VirtualBox - The Free Competitor to VMware and Parallels Desktop
After a little searching, though, I hit gold with VirtualBox - an open source virtualization solution. Of course, the best part about VirtualBox is that it's FREE. It also runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and OpenSolaris - making it a great solution for virtually everyone!

Evernote Review - A Perfect Compliment To Post-Its
Yeah, I'm that guy. That guy that has Post-It notes scattered all over his monitor and desk, of all different colors. I'll grab a piece, jot down a note, only to complete the task minutes...
Retro Digicam Review: Casio QV-30 (Why Old Tech Isn't Always Cool)
However, not all old technology conjures up thoughts of rainbows and puppy dogs for me.

Conference calls, talking to my friends and co-workers, and a relatively small minutes plan from AT&T have led to my rapid burning-through of rollover minutes. Seeing my stash deplete like leftover Chinese food foolishly forgotten...

MobileMe - It's Just Not That Bad
I'd like to hear a little more from everyone about their experience with MobileMe. All I've heard so far is a lot of griping.

The Reigning King Of My Bluetooth World
I love my new gadgets and would consider myself an occassional early adopter, when it makes sense (and when the wallet is fatter than usual.) In the realm of mobile headsets, however, I've chosen to kick it old school, and haven't upgraded my headset in years.

Retro Game Review: Venture (ColecoVision)
Fond memories came rolling back in when I fired up one of my favorite old ColecoVision games, Venture. Venture embodies many aspects of gaming that are long, long extinct. There's a heavy emphasis on accumulating...
