It’s amazing how many convenience products and services there are out there. Too lazy to shop, got no time, out of ideas: get a personal shopper. To lazy to cook, tired of cooking, or have no time to cook? Microwaveable TV dinners is your answer. Too tired to get your mail from your mailbox in [...]
National Geographic 2477 Bag Review
So after finding the perfect shoulder camera/laptop bag, the National Geographic NG-2475, and then having to return it because it couldn’t fit my 15.4″ MacBook Pro, fortunately Bogen (yes, the same company that makes tripods) makes a slightly larger version: the National Geographic NG-2477. The new bag is a few inches wider and is identical [...]
VModa Vibe Duo Nero Earbuds Review
I had long known that the included Apple i-Buds(?)…earbuds…earphones simply, just do not cut it. They’re big and clunky when you put them in your ear and half the time don’t even stay in. But when I got my iPhone, the included earphones had one great feature: the press button answer/hang-up/pause/skip-to-next-track button & microphone. So [...]

Canon Launches 1000D, The New Rebel XS
The rumors had been circulating for awhile of Canon’s newest release, the Canon Rebel XS (or 1000D, as it is known everywhere but in the United States). Nikon had been scooping up the pre-entry-level SLR market for awhile with their hugely popular D40 and D40x and now the D60 whereas Canon’s entry-level consumer camera, the [...]
Public Defender Semi Annual Meeting
Our semi-annual meeting with a surprise guest: Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Canon EOS 1Ds versus Canon EOS 5D
Sometimes new(er) isn’t always better. Take for example: Windows XP versus Windows Vista. Our office (and many others) have refused to make the up(down)grade to Windows Vista because of the slow performance, annoying security policies, and it offers nothing that we don’t already get with XP. So how does something that is 6 years old [...]
Iron Man: Best Marvel Movie So Far
Iron Man is one of my most favorite super heroes next to Batman and Superman. Before you read any further, let me assure you that there are no spoilers. This isn’t so much an in depth review as it is just my thoughts. So when I heard that Marvel was finally bringing him to the [...]
