Flip Mino HD Review!

Just about 30 minutes ago the UPS driver dropped me a Flip Mino HD. I pulled it out of its case turned it towards me and recorded this video. I then plugged the camera into my USB port and used the FlipShare application that resides on the camera and added a couple of titles to the video and pushed it to YouTube.

Gunnar Optiks Glasses Review

Nearly two week ago I received a set of glasses from Gunnar Optiks that are being touted by the company as being digital performance eyewear. Which as you use them is supposed to relieve a lot of the effects many of us get by sitting in front of the computer for hours at a time.

Solar Panel Technology Continues to Develop

Holiday Toys

I'm starting to put my list together for Santa for the holidays. Yes, Geeks can have dreams too! Starting off, I've already purchased some things for the kids, including Sansa 8 gb MP3 players. These sweet little units are as powerful as the iPod without the costly risk of replacement when they get banged around too much. While I would

If You Can’t Get Them to Come to You…

Then you should come to them! That's Sears' stand, anyway. After a terribly failed attempt last year to get people to join their online community, which was just a glorified way to spread their advertising, they have found a new tactic. Users of Facebook can now "become a fan" of Sears, and get a $5 gift card for their trouble.
