Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-i
June 13th, 2008About two months ago my beloved alarm clock finally gave up on life. Finding something to appropriately wake me from my dreams is always a bit of a challenge. (My dreams tend to keep me in something of what most people might confuse to be a coma.) So having something that not only sounds excellent, [...]
Last-minute Father’s Day idea
June 12th, 2008If you’re still on the hunt for something to get good old Dad this Sunday, then maybe consider these Sennheiser RS120 wireless headphones. I own some and mowing the lawn has been a lot more fun the last couple years. The range is great and has three different bands in case there is interference on [...]
No more commercials!
June 10th, 2008It seems like everything is about convenience these days. One convenience that I don’t believe I could live without is the TiVo DVR I’ve had for about a year now. You really don’t realize how many commercials there are until you watch a program without them. A typical 60 minute program takes about 45 minutes [...]
Samsung 2008 – a vendor show to remember
June 10th, 2008I have just returned from “The Big Easy”, where Samsung held their 2008 key dealer show.

Or when we watch those war movies we want to be gripping on to the couch for dear life. Well to feel these [...]
Feedback on Canon Repair Service
June 9th, 2008The following is my description of me dropping my Canon camera lens by accident: As the lens was dropping to the ground my perception of time slowed to a crawl.

Denon AH-C351K Earbuds
June 4th, 2008Like most people I listened to the uncomfortable white earbuds that came packaged with my iPod for years. Not knowing any better I thought they sounded fine, though they occasionally fell out of my ears if I moved too quickly. Once I started working at OneCall and got introduced to the world of high end [...]
