Some believe that technology is better left at home while one is attending formal events.

Geek Chic Part 2: The Right Headphones… (A lot like Finding the Right Boyfriend)

   
In my previous posts on the subject, I have compared headphones to boyfriends. This metaphor lives on.
Crappy headphones are easy to come by.

A Coffee Shop that BANS Electronics?

Coffee shops are filled with tech- students doing homework and on their laptops, people checking their blackberries… I’ve never heard of a coffee shop where all of this is banned.
This “Tech Free Oasis,” Virgil’s house in Saratoga Springs, NY (15 minutes away from where I live now) has instated a policy that reads:

SkyMall. You know you <3 it.

I’ve been traveling a lot lately.
This is a good thing. Especially since it means that I get to peruse SkyMall a lot more (on my trip back to Atlanta from Syracuse I was fortunate enough to look through the Holiday catalog).
From a techyness standpoint, SkyMall provides a lot of laughs. What kills me is how [...]
