Who says you need a laptop for extra storage when traveling? Just take your Samsung Galaxy Tab and this storage adapter and you are set. It works with SD cards and external hard drive too (I haven’t tested that). I bought it from Amazon.com for $11

I got my Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM lens last month from Amazon.com. I fell in love with some of the pictures I saw online that’s why I picked it instead of the more expensive Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. With my initial review, I really thought I received a good copy. Then I started [...]

We gave this to her as a new year’s gift. This is the only thing she asked for. It’s her first kick scooter so we are all excited for her. This is the Style N’ Ride Scooter made by Radio Flyer. I was gonna get her the three-wheel version but I don’t think she needs [...]

Picked up the bike today at GoRide Bicycles in Redwood City. I like this store. Service is great and the staff are friendly. We were originally looking to get her a Cannondale Synapse and also got her fitted on a Trek Madone but ended up on this awesome bike. I ordered a Cannondale Synapse online [...]

Just arrived. Here’s my new Kinetic Rock And Roll Trainer by Kurt. Also purchased the Turntable Riser Ring to allow the front wheel to steer. We are getting ready for winter. No more excuses

My daddy says Apple and Steve Jobs is scared of this tablet because it kills iPads.

Finally got the perfect tent for our family of four – Eureka Sunrise 9. I love the dome design. Screen window on all sides. Good ventilation – 2 in roof and 1 with high/low on the door. It has plenty of storage and very roomy inside. Our king bed fits just fine with more room [...]

Just got my Garmin Edge 500 in the mail. The Edge model is designed specifically for cycling and better overall. Can’t wait to use it.

To be tested under the heat of the sun in Laguna Seca on tomorrow’s Sea Otter Classic races. The belt and the bag is pretty solid and very well made. The gears: Pro Speed Belt v2.0 – to hold the lens bags LC 75 Pop Down – this will holster my 80-200mm lens LC 15 [...]

Just picked it up today. It’s a women specific bike in stunning purple color. It’s only 18.5 lbs. Pretty light for a beginner bike. She’s already tested it to the hill I used to go for warming up. Hmmm…

“Think…k”

I bought this on Ebay just to test it out. This China made speaker is actually not too bad… it does sounds like a $5 speaker to me By the way, this speaker doesn’t use any battery and will work with the ipod touch as well.

Yes! I just received my new camera strap that will replace my old LowePro neck strap. Just in time for the car show tonight. I originally stumbled upon this R-Strap back in October 2010. The RS-7 is the latest strap by BlackRapid that features an ergonomically designed shoulder pad and a more secure d-ring. We’ll [...]

Recently, my OEM power adapter for my Macbook Pro was no longer functioning properly. I thought this thing was built like a tank and I praise it daily over my notebooks’ power adapter. Sadly, just like the other adapters, this one is also not a child proof. It means, it’s not protected from kids who [...]

The most awaited, award winning and exclusive simulation racing game on PS3, the Gran Turismo 5 will be released on Wednesday, November 24, 2010. It is the most advanced Gran Turismo yet, featuring unrivaled graphics and a true-to-life driving feel. I was going to line up on the eve of the release date but it’s [...]

After weeks of product comparison and contemplation, my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on the Croozer 535, a 3-in-1 bicycle trailer. It seems like the market for bicycle trailer is very small. So you will either get something good or worthless. Anything in between is still questionable. I’m not saying you have [...]

Yet again, I pulled the trigger today on a Santa Cruz Superlight mountain bike. I got it from Sun Bike Shop in Milpitas and I have to give two thumbs up for my first purchase experience with them.  I was initially just going to replace my frame but since my wife needed a bike anyway, [...]

I just pulled the trigger on the new, the hottest, the best Droid yet, the smartest and sexiest 3G phone in the planet of earth, the HTC Droid Incredible! I was waiting for the Nexus but it’s still MIA (and I’m glad it’s not available yet). Verizon is still courting Steve Jobs for the iPhone [...]
