The Sony DigiDad Project
No, it's not about turning a bunch of dads into Skynet, cybernetic offspring. Nor are there going to be a new line of kids DigiPets that are modeled after fathers (but that would be an interesting idea). The Sony DigiDad Project is actually pretty cool (probably because I'm in it)! So here's the scoop. Sony has teamed up with 5…

Honey, I Shrunk the Dongle – Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000
Microsoft introduced its BlueTrack Technology in 2008 claiming that its breakthrough technology would allow for users to use mice having BlueTrack on just about any surface (just not glass or reflective surfaces). I decided to put that to the test in this quick review of the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000. I have reviewed several mice and there are truly…

Review: “Eyes On” with the Dell Adamo 13
I was originally going to have the title of this review be "Hands On with the Dell Adamo 13" but I realized that laptops, notebooks and netbooks are really a dime a dozen these days. While the innards of a laptop can be very similar, what I think sets many laptops apart are their design, functionality and aesthetics. There are…

Altec Lansing’s Orbit MP3 Speaker Means High Quality Sound yet Inexpensive Portability
The nice thing about cell phones and MP3 players these days is that they hold a ton of music and they are extremely portable and functional. But the problem is, most players either don't have a speaker or if they do, it is only good for a conference call now and then and not really for playing your music or…

The Belkin N1 Vision: A Wireless Router Built for Speed as well as Display
If you are like me, you have your wireless router tucked away in a closet, at the top of a shelf or under a desk somewhere. I have one of mine on top of a kitchen hutch because it's in the center of the house, high up (for better reception) and close to the DSL connection. The other is tucked…

Review: Double your iPhone’s Battery with the Mophie Juice Pack Air
I am a hard-core iPhone data user. My AT&T account shows that I have downloaded 5.4 GB and uploaded 1.1 GB worth of data since I received my first iPhone. I suck through batteries like there is no tomorrow, so much so that I actually had to return my first iPhone because the battery just wasn't holding a charge because…

Find Your Way with the Magellan RoadMate 1470
The last gadget that I'm going review right before Father's Day is upon us (see my other Father's Day reviews here) is something that every Dad would love to receive. But heck, if you are reading this review after the "magical" day, just know that you can bring a smile to any dad's face and even a tear to his…

Sennheiser’s MM 50 iP Headphones are Music to my Ears
I have been using the Apple-issued iPhone headphones for over 2 years. Only for a brief period did I use some Sony Headphones with an adapter for the microphone. The Sony's got a bit beaten up in my daily transportation routine so I was back to my standard issue Apple headphone. Music sounded great, clear, clean and crisp...that is, until…

Bippity Boppity Boo, Here Comes a Disney Netbook for You!
A member of the Disney Public Relations team contacted me tonight about an exciting announcement that just so happened to be geared towards me, my family and my audience, a Netbook affectionately known as the Disney Netpal. Being the father of 3 daughters, one who is denying she is still in the princess stage yet still seems to dress and…

Baby Brain: Keeping Digital Notes on your Baby’s Habits via your iPhone
I think that I had kids about 10 years too early. Well, actually, I'm glad about the age that I had my 3 beautiful daughters, I'm just not happy that I didn't have today's technology back then. The makers of Baby Brain, an iPhone application that is touted as "the Ultimate iPhone app for Parents", invited me to try out…

A High-Tech Nest for your iPod – the iPort FS-22
Have you been using your iPod or iPhone to its fullest potential? Do you tune out the world when you listen to it? iPods are traditionally very isolating and closed, a singular experience. You put on your headphones and off you go to musical solitude. Of course there are some stand alone speaker systems that you can get to move…
