    September 7, 2006

    I’m in the market for a new cellphone. Currently, I have a Palm Treo 700w with Verizon. I really don’t like the large size of the phone nor its use of Windows Mobile 5. Before the Treo, I was using a Sony Ericsson T68i with Cingular. It worked well enough,…

    30 minutes away from leaving Santa Clara for the airport. Our backpacks are packed into a duffel bag, which we’ll be checking into SFO. That should solve the problem of the backpack straps getting caught by the airport conveyor belts or devious individuals. Once we arrive, the choice will be…

    For our trip to Europe, Rae and I are packing ultra-light. For me, this means my high-performance yet bulky SLR will be staying at home. I’ll be taking instead a Canon PowerShot A610. The past few days, I have really noticed how heavy the 1D-series cameras are even with “light”…
