Category Archives: gadgetsThis is the first time in a long time this list has been so short. I have not been in the blogging groove as of late, and when I’ve been in that groove, it’s been really late at night. I’ve had far too many nights where I’ve ended up in bed at nearly 3am. […]
I got an email from Comcast recently that had a lot of crap I could care less about. However, there was a small little blurb that did catch my attention:
As a Comcast High-Speed Internet customer, you’re entitled to receive a wide range of benefits and services at no additional charge. One of these is called […]
If you’ve ever tried taking a cell phone picture in low-light conditions, you know how crappy they turn out. This example taken from a Nokia N73 last year shows you just how bad they can turn out. Notice the purple tint in the black areas?
The reason for this is simple: current cameras don’t see […]
If you celebrate Christmas, hope you got what you wanted, or at least what you needed. If you don’t celebrate, I hope you had a good time anyway. Was a pretty slow week, but that’s to be expected of the week between Christmas and New Years.
Here’s what I managed to write this past week:
Jajah Giving […]
A while ago, I had replaced a Linksys WRT54G with a Netgear switch and a D-Link DWL-G730AP. One day last week, this router stopped being able to get on the WDS mesh I have set up. This is despite the fact my wife’s computer, which is plugged into the downstairs end of the WDS mesh, […]
Rico Mossesgeld over at The Smart PDA points to a Roughly Drafted piece on how the iPhone is scaring the Symbian folks because in the Q3 results for North America, the iPhone kicked butt over everyone except for Blackberry. Daniel Dilger is quick to dismiss how Symbian presents the numbers in a worldwide fashion because […]
A few years ago, my wife and I bought an Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition pinball machine several years ago, shown here. (There’s just something about an electronic game that has a very physical element to it. It’s something today’s kids don’t entirely understand, given how rare pinball machines are these days. There used to […]
Seems like I’ve spent a lot of time writing blog posts this week. However, most of the posts I wrote this week are actually for this coming week on VoIP Weblog where I take on the year in VoIP over the course of several posts. These posts are more time-consuming to put together than I […]
While I’ve clearly had some sips of the Nokia cool-aid–comes with having worked there for as long as I have–I have to say, this latest announcement brings back memories of Tamagotchi. Because that’s what Creebies is: Tamagotchi on a Nokia phone.
Oh sure, unlike the original Tamagotchi games back in the mid 1990s, this will be […]
Well, so much for this list being shorter. That happens when you see topical gadgets and good cross-promotion opportunities.
Aside from The Mobile Technology Weblog being new to my weekly roundup, there’s also one new blog on the list this week I hadn’t talked about previously: Businesspundit. Creative Weblogging asked me to do a few posts […]
A few years ago, AT&T Wireless–back before it was purchased by Cingular and assimilated into AT&T–sold a device called the Ogo. The device was a huge flop, but it offered an interesting proposition: a data-only plan for under $20 a month, which included access to one IM service over SMS. Additional ones could be purchased […]
I suppose in a world where everyone has a mobile phone and no landlines, it may be desirable to have a fixed phone somewhere, yet continue to use the mobile phone network. In that case, you might want something like this: The FW-290 GSM Phone from Perfectone.
They appear to make both North American and worldwide […]
This will, hopefully, be the last time in a while that this list is so long. With the changes in my responsibilities with Creative Weblogging, I should be blogging a little less and promoting a little more. Maybe I can find the energy to do a post on my S60 Blog, which I haven’t blogged […]
I was talking to a co-worker about mobile phones the other day and she revealed something to me that I hadn’t considered: deaf people overwhelmingly have T-Mobile service and overwhelmingly use one of the various Sidekick models. What, you mean deaf people use mobile phones?
Why not? If your deaf, you might not be able […]
My relationship with Creative Weblogging has changed a bit. The long and the short of it that I will be doing a little less blogging and a bit more promoting of a few of their blogs.
I will continue to blog on VoIP Weblog as I have been. I will still blog on Gadgets Weblog, but […]
