Don’t Skimp on Form or Function!
Typically, I wear a watch to save time. If I don’t have the second ticking away on my wrist, I’ll forget some critical appointment or miss a meeting. Watches serve a purpose and their aesthetics are typically not my main selection criteria.
But when I do pick a watch for its form and function, I don’t [...]
It’s Officially Fall, But the Spring is Back in My Step!
In my line of work, you cover a lot of news and new products at tradeshows. But more than that, you cover a lot a convention floor space over very long hours on your feet!
While all the chairs are in the food court, the rest areas are—not surprisingly—devoid of new gadgets, gizmos and newsmakers, so [...]
Safe Driving & Easy Hands-Free Calling
Here in Arizona, the state legislature just passed a law barring texting while driving. The move—which came after a few high profile accidents involving teen drivers texting—is a good one, but has also spurred a heated debate about use of any hands-on cell phone technology while driving a car.
For me, the possibility of a more [...]
Simple Security that Simply Works

MP4 Watch Has People Watching Me!
Functional is the name of the game when it comes to the many gadgets in my arsenal of cellphones, MP3 players, PDAs, etc.
Whether it’s functional, multifunctional or unbelievably multifunctional, I’m not usually one to pick up a gadget just because of its cool factor. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got my fair share of trendy [...]
Simple, Yet Simply Brilliant
I have a problem.
Every time I get a new technology toy—a gadget or gizmo that promises some stellar bit of functionality—I’m inclined to put it through the wringer just to see if it lives up to the promise on the box.
While this little bit of OCD has resulted in some shining examples of truth in [...]
The View From Up Here
Truth be told, I’m a bit of a digital camera junkie. I’ve got reams of uncategorized JPGs filling up space on several hard drives at the house (and several of those hard drives filling up space in junk drawers in the office!) That’s not to say that owning seven digital cameras in the form of [...]
