General Info

Way too much for a first entry

I've been promising my friend Steven that I would start a gadget/tech blog for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it for various reasons. At this point, I have a backlog of toys to discuss, and I'm going to see how well I can stick to contributing something every few days as I use the products. Unfortunately, to get started I need a bunch of background.

First, a bit about me. I'm an enterprise architecture consultant. I won't bore you with what that means at this point, except to say that I travel quite a bit (4 days a week, more or less full time for the last 8 years) and my daily life is really focused around the technology I carry with me - my laptop(thinkpad for now), mobile phone (today a blackberry 7100t), and when I'm flying or trying to focus, my music (iPod).

A Fry's Electronics Grand Opening...


Indiana finally got it's first Fry's Electronics. Although the store opened on Wednesday, the grand opening was this past Friday. I decided to be adventurous and give it a try during the grand opening.

Early Gadget Adopter - What's That?

I have worked hard for more than 10 years to earn the title of early gadget adopter and now I wear the badge with pride. It's not an easy reputation to establish and the path is often littered with bad purchasing decisions. I still cringe when I think of the color Pronto (touch screen remote control), the Palm VII, or the 38" HD DirecTV tube TV! I'd like to think those just help build character.
