Someday my prints will come
Hey, you knew I liked bad puns, right? Well, if you didn’t for some reason, consider this lesson number one: I like bad puns.

Printers, eBooks, SmartTVs, Laptops, Tablets and Romance…
A busy day here — both in the office and out and about. Firstly, at CNET, a review of a larger-than-normal printer: Canon Pixma iX6550: “The iX6550 isn’t awash with features, but those after a somewhat compact A3 printer should find it good value.” Then at Geekspeak, two columns covering the rise of the eBook …

Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Astonishing what iTunes throws up on random some days to make up my subject lines. Hadn’t thought about that song in years. I’m willing to bet you haven’t either… And that’s as good a random segue as any into today’s articles. Firstly, online. At CNET.com.au I dip into notebook territory: Asus UL50Vt: “The UL50Vt’s black …

Now let's get right on down to the skit…
A little De La Soul to finish out a busy week. Albeit De La Soul laced with a little Philly soul courtesy of Messrs Oates and Hall… While I’ve been busy banging the Movember drum so hard it’s nearly shattered, I’ve also been scribing the odd word here and there. First of all, a new …
I'm the genius behind me…
And I missed all kinds of stuff of mine that went live over the last day or so. Or in some cases, week or so. Some genius I turned out to be… First up, MacTheBlog has my analysis of some… rather odd reliability figures: MacTheBlog: Rotten Apples?“Yes, I know there are elements of the Apple …
Take the time to listen to the collective heartbeat…
It’s not just the growing of fancy Mo’s that I’ve been busy with this week. Oh no. I’ve been writing and testing and reviewing and writing and testing and reviewing and writing and… You get the idea. At CNET.com.au, there’s these two rather contrasting products: WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB: “Western Digital’s 1TB Passport …

And you've got to fight on…
A busy day here at Alexkidman.com. And I’ve yet to update my daily Movember photo and details, even.. (subtle….) Anyway, CNET.com.au has another of my reviews up: Laser DVBT-MP32 Multimedia Plus: “It’s not the prettiest PMP on the block, but the inclusion of digital TV support makes the MP32 a great little gadget.” And MacTheBlog …
Happiness at the misfortune of others. That is German!
It’s not all sunshine and roses reviewing stuff. Sometimes, you get products that it’s just plain impossible to really get on with. A minor case of that today at GadgetGuy.com.au: Apple Magic Mouse: “Apple’s Magic Mouse has the advantages of multi-touch and more than just a dab of Apple’s distinctive design style, but it’s also …

Just the facts, ma'am…
Too tired. Too many screaming children, puddles of sick and lack of sleep. And reviews at CNET.com.au: Sangean DPR-69 Plus: “Sangean’s cute DRP-69 Plus isn’t quite portable or desk bound, and isn’t quite sharp enough to make it a must-have DAB.” Lexmark Interact S605: “Lexmark’s S605 carries a premium price, but the clever touchscreen features …
Let's get physical…
If you asked people an attribute they’d use to describe me, I’d be willing to bet that “fit” “physical” or “gym junkie” wouldn’t appear anywhere on most people’s lists. Which might seem to suggest that getting me to review fitness titles for the Wii* is a very bad idea. Arguably, it’s a stroke of genius. …
