If You Really Have To Buy A Blackberry

If you've read this blog even a few times you know I'm an iPhone girl, but if you're going to get a Blackberry, the new Torch looks pretty cool. Here's some video of the Torch if you want to check it out.

New Gift For Your Gadget Loving Friends

So, of course, I got the iPhone 4 and truly so far I'm not having any problems (although clearly others are having a few). I just ordered a cool new case from Exogear that's coming out soon. The case looks nice and also adds extra battery life. If you or your boss have a friend that has a new iPhone, it's a great gift.

I Do - Do U(SB)

I say all the time that the most important thing about a gift is originality (not cost) and the gift mentioned in this article is a great example of that. Also, as a geeky girl, I love this idea.

I'm Back & In A Geeky Frenzy

A few of you emailed me to ask me if I was okay because I hadn't blogged in a few weeks. Truthfully I forget that at least a few people actually read this blog and it never occurred to me someone would worry. Anyway, sorry I've been absent, but I've recently gotten the opportunity to partner with some people I really respect on a something I wrote with hopes of selling it and that combined with my full time gig has left me no time to blog. I will still be blogging in the coming weeks, but it just might not be super frequently. One reason I decided to blog today is that I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED regarding the new iPhone 4 that can be pre-ordered starting next Tuesday. If you don't have an iPhone yet or are toting around an older generation one like me, you should upgrade. I know, I know AT&T kind of sucks, but I swear it's worth it to suck it up for all the cool features of the phone.

Reading Scripts On The iPad

I'm resisting the urge to get an iPad right now (since I have a iPhone, Kindle and laptop it seems pointless), but I'm glad to know that if I do decide to get one at some point that there are ways to read scripts on it that are user-friendly and easy on the eyes. John August did a great post about a app he got for the iPad that allows him to read scripts, so if you or your boss might be getting one and want to read scripts on it, take a minute and check it out.

Podcastastic

It's always a good idea to listen to others talk about their craft. Even if you're already successful it can help you learn about new ways to approach things or maybe even inspire you. Chris Hardwick, a stand-up comedian, the host of Web Soup on G4, a successful blogger and technology writer now just added another thing to his plate - the Nerdist (that's the title of his blog) Podcast. Chris has had great guests (Drew Carey, Jon Hamm and others) so far talking about writing, comedy and various geeky things. If you get a chance you should check it out. If you enjoy Chris and all he has to offer, you can also follow him on twitter.

Proof That I Don't Only Care About the iPhone

Believe it or not you will use a Kindle app on a smartphone more than you think you might. I had my iPhone Kindle app and read a book on my iPhone before I ever got my full size Kindle and I found it useful. When you're at a location like the car wash reading a few pages of a book on something that size doesn't really bother your eyes at all (at least not mine). Amazon now has a Kindle app for the Blackberry, so if you have one of those you might want to check it out.

Apple Deals More Geek Crack

It will be no surprise to anyone that reads this blog that I so want the iPad from Apple. Seriously Apple stop dealing the Geek Crack, I'm obsessed with my iPhone enough as it is. Still debating if I am going to spend the money yet, but I WANT IT!! I hope Apple starts working on the iMan that I've been suggesting for months at some point soon.

iPod Powered By The Sun??

I'm a geek, so to me this is pretty cool.

Another Gadget For Me To Dream About

I love my iPhone I really do - well especially the non phone part of it, but the new Google Device, called The Nexus is making me want to stray a little. I'm usually not a cheater, but who knows what might happen now.

Nook Not Yet Ready For Prime Time

My fear of the Nook from Barnes and Noble being a far superior e-book reader and panic over the fact that I had just received a Kindle DX that cost more, seems to be unfounded. The Nook has some cool features, but this review in the New York Times makes it clear that the Kindle is a better device for now.

Iphone Killers?

If you ever read this blog you know that even with all the faults it has - I LOVE my iPhone. If you're sick of hearing about it and/or you or your boss is looking into getting a new device, check out this article from Trend Central that gives you details on a few cool options.

Computer Chic

I'm not sure why, but I really like this usb glass shelf that goes above a keyboard. It looks sleek, gives you an little extra space to put a few things you need at your disposal and provides you with a few extra usb ports if you need them. The shelf is not that expensive, so it would probably make a good holiday gift for the techie in your life.

Reading The New York Times In A Whole New Way

I love to be well informed and think it's helpful for work and in your personal life to know about the world around you. In my opinion the New York Times is the best paper around (sorry LA Times - you were once great). I read the New York Times online frequently and I recently read about a new idea the paper might be trying that will allow you to consume it in a different format. I love the paper as is, but I'm all for positive change and I'll be excited if they actually do implement this new online news reader.

Kinda Like A Little Sleeping Bag For My iPhone

Foofshop makes all kind of cute fabric holders for iPhones, iPods and other Apple devices. As far as I know, they are only available online. They actually take a bit of time to arrive, as they are from Australia. I love mine and I get a ton of compliments on it because it's not the same old boring typical case. Check them out if you get a minute.

I Know, I Know - ENOUGH with the Kindle Already

I know the recent deluge of posts regarding e-book readers (Kindle & Nook) might be getting annoying. I'm aware this blog isn't Gizmodo. The thing is that I love to share tech stories and tips and sometimes the geek in me takes over and says MUST BLOG REGARDING TECHNOLOGY and honestly the geeky part of my brain is scrappy, so I have to back down and do what it says. I do promise that this will most likely be the last post about e-readers for a bit -- barring any crazy exciting announcements. All of that lead in for the small but super cool new detail about the Kindle -- there will be a Kindle application for the PC coming soon! Click here to read all the awesome details.
