Suunto Core Wristop Computer – a review

On a scale of 1 to 10, this watch is orange.     And it’s bitchin’.
I bought a Suunto Core watch, in orange.  I like climbing, and being in the mountains, so a watch with an altimeter makes at least some sense, which helps me justify the purchase of this rather expensive watch wristop computer.
Suunto is probably [...]

Dallas Airport: Keep your laptop in your bag

My Review: 10
I’m at the airport in Dallas, Texas.  Ordinarily I would find that depressing, but I have two reasons to celebrate.  1.) I am on my way to Cozumel, Mexico for a scuba vacation.  And 2.) they have the coolest x-ray machine of all time:

According to the security lady, this is one of only [...]

Otterbox Armor Series (for the iPhone)

My Review: 8
It looks like the Humvee of iPhone cases:
This thing is a brick.  A giant, yellow brick.  As I was testing it out for the day, a number of people made fun of me.  But I told them what I’m about to tell you.
This case is not intended for everyday carry.  It’s bulky, [...]

New Microsoft Webcam VX-5000 Review

My Review: 7
So I got a new webcam.  When I’m at home using my desktop (that I put together myself, with Jeff’s help) I don’t have built-in access to a webcam.  Since I love 12seconds.tv, and I don’t have a phone that does video (stupid iPhone) I am forced to always use my macbook in [...]

iPhone Defender Case From Otterbox

My Review: 7

So I have been using the iPhone Defender case from Otterbox for about 5 days straight now. I have some thoughts. I think the easiest thing will be to break this up into several categories:

Beauty
Fit and Finish
Protection
Accessibility
Functionality

Beauty: 8
The case looks great. There is no question that it bulks the phone up a bit, [...]

The Seagate FreeAgent Go

My Rating: 7
I have a lot of stuff. Firstly, I have several computers. I have a hell of a time figuring out what content is on which computer. This is especially true when it comes to music. I’ll have the inspiration to download an album on one machine and then forget [...]

iPhone usage in the car

My Rating: 4
The iPhone, depending on the day, is either a brick of gold or just a brick. As I start to integrate this device into my regular phone/ipod habits, I begin to pick up on some of the challenges inherent in the only device that has ever come close to convincing me [...]

My New Macbook

My Review:8 —UPDATED—

NOTE: I HAVE UPDATED THIS REVIEW, AND CHANGED THE RATING. PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE UPDATE.
I am seriously conflicted here. I would love to give this machine a nine or ten. But at the moment, I simply can not.
I am lifelong PC user. I’ve been [...]
