Recently (like 4 days ago), while trying to re-enter the world of consolidated - easy to deal with - email, calendars and all sorts of information sharing, I decided to try something I’d done in the past: use one email tool to help consolidate my accounts. I have a few, but not too many. I […]
I’ve been sitting here playing with a few different online tools like Backpack, Twitter, IMified, and AirSet. Though I think all of these tools are pretty cool, I’m just not getting it, I suppose.
While I’m playing with these things on my laptop, I’m wondering what good they would do someone like me. See, the […]
Obviously, it’s been a while since I’ve written. I won’t get into the details, but there were a number of valid reasons. But let’s just talk about how embracing mobile technology can simplify your life.
If you talk to my buddies James and Kevin at JKOnTheRun.com, these Masters of Mobile can certainly tell you that this type of technology […]
If you’re not amused enough with your Wiimote while playing with your Wii, then maybe you too can hack something with it. In fact, there’s a guy out there, Chris Hughes, who decided to do something fun with his Wiimote and his Roomba.
Chris decided to hack the Roomba so that it would respond to motion […]
A product produced by the folks at Avvenu allows you to listen to your iTunes music connection from any web browser on a Windows PC, Mac, or Windows Mobile 5 smartphone. Your home-base PC is, of course, needed to store the originating iTunes library, and has to be a Windows PC (We’ll assume at least XP). With […]
I’m with the folks at Gizmodo on this one. Since there are so many people talking about this wonderful iPhone, from Apple - not Cisco, I thought I would wind my own list down to some simple stuff. I find it to be pretty cool too, but not cool enough to have spent all of […]
Some time ago, eHomeUpgrade had previously posted a story on RealVNC. RealVNC is a cross-platform application that lets users remotely assume control (with full access) of a computer across a network.
Wired has a feature story on Austrian tech columnist, Teddy the Bear who can be seen showing off his Apple Powerbook’s OS X desktop in […]
The new pendant-sized phone from Pantech&Curitel is a mere 56 mm wide and 67 mm tall. The PH-K2500V can supposedly be worn around one’s neck, just like a pendant!
It features TTS (Text To Speech) functionality, which converts a text messages into voice messages for the receiver. When in “speak mode”, it will read an incoming […]

Samsung has announced two new mobile phones that can convert spoken words into text messages. The speech-to-text is called VoiceMode and works alongside something called QuickPhrase which lets you send pre-programmed messages like ‘I’m running late’ just by speaking the words (I’m assuming the process needs no manual input at all, to differentiate it from […]
A company called Force Field Wireless has developed three products that reduce the leakage of wireless signals from a room, or buildings; adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
DefendAir Radio Shield is a latex paint which contains copper filings and an aluminum compound. With an even spread on a wall, the paint […]
Canary’s Wireless Hotspotter is a WiFi detector that can display the name, WEP status, and signal strength of 802.11b/g networks that it finds. The $50 device is a great little tool for locating WiFi hot-spots and actually knowning the names of what they are! Now, my Dell Axim x30 is pretty good at discovery all […]
The emerging WiMax wireless wide area networking technology has received a boost with the arrival of the first integrated circuit to comply with the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard.
