Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector w/ USB
I had this conversation in chat this morning…

He wouldn’t shut up about it, but I couldn’t get him to bother to write it all up for a review, either.

So, by the miracle of chat transcripts, here’s more-or-less a guest review — the hard way…


heh… just got this…

dude. it’s sweet

3 surge protected outlets and 2 usb ports

i shoulda bought two… 1 for travel and 1 for the imac

this belkin surge protector is brilliant… the 3 prongs can rotate 360 degrees to get you into pretty much any wall outlet configuration

bbiam. gotta shut this off so i can plug the protector in

absolutely brilliant… a usb charging hub and a surge protector…. with a lifetime warranty and will cover up to $75000 if it fails.

i shoulda bought 3… 2 for me, 1 for you

this is blog-able.

there are a number of belkin products i don’t like, but this one seems hard to **** up and if it does it’s job… i’ll be very happy.

damn. i am going to have to get another one.

just thinking back to that last trip and how much of a pain in the ass it was just to find an outlet… let alone find one where i could plug my phone and laptop and the cradle in all at once

i like the 2 usb ports… b/c i won’t have to carry around a usb brick for the phone or an ipod

Sounds pretty nifty, actually. Who knows, maybe he’ll actually get me one…

Belkin OmniView SOHO DVI/USB KVM Switch ReviewWell, there’s a mouthful of acronyms for you.  For those unfamiliar, a KVM switch is a device to switch a Keyboard, Video monitor, and Mouse between several computers.  DVI in this case stands for “Digital Visual Interface”, a standard for connecting computers to (mostly) LCD monitors, and of course USB is Universal Serial Bus and SOHO stands for “Small Office - Home Office”. Regular readers may recall that a short time back I ended up replacing a dying old Viewsonic 19” CRT with the excellent Princeton VL1916 19” LCD monitor.  Well, of course one thing leads to another, and I decided that it’d be convenient to be able to use this with both my desktop and my PowerBook. I’ve used...


Cheaper Treo 650sPalmOne has lowered the price of unlocked Treo 650s by $50, bringing it down to $649 for those who want to buy a phone without a plan and without getting locked into a carrier. There are also several $100 rebate and discount deals out there now, making it possible to buy a 650 (with strings attached) down into the $100 - $200 range if you really hunt around and aren't afraid to commit to a contract. On the other hand, Treos without a service plan from somebody don't do much good (it's not wedge-shaped enough to be a good doorstop, a little large for a paperweight, and seriously underweight for a boat anchor), so I'm usually willing to take a...


Upgrading to TigerOkay, I’ve updated a bunch of my applications, fixed all of my permissions, and cloned my hard drive to my external drive. Next step—an “Archive & Install” of Tiger. If I’m not back in 24 hours, send the posse....  ...


OS X Tiger gets shipdate and $30 Deal Apparently the official ship date for Apple’s Mac OS X version 10.4 (aka “Tiger") has been set for April 29th.  I’m torn between being anxious, and cautious… On the other hand, you can now order the Family 5 Pack for $199, and get a $50 rebate—bringing home a new OS for everyone in the house for $30 a head… Okay, so I only need three of them, but that’s still a great deal, compared to about $150 a shot for copies of XP Pro… Here’s a list of the new features in Tiger. ...


Beerfest (Review)I first became acquainted with the comedy troupe Broken Lizard in Super Troopers (2002) -- a movie I expected nothing from (and had to be cajoled into watching), and which has turned out to be one of my all-time favorite comedies. Their second outing, Club Dread (2004) was a reasonably competent, but ultimately predictable and unmemorable horror spoof -- not a bad little film, mind you, but it didn't have any of the chemistry and timing that made Super Troopers worth sitting through time and again. Beerfest, their latest effort, comes quite a bit closer to the mark. It's still no Super Troopers, but the ensemble chemistry is working much better, the plot (as sophomoric as it might be) is...
