Geek gift.

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim. They picked up the Ambicom WL1100C-CF. Installing it was pretty easy, it found my AP right away and after a little configuration, I was off! On the other hand, using the Axim with the wireless card in runs down the battery quite a bit quicker than it does without it running. I suppose I expected that. I’ll have to be sure and adjust my usage accordingly and make sure I pull the card out after I download email and get the latest headlines from PocketFeed. It’ll be nice to have at Gnomedex, when I will be able to stay in touch with the office through email without having to lug my laptop around all day.

You too can go over to the The Columbus Dispatch and vote for your favorite. Obviously, my vote is a litle biased. 🙂 She becomes a finalist for the grand prize, and if…

  • Voter apathy

    Here’s a thought, maybe voter turnout isn’t low because of voter apathy. Maybe, just maybe, all those non-voters out there are simply waiting for a candidate to run who is actually worthy of our important vote. I can’t remember the last time a candidate was actually worth voting for, let alone taking the time and…

    Saw this post over at the J-Walk blog. Apparently, someone has decided to do a study of how much we all read blogs at work: Workers in the U.S will this year waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs, a study has suggested. Yup, all those tips, ideas, solutions, and general tech information that…
