A few months ago, the fine people at WOMWorld lent me a Nokia E71 for review. I've been putting off publishing any sort of remarks because my mom always said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." But, lately, they've been insistent. So, here we go.
First the good.
The phone is beautiful. [...]

A big part of what makes a website designed to sell a product successful is whether that website stirs up a feeling of trust for the merchant and respect for the product. While ExposureManager is indeed completely customizable , making these custom changes requires heavy knowledge of HTML, CSS, and access to ExposureManager template [...]

I've had each of these commenting systems installed in various places in my network of blogs. Additionally, I've used the blogs of other people using these services to get a feel for the user side of it. I've also tested a handful of other systems brought to my attention, none of which were as personally [...]

I've photographed with Nikon cameras for over 10 years now. Sure, that's not nearly as many years as some of the outstanding photographers using this equipment today, but I'd like to think that 10 years not only marks me as a loyal customer but also means that I might know a thing or two about [...]

So yeah. Yesterday, I broke down and bought a Blackberry Pearl which came highly recommended by more people than I can count. While there, I was very tempted by the new Blackberry Curve, which was just released that day. However, the few features it offered didn't warrant the $100 difference in price and I was [...]

I never had a chance to fill you in on Sunday, so here we go.
I had a Late Brunch — okay fine, it was Lunch — at Barbieri's: very diner feeling; nice wait staff; well priced; clean; tasty; filled with a good mix of people and conversation. It's not really the kind of place you [...]

It rained all day yesterday. For a guy who occupies his free time with photography, that's a bad thing especially considering how much free time he had. Today won't be much better. Instead of rain, there's snow.
I got up early intending to have breakfast at the B'Ville Diner in Baldwinsville. Half way there I realized [...]

I slept in this morning so, now I'm running "late" for the "appointments" I've made for my "self" today. (I don't know why I put quotes around "self". Well, I don't know why I did the first time. I know why I did the second time. That was to point out the fact that I [...]

So I did it. I broke down and bought a 8GB iPod Nano yesterday.
And now, less than 24 hours later I can say that I hate my iPod Nano. There's nothing wrong with the device, exactly. In fact, it stores and plays music just like it promised it would. But I'm still left feeling cheated.
First [...]
