Meet the Sony Vaio Signature Collection CS390 Notebook – with faux crocodile skin and gold accents it’s really unique. Personally I am not lining up for this laptop but with only 300 in production it creates a sense of need (right?). At 2.8Ghz with dual core processor it features a 14.1 xBrite Sony screen supports to 8GB of ram and 400GB harddrive. Starting at $779 it can reach $1800+ with blu-ray and other add-ons.

My gut feel is that…

At first glance the Vibram FiveFingers shoe design is a little creepy (my wife gave a veto just now). These shoes fit over your feet and look like your feet! The design takes a minimalist approach to barefooting. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles protect your feet and provide a sure grip over a variety of terrain. A thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric fits low on the foot—for comfort and quick drying. I like them!

The Sevylor K2 River XDS Inflatable Kayak is amazing. Recently, I was able to able to do a test drive in Redondo Beach, CA  (thanks to my brother buying one). The concept is to put this 52 lb.folded boat in your trunk and take to a river or ocean, inflate and have a great time. This is not one of those cheap pool toys but a high performance $1000 river kayak that can handle rapids.

As HD video continues to take control of our lives (HDTV, Blu-Ray, Computers) you are going to need more of these HDMI cables and apparently not are all equal. The original cable vs. gold plated (new one).

Now let me preface that I am not an expert on HDMI so if you are please comment below and encourage the feedback.…

My Apple iPhone 3G is always running out of battery life and many vendors are catching on to the add-on market for portable battery extensions. In this post I review my top 5 favorite designs and assume many more exist that are great but still on the drawing table right now. In researching this I came across a page at Apple that basically says turn off 3G, wi-fi, lower brightness, turn off push mail… get serious…

I was talking with my brother Mark about his new Bluetooth headset and asked him to share his findings. He was frustrated with cell phone headsets and have to say I am too!

I recently purchased the Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset for use with my Blackberry Curve. I love it! Worth the $99 . My top criteria were; sound quality/noise cancelling, fit/comfort and talk time.

Sound quality/noise:
I was getting complaints about road noise when I made…

As a pool owner, cleaning the pool is not fun. The new Polaris 3900S Automated Pool cleaner has a sleek design like a Porsche and Hummer Like aggressive power to all 3 wheels for achieving a clean pool. Let me preface, I had the Polaris 360 (most advanced pressure side cleaner w/o booster) and worked great until recently I retired it.

Although I have not decided on a automatic pool cleaner replacement (intheswim.com) I noticed the new…
