This was an awesome Christmas gift. It's a charging station for our devices. This has my new camera battery charger, our Bluetooth headsets and both of our phones and we still have room for other devices. If you have a geek in your life, especially one with a very organized wife, this will make a great gift. Thanks Sara!

New pocket knife

For the past few years, I've been carrying a monogrammed Swiss Army Classic SD silver alox knife. It's very small and thin and I bought one for myself and several to give the groomsmen in our wedding. For a while now, I've been wanting a slightly larger knife that was still very small and thin, so last night, I bought a Benchmade Model 10610 (Stainless). I got it at a great Army/Navy Surplus store in Kennesaw.

Flashlight Improvement

I saw this on Lifehacker. He takes a $5 flashlight and hacks it to be superior to a $95 flashlight. I think I'm gonna try it...

Portable DVD Player Pt 4 (Final)...

I've finally decided on the Polaroid PDV-0700. It is available from Wal-Mart. They sell it for $198.86 and with a 3 year warranty and shipping the total is $222.22. Some additional information is available from the
manual and reviews from Epinions and Amazon.

Third Portable DVD Player Post...

I have revisited my opinion following my previous first and second Portable DVD player posts. I have decided to order the Initial Portable DVD With 4.2" Wide Screen, IDM-9520 from WalMart. It's available in the clearance department for only $99.86. A three year warranty is available for 16.58. The total price with the 3 year warranty and shipping and handling is $121.41. Amazon lists the same item for $129.94 (with no extended warranty, but with free shipping).

New Portable Media Centers...

At least a couple of Windows Mobile-based Portable Media Centers are available for preorder on Amazon. The Samsung Yepp YH-999 and the Creative Labs 20 GB Zen Media Centers look pretty good. They are both (I'm sure) quite capable audio-video players. I think that for my money, the Archos AV420 might be a better deal, because it has the ability to record and should be quite a capable DVR. This gives you the ability to record your favorite shows and take them with you to work on your lunch hour or commute (as long as your not driving). The Archos also works as a digital wallet and reads most flash card standards. For more information, the Archos manual is available. Stay tuned as these device become reality.

Portable DVD Player...

I've changed my mind, since my last post on the subject. I have decided on the Audiovox D1708. I have found that it is available from Sam's Club for $199.86. That's cheaper than I could find on shopper.com . They also sell a 3 year warranty for $39.85, which isn't bad.

1200 hours on one battery...

Possibly the coolest flashlight ever:Pak-Lite's Official Website - The 9Volt LED Flashlight! I'll still keep my Photon on my key ring, but I'll probably get one of these for the truck and traveling.

I really want a portable DVD Player...

These are the the cheapest ones I've seen. $129 for Walmart.com - Initial Portable DVD Player 4.2" LCD IDM-9520 or $148 for Walmart.com - Initial Portable DVD Player 5" LCD IDM-9530. You can see a little bit more information on it at Initial. I can also get a 3 year replacement warranty for less than $17 (probably a real good idea on stuff this cheap). I've actually changed my mind recently and want the Apex PD-450 for $139.67. It's the only inexpensive one which has Video In and Out. That will be handy for using as a monitor to my camcorder or digital camera media, with a device like the SanDisk Digital Photo Viewer.
