Question of the day

Posted in:

I have a bunch of mailers that I need to upload, but until then here’s your question…

You may have noticed the news feed in the center column about Treos and Blackberries. I put that there because so many of my subscribers spend a lot of time on the road, particularly during session, and many of them have those gadgets, as do I.

I want to do a little more along these lines, perhaps bring somebody in to do a regular post on technology and gadgets.

I scan through several tech/gadget sites/blogs during the course of the week, but I’m wondering if you have a favorite site.

  1. Slashdot, Slashdot, Slashdot…although some of their posts can be off-topic/geekiness.

    I also like Ars Technica, Major Geeks and Extreme Tech as sites.

  2. Use Bill O’Brien (ex “Bill” of “Alice and Bill”; ex Computer Shopper” columns)

    Web address is “TechNudge”, which is Bill’s blog.

    http://www.technudge.com/

    Guy’s a true techie, and can put it down in English.

  6. A good “introduction” to gadgets can be had through pcmagazine.com; cnet.com; technetonline.com There are many that are more geek style techie but these help set the standards of gadgets through trials and reviews.

    (for “green” electronics)

  8. Couple sites that I think are good for tech and politics.

    http://www.politicsandtechnology.com/
    Dem internet consulting firm that posts occassionally on the tech side, not the partisan.

    Think this one is non-partisan, but not sure. Big fan of the site and they focus a lot on mobile technology.

  10. Just bought a Blackberry Saturday. Managed to sync my contacts and schedule from my PC. I am very happy about this.

    Getting online with the Blackberry seems a lot of work for me, a Mac user. How the @#*&$#@! do you type your passwords onto this thing without wondering if you did it right?

    Maybe next week I’ll be happy with the online features. This week has been a challenge.

  11. I like expert geeks to do the testing for me and read their results. I like CNET for a synopsis of the latest and greatest.

  12. Rich, love the new colors on this site. It makes for easier reading for these old eyes.

  13. www.lifehacker.com is by far the best
