I like this mile/step counter. Does a great job. small, unobtrusive, easy to use.

Both of my ScanDisk Micro flash drives fit nicely in this case without forcing and without bulking the case out. I’m pleasantly surprised at the feel of the durability of the little clip hook at the top, and the plastic pockets that hold the drives will serve their purpose well enough.

If your flash drives are the size of the ScanDisk Micro, you’ll likely find this case will work well for you. Flash drives even a little over 2″ X 3/4″ x 3/8″, could be a tight squeeze for width and thickness. You can get by with going over on the 2″ length by up to another 1/2″, and two drives will still fit in the case.

I use this cable to connect my laptop (HP Envy 15) to my TV (Samsung 720p). The picture is crisp and clear, and the cable looks and feels high quality. I couldn’t ask for more from it.

I’ve been through several iterations of travel surge suppressors and like this style the best. I’ve only had the Tripp Lite version for several weeks, but it seems identical other than in color to the Innerex one I used for several years.

You’d be surprised how many outlets are not grounded when you travel, so it’s definitely worth spending 10-20 dollars on a travel surge suppressor to protect the hundreds or thousands you spent on your laptop. (A much better ROI than any investment in the market currently!)

Besides the small size, light weight, 2 indicator lights, 2 protected outlets, and 2 protected ethernet ports, the biggest advantage of this type of surge protector for a frequent traveler is that the plug prongs are retractable so that they don’t take up extra space in your case or damage anything else.

However the retractable plug is probably also the biggest downside since it can be hard to get the plug to stay out when you are plugging into a tight outlet, and the button to control the plug retraction eventually broke on my Innerex version of this surge protector, rendering it useless.

Be warned – this surge suppressor is only for 120V current, so you cannot use it in most places overseas.

Let’s start with the fact that this book is an American Classic. It deals with the coming of age of Holden Caulfied, a completely incoragable young man who is not always likeable. That’s the thing that sucks you in. This kid swears, smokes, lies, gets kicked out of school, etc. etc. Not exactly the kind of book I want my teenager reading, but in the end, the story all comes together.
***Possible Spoilers***
Holden is quite intuitive and really sees the underbelly of human nature and the false bravado with which adults live their lives. He, of course, is full of false bravado himself (the scene with the hooker shows that). He calls them like he sees them, even at the expense of others.
Is Holden a hero to teens or a rebel without a cause? The answer lies in your own interpretation of this story. Give it a try.

I got this mostly for the fact that it has Nike+ built in. But I LOVE my iPod touch. 32gb is the PERFECT size for me, I have tons of room to do what I want on it, the apps are great, and I got a REALLY great price on Amazon. This is my 2nd iPod touch, I had a first gen and wasn’t that impressed with what they offered for it. The only real way was to jailbreak it back then, but now with the app store you have tons free apps and nicely done paid apps. My favorite one right now being the “kindle” you can have on it! The one thing I was kind of disappointed about is the speaker isn’t very loud at all. It was on the first gen, but this ones seems to be on the quiet side. Other then that I just love it. I will probably keep this one until the day it stops working!

Ok…so it’s not the most stylish piece of equipment but boy does it perform as advertised. The Garmin windshield mount is better than any on the market but even it has it’s moments where it can fall from the window at a bad time. The Garmin friction mount is simple and works great. I’ve slid pretty fast around some corners in my Silverado and the wife’s Pilot with this on the dash and it stayed right place. Quick and easy to stash in the console vs. the windshield mount as well.
