One issue plaguing the “review” industry is the new factor rush to be first. This isn’t really a review, but more a few notes and thoughts on my Lumia 520 Windows Phone after using it for a month or so. I want to start off actually by saying, I’m still mostly happy with the … [Read more…]
I mentioned yesterday I had a handful of apps I was missing from my Windows Phone experience. There are probably others but these are ones that I have noticed more than others. There are some work arounds I have come up with though, and some of these are more critical than others. Dropbox This is … [Read more…]
So, I’ve mentioned in passing here and all over everywhere else that I have been using my new Nexus 7 tablet. It’s been one of my standard "long build up choices". I’ve known for a while I wanted a tablet and planned to get one for some time. Things finally culminated in the Nexus 7. … [Read more…]
I have this old 200mm Lens that I think came with a Ricoh film camera I got for cheap years ago. It essentially cost me nothing. I haven’t used it much however because the photos all turn out really hazy. I figure I’m not using it and it’s probably not worth enough to pay for … [Read more…]
I got a stack of boxes last Thursday, somewhat previously discussed. I already owned the case. It’s this one here. It’s basic, holds a shitload of hard drives, and has several huge quiet 120mm fans.

I also have done numerous upgrades to hard drives, RAM, GPUs, etc over the years. I’ve wired up cases for better cooling and upgraded a PC … [Read more…]
I think I’ve finally got something I like after rearranging my little icons all over the place back and forth. I still have not figured out how and if I can rename the single folder I’ve placed on the screen. Thankfully the pre-installed apps, while not uninstallable, are removable from the main screens. Of note … [Read more…]
After much debating on which Android phone would be the one i wanted for my carrier (AT&T), I had finally narrowed it down to the Captivate, which my brother has and enjoys, or the iPhone 3GS, which many people have. Then it was announced that AT&T was getting a second Droid phone that was worthwhile … [Read more…]
This is the last part of my multipart “review” of my recently acquired HP Mini 311. This is probably the most difficult to put down since at this point, it’s changing on a regular basis. The How, is how things are going to be done, and how things are being done. For example, i am … [Read more…]
So I wrote up a rather lengthy “review” or at least partial review last week for this new machine I’ve been using. The thing to note is that, for the most part, I didn’t mention much actually pertaining to the device. That’s where this post comes into play. After careful consideration, I went with the … [Read more…]
