I just returned home from a trip to Salt Lake City in which I decided to use my HTC Incredible with Android 2.2 aka FroYo (It had 2.1 at the start of the trip but I’ll explain more on that later) as my all in one portable device. It replaced my Garmin nuvi 765, Microsoft Zune [Continue]
I’ve been using a Kindle for a little less than a year and it’s been great. I skipped the first generation Kindle because it was so damned ugly so my first experience with this ereader was with the Kindle 2. Prior to that I was using the Sony PRS-505 eReader for a couple years so [Continue]
Have you ever tried to cancel service on a Tivo box? Ugh. What a freaking pain in the ass. I have three Tivo boxes in my house because back in the day when I had kids living at home we all had shows that we liked to watch. So, having several Tivos from which to [Continue]

We, and I say we because I’m part of [Continue]

Given that you can purchase a Ford Fusion Hybrid for $28,100 MSRP, that the Fusion Hybrid gets 41 mpg city, and that at $3/gallon gas it would take around 12 years to make your money back even [Continue]
