Long time, no tweet! I finally came up with an idea for my phrind.com domain, and its for kids. 5 2009/12/02
Time flies when you're not having fun. Anyway, found a great deal on 4-port USB 2.0 hubs with a power supply at Walmart. Red tagged at US$15 5 2009/07/12
As always, I endeavor to continue on no matter what. I know I have a lot of loyal readers, but it would be nice to hear from you on occasion 5 2009/06/25
I'm holding on as well as I can, which isn't very well. This economy is eating my family alive, but them's are the breaks. 5 2009/06/25
You can't get the whole app. Just one window. That's stupid. 5 2009/06/10

Toshiba Shipping Universal Lappy Dock

November 28th, 2008 | Tags: CES, technology | Category: General News | Leave a comment

For US$150 you can get a new Toshiba dynadock U Universal USB Docking Station which features DisplayLink technology which is growing in popularity. The idea is to plug a single USB cable into your lappy and get access to all of the ports on the dock, including an external monitor. I’ve not had occassion yet to [...]

Cheaper COD4: Modern Warfare

I haven’t gotten my copy yet, but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is supposed to be supah hawt! I played through 90% of Call of Duty 2 for the Mac, but had an OS issue and I lost my save file. Feh. Regardless, COD2 on a MacBook Pro is more phenomenal than you can believe, [...]

The Dojo Black Friday Gadget Guide

November 27th, 2008 | Tags: Hot Deals | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Welcome to the first (and not last by a long shot) Black Friday Gadget Guide to the best deals you can find online and in brick & mortar stores. This year, in particular, will be a special Black Friday due primarily to the crappy economy. Retailers and manufacturers eager to build mountains of cash out of molehills of consumers willing to spend said cash are striking some amazing deals, and I’m going to unveil as many of them as I can. So, here we go (in no specific order):

Best Buy’s Doorbusters Deals page – Check out the HP G50 lappy and Canon 3-in-1 printer for just US$349.
Sony’s 4GB Walkman Video for US$49.99 at Circuit City. This is one hot little non-Apple gadget which is quite highly rated and looks nice in red.
Kohl’s (I know, I know) has a Samsung 8.1MP digital minicam for a measly US$80 and an unspecified 3.5″ GPS unit (looks like Garmin) for US$80 after a US$20 mail-in-rebate. (If you’re outside of the Los Angeles region, start here. NOTE: The GPS deal in on the first page of the catalog)
Apple isn’t revealing anything until the actual day starts. Keep an eye on the Apple store and here’s a link to Apple’s own teaser page.
Walmart has an XBOX 360 Arcade Edition, a game bundle, and Guitar Hero III with a wireless axe for a paltry US$199, and you have to hit the store to get it.
Walmart is also sporting a Samsung 40″ 1080p LCD panel for a tiny US$798. Sure, its only got two HDMI inputs, but if you’re budgeting gadg’ this year, this is one hell of a buy.

Check after the jump for some more deals on more stuff!

Good morning and blessings to you and your family for a happy Thanksgiving.

MacPadd Anodizes The Mouse Pad

November 24th, 2008 | Tags: Cool Tools | Category: Cool Tools | Leave a comment

Its a mouse pad, but its not your average, work-a-day plastic mouse pad. This one is forged from the same kind of anodized aluminium which is used to make MacBook Pros. Yeah. That’s actually kinda cool, and at US$25 each, its not as costly as you [...]
