News that our loyal tech-cake maker LilPeaPod still has not yet purchased a Kindle had me in a state of shock. According to Amazon, there's still a ton available, plus they've dropped the price to $359, yet she still doesn't have one. Why all the effort to produce a crazy-awesome Kindle cake if you weren't going to rush out and buy one the first chance you could.

I have come to realize how handy it is to have an iPhone attached to my hip at all times. Because of its fast Internet and cool apps, I can find almost anything, anytime, anywhere. But realistically, as awesome as it is, my iPhone can't tell me absolutely everything.

The other day I was headed home on the bus and I noticed a man passing the time with a DS lite. I was shocked at first, mostly because I am so used to seeing everyone zone out with their iPod or iPhone or sending emails on their smartphones.
I know only 31 percent of you have eBooks, which I presume is the most logical (or educational) commute gadget, but I want to know how you waste your to-and-fro time.

We're all familiar with the second iteration of the iPhone-inducing hysteria, frustration, and seemingly never-ending lines (as of yesterday, there was still a two-and-a-half-hour wait at the San Francisco flagship store), partially induced by fears of selling out and unavailability. One of my co-workers was unsure if he'd wait in the line last Friday, but when he heard it might sell out, that made up his mind: He had to have it.
Similarly, I'm painfully aware of Wii shortages — I always have a friend or family member who needs one — so I make a mental note to grab one from a store if I ever see one, which seems crazy, I know. I even had friends who camped out at the Sony store when the Playstation 3 debuted — not because they wanted one particularly, but because it was rumored to be in short supply and at the very least, they could sell them.

If you're tired of carrying around that same old lame nylon DS case everywhere you go, I have good news for you. There are other options besides the kiddie-fied cases that have pics of Yoshi and Mario on the front.
And trust me, once you get something a little more fashionable, you won't be as embarrassed to whip out your stylus on the bus and start gaming away.

Now that you're working out and pumping those muscles with games in preparation for your wedding that burn you feel in your shoulders may not just be the result of some power lifting, but stress.
And as I'm sure you know, between your workout regime, long hours at the office, and dealing with your mother-in-law to be's seating chart (that you didn't ask her for), you may be wanting to head for the hills. Thankfully, gadgets are not only good for playing games and calculating tip percentages, they can also be good for relieving stress.

I used to be really good at those arcade claw games. Like, way too many poorly made stuffed animals in my house sort of good. I'm pretty rusty these days, but I might have to start training again.
