Garmin Nüvi
(01 February 2006) - I have a pretty good sense of direction, but every time I visit LA I become navigationally challenged—especially when it comes to trying to avoid the traffic. This trip (I've been here for 3 days, now) has been a breeze thanks to the Garmin Nüvi I've been demoing. The Nüvi ia a touch-screen GPS device that's small, light and pretty easy to use. All...

Caffeine Finder
(31 October 2005) - Everyone knows there's a significant overlap between the information junkies and caffeine cravers. To assist the mobility of this hyper set, Grey Stripe has created the Caffeine Finder for BlackBerry users. With over 45,000 U.S. locations mapped and reviewed plus way-finding features for GPS enabled Berries (Nextel), this free little app seems like a must-have. It even includes the ability to read and write...

Keep Your Eyes on the Road
(13 May 2005) - Sony's latest in-car GPS unit, the NVXYZ777, displays a 3D rendering of the streets and buildings of Tokyo. This high resolution touch screen device also has 30GB of storage and is capable of playing back audio and video files potentially making it a complete media solution. While this thing looks amazing and I absolutely want one, I'm afraid I might watch it more than...

Message in a Bottle
(02 June 2004) - On 25th May 2004, fifty bottles with messages inside them were released into the sea off the south east coast of England near Ramsgate Maritime Museum. Their intended destination is 800km East of mainland New Zealand: the Chatham Islands (the exact opposite side of the globe from where they were released). These bottles are different, however, because they also have GPS transmitters in them....

Cellphones Made Easy
(05 June 2003) - In today's NY Times Circuits, David Pogue reviews low end cell phones. It's a pretty good overview of the most basic phones on the market. And, as always, it has Pogue's witty tone. I like the Seussian opener: Red phones, blue phones, Cellphones, new phones! Look at all the things they do: This one has a camera, too. One has built-in G.P.S., One plays Tetris,...

Doggy Lo-Jack
(26 April 2003) - An Electronic Tag for the Peripatetic Pet, published recently in the New York Times, provides a nice overview of the benefits of microchipping your dog (or cat). It sounds a bit creepy, but the benefits are worth it. It does remind me, however, of the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System that was oh so hyped in the 80s....
