Ok, so sometimes we get a little crazy in life. For me, this usually means that I buy some kind of electronis or technology product that I really don’t “need.” Well, I was over at a friends house one day and he was telling me about Speakeasy DSL service and that they are […]

Well, the update is that there is no update. Danielle, her parents and I are all going to San Diego this weekend to check out a place in RSF. If you don’t know where that is, don’t worry. I know I said we would get some registry places going, but we have not managed to […]

Well, I laughed at Danielle the other day when the computer that is running Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and is configured to sync with both of our Nokia phones separately (or so I thought), sync’d my Outlook contact information to her phone. She has been waiting patiently for this stupid company to send […]

I have spent more hours than I care to share trying to figure out how Media Center Edition 2005 and Media Player 10 combine efforts to organize the music on my computer and subsequently list it in MCE2005. After much reading and a lot of trial and error, I found that Media Player is […]

I bought Danielle a 512MB CF (Compact Flash) card for her Canon S50 digital camera last year and paid $90 for it which at the time was a smoking deal. I just saw a deal on dell for a 512MB CF card from Kingston (a good manufacturer) for $27.59 after mail-in rebate. That is a […]

The 2005 Home Theater “Best High-End Home Theater Speaker System” is the Krell Resolution 2 speaker system. At a MSRP of $21,000 USD, they are certainly not cheap, but they are apparently the best thing going as far as home theater speakers are concerned. And, as all of us tech geeks know, your system […]

I have to say I was a bit worried about the reliability and ruggedness of my Nokia 6620 smartphone when I first got it. The phone is basically a hand held computer, running it’s own operating system, high resolution display and more. Since I purchased it a couple of months ago, I have […]

It is kind of a pain when you are using new technology because there is little documentation for the products you are using. Plus there are usually a small number of people who are using the same components you are which makes it difficult to find help for your exact situation…even on line. One of […]

Alright, the media PC is now functional…although I am still having trouble playing a DVD through Windows Media Center. Otherwise, the machine is pretty incredible. It is lightning fast and rips CDs to 320K MP3 in about 2 minutes. It is pretty amazing. Radio and TV reception are working great. I now want to […]

Well, I don’t know what happened…well, yes I do. I just couldn’t take it any longer. I finally ordered the new fixin’s for my Media Center PC project. I just checked eBay and I will be able to sell my Series 2 Tivo, with lifetime subscription, for at least $300, so that is nice. And, […]

Maybe it is the release of Media Center Edition 2005, but I have found myself using Windows Media Player 10 for just about all of my computer related audio and video needs lately. I have been checking out the features and DMR (digital media rights) that Media Player 10 offers and to be honest, I […]

If you are sitting at your computer and you want to send an SMS/text message to a Cingular or AT&T Wireless customer, you can visit this Cingular SMS Message page to send one out for free. Of course, the recipient may have to pay to receive the message, but you don’t have to pay to […]

We went to pick up Danielle’s new phone after the silly Cingular Phone Sales debacle (more on that later) at the local Cingular store the other day. We got her the Nokia 6230, which pretty much has all of the features that my Nokia 6620 has without the Symbian OS and some of the capacity. […]

I think I am on part 4…I guess I will have to check. I finally decided to just make a category here for the 6620 information as it looks like there is going to be a ton. Anyway, let’s talk about a few issues I have been having with the 6620 and Cingular. First, […]
