Bluetooth Mouse... Not so good
I searched high and low for a Bluetooth Mouse to use with my MBP. I honestly went to about 10 different stores and looked a lot online. Some were too small, others uncomfortable. There aren't a whole lot of bluetooth mice to choose from in the first place. This is my review of the ones I did seriously consider. more...
Back to Mac
It's been 3 years, but I'm finally back. When I started my current job, I was handed a Dell D610 running Windows XP. What a piece of junk. It felt like a plastic toy (and so did the operating system :-) The Dell "business grade" laptop only supported 1024x768 resolution, and was as bulky as they come. After many months of using it, I managed to grab a T42 Thinkpad floating around. The construction of the Thinkpads has always been superior to other laptops I've used. They are true business-grade laptops. With the new X300 coming out, they are getting even more enticing. The only drawback I see is the operating system. If you like Windows or Linux on your laptop, you're set, buy an X series Thinkpad. If you like Mac, you only have one choice, buy a MacBook.

Incase Protective Cover
I bought the Incase Protective Cover for my iPod Touch. They retail for $29 which is kind of high considering they're just injection molded plastic. They come in many colors, and seem quite durable. The only drawback is they don't include a plastic cover for the front of the iPod Touch, you have to buy this separately and they run another $15 or so. So what I did was took the box the Incase cover came in, which had a plastic viewing window, and cut it out to fit inside the plastic Incase case. It fits perfectly, the only thing is the button at the bottom is sometimes hard to register a click. But other than that, it's a cheap alternative to spending $15 more on a plastic protective cover for the exposed face of the iPod Touch. more...
Apple iPod Touch Review
I bought a new iPod to help me pass the time on my way to work. I already have a BlackBerry so I didn't want to get the iPhone, so I took the plunge and tried the "pricey" iPod.
To be honest, this thing is sweet. The killer feature is the built in WiFi. I can use it as a browser when I have a wireless signal nearby. Great for surfing the web in airports, Starbucks, at work, and at home.

The Gateway FHD2400 is the best 24" LCD monitor out there. I compared this monitor to the 23" Apple Cinema Display, and to Dell's 24" 2407WFP-HC. The specs were all very close, yet the prices were very different.
I wanted a monitor that didn't look cheap, and I know you get what you pay for so I didn't want to buy a $300 24" monitor even though they're out there.
