Its Fing cold. Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Gloves Make It Better.

December 8th, 2009

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Gloves - Men's

No joke, between my wife and I we have probably bought 10 pairs of
Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Gloves. They are not wind proof but they keep your hands warm and (more importantly) dry. The best part is you don’t sacrifice dexterity. I wear them any time I am in the cold.

I have a wool pair that I have not been able to find anywhere but the Columbia employee store. Love those to but I am not sure they shed water as well.

FYI, I pair of these will make cheap ass ski/snowboarding gloves into winners.

This was totally a weekend impulse buy with shaky justification.

I have been looking at the pyrex lens on my SureFire 6P and really hoping that I don’t one day scratch it. Not that a scratch our reduce its performance in any meaningful way. Additionally, Its not the sort of thing that really comfortable in your pocket.

iPhone 3G S Review

July 6th, 2009

A few weeks ago I posted about ordering the iPhone 3G S. Now that I have had some time playing with it I can give a bit of a review.

iPhone 3G S First Impressions
The first thing you notice, at least when upgrading, is a significant increase in speed. It seems like load times are significantly reduced. The iPhone does not multi-task, meaning it does not run multiple apps at the same time. On the S model switching apps feels like switching apps where on the original 3G it feels like closing one and opening another.

Just found this:

Because its the second one I have found I am starting a deals page.

Update: This is expired. If you are really desperate you could try, but knowing that the people over at REI are sharp, the coupon is probably expired.
