I’ve been really excited to see what I can do with my photography and digital video, so I decided that today would be the day I would get the Canon Hacker’s Development Kit working on my already awesome Canon SD750 camera. After my initial research, I discovered that there is finally a beta version of [...]

Back in February, I purchased a Canon SD750 digital camera. I had done extensive research on the various cameras I was interested in, and the SD750 stood out among the pack on pretty much every feature. It was clinched for me after I had the opportunity to use a friend’s SD750, and not [...]

My beloved (but sometimes also hated) i-mate JAQ3 must have heard through the grapevine that it’s getting replaced with an iPhone, because last week it decided to give up the ghost completely. The poor thing has given me a good year and a half of hard use, so I really can’t blame it for wanting [...]
When the 10.5.3 update to OS X borked my iCal installation, I tried quite a few things to get my iCal back in working order. When you clicked the dock icon, it would just bounce and never actually open the program. I tried trashing a couple of files according to some directions I found on [...]
After a long, hard look at a number of VERY expensive Windows Mobile phones, and waiting with bated breath for the announcement of the iPhone 3G, my husband and I have finally made the decision to move to AT&T and get a couple of white 16GB iPhones. The one catch is that we have [...]
I discovered yesterday afternoon that my iCal appears to be broken. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and explore the problem yet, but when I click on the iCal icon in the dock, it bounces up and down, appears to try to open, and then shuts itself down again. Rebooting did not fix [...]
My Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone is practically attached to my hand. I was lucky enough to win the i-mate JAQ3 in a contest over at Gear Diary last year, and ever since then the JAQ3 has been my go-to mobile device. It has some clear shortcomings, most obvious being poorer call quality than I’m [...]
I was pretty excited to hear that the new OS X upgrade, 10.5.3, would allow Address Book to sync with Google Contacts. Since I’ve been syncing everything else through GMail and GCal, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get my contacts all straightened out.
I spent a LOT of time last night updating [...]
