That’s a lot of new Kindles

Kindle now iPod App.  That’s going to sell a lot of books for Amazon.
It makes sense, considering that not everyone wants a Kindle.  On the other hand, everyone already has an iPod.
And it’s free.  I haven’t read too much about the application so far, but I am interested in how it syncs up with your [...]

New Phone, Part I

I just picked up a Nokia e71.
Currently it’s in the “new toy” phase of gadget ownership.  I’m enamored of its styling and snappy performance. Battery life is probably not indicative of real world performance as I am constantly fiddling with it.  I’ve uploaded a video and a pic to flickr as a test and it [...]

Street Fighter IV accessories

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

I’m going to see how many times I can say, “surprise” in the first ten seconds.  Here’s the Tournament Edition Fightstick for Street Fighter IV.
It’s rather large.  I’ve been sitting on this video for a while, I actually got the stick a week before Street Fighter IV dropped [...]

Not that I mind, if I’m doing a dedicated shoot, I move around a lot [...]

Fighting! On the Street!

First things first.  I have the opening theme for Street Fighter IV stuck in my head.  It has the infectious poppy feel of both a boy band and a teen idol earworm, and I’m kind of stuck with it.  The menu has it looping around and I tonight I found myself starting up the game [...]

Total number of DS units: 3, no wait, 4

The Nintendo DSi is something I’m very interested in.  Not only is it another Nintendo Handheld DS, bringing my total to ridiculous, but it brings an app store to the table, something I think that would work very well on the DS.
It does work very well for the PSP, but there needs to be more [...]

Kindle 2: Electric Boogaloo

So far, based on the initial reviews of the Kindle 2, I would rate my enthusiasm a rousing, “Meh.”
I’m not sure what I think about the Kindle 2, since Amazon isn’t likely to send me a review unit anytime soon.  I do think that the cost of entry is high, at least for me.  There [...]
