I think we’re getting closer and closer to a time where we see different electronics integrated. Sony came out with a Sony VAIO PC that did TV long ago. The computer was built right into the back of a flat panel screen. I have always thought that the sony laptops and televisions had gorgeous pictures. [...]
I have my computer set up to show a slideshow of my pictures when I’m away from my desk. It’s not unusual to find either RB or CJ sitting or standing nearby watching the pictures when I leave my desk. We all enjoy them so much that I’m thinking I’d like to connect my computer [...]
I learned recently that movies are being made available on SD cards, also known as secure digital cards. I can see where the advantage would be the size – an SD card takes much less room to store than a VHS tape or even a DVD. But, the size of the SD forgoes the familiar [...]
The Blackberry plants must be running on overdrive, because it seems like everyone has one. I don’t have a Blackberry. I know a few people with one but we’ve just never sat and discussed our phones. Is there anything these magical devices cannot do? I never knew that you could watch television on a Blackberry [...]

For Father’s Day I got RB a 40gb iPod. Going quite a while back he’d said he’d have no use for one. I knew better. A couple of months ago he started realizing that having an iPod would be much better than bringing twelve cd’s with him every day he went to work. So I [...]
I was watching tv today. As I was changing the channel I realized that with all of the diy shows on now there aren’t really any for computer use. We can find plenty of shows to help teach us how to do things around the house and to help us learn how to cook. But [...]
You’ve probably seen the use of medical diagnostics on tv shows like Law and Order and House, as well as on other shows including soap operas. In this case I’m referring to a diagnostic imaging test called a cat scan. They never show a character having any type of reaction to the contrast that is [...]
This week I’ve seen a lot of commercials for Verizon FIOS multi room dvr. This looks really cool and is something that’s right up my alley. Verizon’s Multi Room DVR works from one dvr unit. Someone in the living room can pause a show and go into the bedroom and resume watching from there. Or, [...]
