The Gorillapod Focus is a tripod designed for professional-grade cameras. Unlike most tripods that have rigid legs, the Gorillapod has flexible, yet sturdy legs, allowing you to, for instance, wrap the tripod around a post, or fold it up into an interesting shape.

I’ve seen numerous things hook up to your USB port. Heck, I had a fishtank at one time. But a dog that works out to maintain washboard abs?
Does it do anything else? Nope. It’s not even a flash drive. It’s just a dog that does sit-ups. Well, at least it doesn’t hump your computer like [...]

Since I parted ways with Creative Weblogging, and I liked some of the fringe benefits of writing for a gadgets blog, I decided I had better start my own: Joy of Gadgets.

While a lot of the guys that blog about Nokia are heading off to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I am going to Ottawa. Since I don’t work for that part of Nokia, I wasn’t invited to MWC. Instead, I get to go learn about a new product we are releasing in the Network [...]

One of the things I hate about traveling to Ottawa is that there is no direct flights from Seattle. Last time I went, I avoided the dreaded O’Hare airport by flying through Vancouver there and Toronto on the way back. This time, no such luck.
While Chicago O’Hare has no shortage of places to eat–something I [...]

A writer at c’t had asked if they could use my Netscape photo from 1997, pictured left, in their magazine. I gave them permission provided they sent me a copy of the magazine.
Earlier on Saturday, I got a copy of c’t in the mail. Sure enough, there’s the article on Netscape (in German) and [...]
