Beautiful Protection For Your iPad

heathaplexvision — Wed, 26 May 2010 22:16:07 +0000

I am a big fan of form and function and certainly could not pass up the opportunity to showcase a fantastic product. If you are an iPad owner, I can only assume you want the best protection possible. So why not add a little beauty and refinement to complete the entire package? Enter the DODOCase. For $49.95 you can yourself a moleskin look-a-like case for you iPad. The tablet actually sits in a precision cut bamboo shell. The entire case is finished off with a faux-leather look can feel. Just like one of those ever-popular moleskin journals. If you are interested in buying one for yourself, check out their website a www.dodocase.com. The only thing I can find wrong with this product is the 4-6 weeks for production and shipping. Oh well….I still think it is worth the wait.

Are You Hiding Your Gadget Purchases?

I know there’s a few of you out there that made gadget purchases online behind your spouse or loved one’s back. Some of you are able to pull off some amazing, behind the back, secret purchases in true museum heist fashion, but eventually you’ll all get caught. At some point you’ll slip up, forget to cover your tracks or get caught using your new device too early. If you are new at this game you need to do your homework before you attempt to pull of a stunk like this. Some of the biggest rookie mistakes are: using your loved-ones computer without erasing your online history, using a debit card that both of you have access to online or having the item delivered when your significant other is at home. As an amateur, you need to work through these scenarios in order to be a first-rate, behind-the-back, tech acquisitioner. However, I will offer you another approach…

Tell your mate about your purchases! Why go through all the hiding and tactics, the late night Amazon purchases, or even worse, using credit cards and bank accounts that only you know about? Honesty seems to always prevail in these sudden, yet vulnerable urges to buy the latest and greatest gadgets. Effectively argue your case to have this toy and help your better half see your point of view. You never know…they may want it just as bad as you! Perhaps your true art is convincing them they want it as bad as you do. I’ve found that by divulging my greatest wants, needs, and desires with anything related to new gadgets is far less risky than pulling a “Sneakers” behind my spouse’s back. Trust me….I’ve made plenty of mistakes and ended up paying more in the end. Mostly in the form of flowers, spa treatments and bathroom cleaning duty. You get the picture. Forget all the sneaking around and intercepting the FedEx guy a block away just so he doesn’t pull up in front of your house. I’ve done this people! Put it all on the table for everyone to see and discuss. Who knows, once your toy is in your possession, your loved one may enjoy it just as much as you in the long way. And remember, you new toy is sure to go out of style or be updated in less than a week. And then you’ll have to ask yourself, “What is worth it?” I’m sure some of you are nodding your heads up and down right now. If you have a great tactic you’ve used effectively or a colossal failure, tell us your story. We’d all love to hear about your successes and learn from your mistakes. Happy Tech Shopping People!

Harmony for Everyone

heathaplexvision — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:34:49 +0000

I’ve been a big fan of Logitech’s Harmony Universal remotes for a long time….even before Logitech owned the product line. I’ve owned two of these magical devices and still manage to “Wow” my friends with this incredible device. However, the price range was not fit for just anybody with some units costing you anywhere from $100-$300. But, because I am a geek, I bought one anyway and I can proudly say I’m still impressed with how easy it was to setup and how easy it is to use. Today, I am happy to share that Logitech has released a new Harmony remote that will only set you back $49.99. This is truly a great day for everyone! How easy is this remote to use? Simply download their free software to any computer, plug the remote into your computer with the supplied USB cable, tell the computer what equipment it has, answer a few questions and then hit “Update.” In just a few minutes this remote can completely program itself to run over 5000 different pieces of equipment and do all the magic it took multiple remotes to do. For example, when I hit the Watch DVD button, it turns on my TV, ensures it is on the correct input, turns on my receiver, sets the correct receiver input, turns on my DVD player and starts playing. No more messing with complicated macro functions or programming. If for some reason it doesn’t do what you want, you hit the help button and it walks you through the process of correctly turning on your devices…..it couldn’t be easier! So, if you are tired of gluing all your remotes to a piece of plywood and calling it your universal remote command center and want to get rid of all those bad boys, you may want to check out the Logitech Harmony 300. It is certain to be a great device for your home theater at a price point that is attractive to just about everyone. Check out the article from Engadget.com for more information.
