Hopefully you received a few cool toys in your Christmas stocking this year…I know I did. But now the dilemma, some toys do need accessories to ‘complete’ them.

This (iPod) Red is quite nice. iTunes Sucks.

December 25, 2006

Every new Palm needs a new glove.

October 18, 2006

Well, in this case it’s actually a case, but the title was too good to pass up.

August 21, 2006

I’ve been reading ebooks on my Palm Zire 31 for a year and a bit…but not thought about listing the resources I use. Well, here’s the first step — and I didn’t have to do much of the work either thanks to this great link from David Dean. He lists five, I’ve grabbed three, [...]
