Seems to be an age old question for me.

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.

Well, I returned my Epson 2400, I decided to upgrade to the 2450, because the 2400 was not meant to handle medium format. I’d much rather use a scanner that for sure will handle all the medium format negatives my heard desires. I will review the 2450 and compare it to the 2400 when it arrives. I bought the 2450 on ebay refurbished with a 1 year warranty for about $170 (Circuit City sells it for $299 brand new). ...

Now that I’ve gotten into photography much more, I decided I needed a scanner that not only would do prints, but also my slides and negatives. Wrote up a quick review on it. Read it here.

As seen on slashdot, RevJim, has hacked the Ritz Point and shoot one time use digital camera! Time to buy one and see what it can do.

My buddy Greg did a really neat case mod.

I should be a product tester at the very least.

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. The Zaurus is a very feature-rich device with plenty of power and expandability.” ...
