot of the websites I own into blogs. They’re easy to update this way and information can be sorted into categories or by tags, and entire blogs are very easy to search through. Changing the entire look is simply a matter of downloading a new theme and in [...]

Grrr… Server downtime

As some people may have noticed, this site (and my subdomains) have been rather flaky lately, especially during the last few days. Emails with tech support have turned up very little useful info as to what’s causing the problem or a good long term solution. I’m getting rather fed up with it and [...]

Shooters on Consoles

During a late night gaming session earlier this week a buddy of mine was showing me the latest in the Call of Duty franchise. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the XBox 360 looks amazing. I’m probably one of the last to experience this since the game has been out for a [...]

AVG Version 8 now Available

I’ve been using the free version 7.5 of AVG for quite some time now, it works well and doesn’t get in the way. So many scanners I’ve tested in the past were just horrible. They’d hog resources, slow the computer down and constantly annoy me with popups asking if this or that is [...]
