  • HTC Star Trek is the RAZR Killer

  • Setting up WAP and GPRS

    Every phone has a whole series of WAP and GPRS settings to get data to work. The SIM card lets voice traffic work, but for some strange reason, the WAP and GPRS settings are completely separate, so for each phone you own, you have to go to the Internet and figure out both how to…

  • Tour de France

    Well Lance isn’t in it this year and just about every major star (Ivan Basso, Jan Ulrich, Vino, etc.) are out on a doping scandal, so its been interesting following things. See it on Tour de France 2006 blog for blog commentary. “Yahoo”:http://sports.yahoo.com/sc also has good coverage with particularly easy to find “photos”:http://sports.yahoo.com/sc

  • United EQM and EQS Explained

    United has a very strange system for calculating mileage if you are a Mileage Plus member, basically, if you are a United 100K traveler, then any ticket you book from full-far economy to first class and even including discounted business is counted as 150% of your actual mileage flow for the purposes of getting to…

  • Blackberry and RedBerry in China

    “Dan Harris”:http://www.chinalawblog.com/chinalawblog/2006/04/blackberry.html notes that Blackberry will be in China in the middle of this year with its own Blackberry. About time.

Getting Started with the right bootloader * “Software”:http://www.mark-world.tv/motorola/page1.html. First off, he tells you about all the software you need. A key piece is going looking…

  • Kids Bikes

    Time once again to look at bikes for that interesting age between 9 and 13 where the standover height is about 26″ !

  • Why doesn’t Apple sell in China?

    “Apple”:http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html sells in 50 countries, but for some reason they don’t sell in China where the darn things are made. How depressing. They do sell in Hong Kong though, but I don’t know how computer imports are sold. If you do ship into China your own Apple, “Fedex”:http://www.fedex.com/us/international/irc/profiles/irc_cn_profile.html?gtmcc=us has a good site that summarize the…

  • Next set of Canon lenses

    Now that I’ve settled into the new Canon Digital Rebel XT, the net is that the flash is nice, the camera doesn’t feel so tiny anymore and the reviews are right, having a F/4 lense really is an issue for indoor shooting. I love the 24-105mm lense for general shooting but really could use F/2.8.…
