Back it up, back it in…

On a scale of 1 to 10, more people should really be backing up their hard drives.
You know you should.  We all know we should, but most of us rarely do.  If you go into a room of 10 people and ask: “Do any of you back up your hard drives?”, usually only 2 or [...]

Adding hyperlinks in Mac Mail with keyboard shortcuts is sweet… now

My friend Andrew is a genius.  He’s a 10.
I use Mac Mail.  Not because it’s the best mail client of all time, but because it’s better than most of the other ones I’ve tried on the Mac (Entourage [which is Outlook for the Mac], Thunderbird, Zimbra).  They have major issues.  Mail has the best search, [...]

Firemail – Now I’m Typin’ Widescreen

I’ve always detested one (or two) thing(s) about my iphone.  My primary moan?  Why not make the landscape keyboard more widely available?  On a scale from 1 to 10, using a portrait keyboard to type emails on an iPhone is immensely sucky.
Apple made landscape work in Safari; if you’re in the browser and have to [...]

eStarling is Startlingly Cool

On a scale from 1 to 10, the Impact V photo frame from eStarling is sort of awesome.
eStarling makes several WiFi connected digital photo frames, and I’ve been playing with their Impact V for a bit.  I’m impressed.
From the moment you open the box, eStarling does a pretty good job holding your hand and making [...]

Video Recording on my iPhone… or very nearly (thank you 12seconds)

Disclaimer: We know, love and work with the people from 12seconds.  Impartiality is severely dented, if not discarded outright.
On a scale from 1 to 10, 12seconds has done something really cool.
Today 12seconds.tv has done a few cool things:
1. They’ve re-designed their website – cool new look and feel, with a strong focus on video [...]

Netflix on the new XBOX 360 Live – disappointing so far

On a scale from 1 to 10, the Netflix / Xbox experience is slathered in weaksauce.
I have an Xbox 360. When I heard about the new Xbox Live experience (new UI, new architecture, more features, more customization, etc.) I thought it sounded really cool. I’ve always thought it was a neat product, but [...]

Crankjam – a social network for rock climbers

On a scale of 1 to 10, Crankjam seems creepy and weird.
Wait, hold on.  Let me explain.
While on Facebook, I saw an advertisement related to rock climbing.  I like rock climbing.  So I said to myself: “Why don’t you check that out.”  The ad suggested that the advertisers in question were seeking Beta testers to [...]

Blinded By The Light. The real one.

My Review: 10
I love Bruce Springsteen.  And this song, I think, is nothing short of brilliant.  Please listen to it in my Box.net widget in the side bar.
First of all, let me say one thing.  Douche is not part of this song.

Bruce wrote this song in the early seventies, and it was first recorded on [...]

SteepandCheap Reviewed

My Review: 7

Steepandcheap.com is a website dedicated to offering super rad discounts on cool outdoor gear.  My expert internet sleuth Allison found this one.  The copyright on their “About” page says 2003-2004, but I am only seeing the site now.  They are “powered by” Backcountry.com.  I suspect they had a different format previously.  The guys [...]
