Tivo Wants

By Michael Palmer |  Jun 9, 2004  | #gear, #tivo | 1 min read
Dangit, I want a Tivo. I’m more and more tired daily of missing shows that I want to watch, and getting stuck watching stuff I don’t want to see but am forced to because nothing else is on. Tivo is my answer, i’ve put it off so long, only because of the cost, but now I can get a 60hr on ebay for under $180. Is it worth it? Research time.

Thinkgeek is selling a James Bond Stealth Camera. It costs $100 but, still it’s kinda neat. Good for those candid shots of people when they don’t know you’ve got a camera.

Epson 2400 Scanner

Very detailed review on the new Zaurus SL-5600. “The new Zaurus SL-5600 from Sharp is a linux-based PDA with a 400MHz Intel XScale (PXA250) CPU. The street price is currently around $500 for the SL-5600. Sharp calls these devices Personal Mobile Tools, and if it were up to me I’d call the Zaurus, say, an “Ultra-Light Computer”, but I’ll use the term PDA here. The 5600 is an upgraded version of the 5500 which has been widely available for over a year, and the appearance is almost identical including the distinctive miniature keyboard which hides behind the quick button panel.
