Review: Energizer iPower Protective Case/Battery for iPhone Blog - Technology Reviews Written by Dean Neitman    Sunday, 03 January 2010 18:34 There are dozens and dozens of case offerings for the iPhone these days. Options for external batteries are growing as well. What to choose? If you are me, you get what's cheap and try to look for reputable brand names. That's why the Energizer name immediately caught my attention. They have always had a good name in batteries and when I seen a sale price of $19.99 from original $79.99, that was enough for me to give it a try. Product Features Pass-Through USB: Charge and sync your iPhone 3G & 3G S to iTunes without removing it from the iPower via the included USB cable Charging: You can use the included USB cable to charge the iPower and iPhone simultaneously or just charge the iPower.

Review: Sony MDR-EX36V Headphones Blog - Technology Reviews Written by Dean Neitman    Monday, 14 December 2009 07:32 I finally dropped a few bucks to grab some new headphones, the Sony MDR-EX36V EX Earbud Headphones. I use headphones quite a bit due to work these days. I work in a noisy office environment which can be very distracting when trying to be creative or focus on a project so listening to music is my way to escape into another world more suitable for a creative mindset. The OEM ear buds that came with my iPhone weren't horrible but, they sure weren't up to my listening standards for sound quality and offered little to no noise isolation requiring higher volumes to compensate. If anyone really pays attention to trends in marketing and products we are pitched by retailers, you will no doubt see the trend in making things more visually stimulating to the eye or adding a touch of "bling" as noted in the hip-hop culture. The con to this is simple, looks can be deceiving and often those "bling" looking items are really cheaper in quality than they might first appear. I seen this trend coming a long time ago. So when shopping for new headphones, I was quick to dismiss the "gummies" and the "skullcandy" headphones as anything worthy of audiophile sound. Having worked in the audio design field in my younger years (car audio installer), I am a little more picky about my sound than most I imagine. I love a nice smooth high range sound with a crisp midrange not lacking in bass response. Many cheap headphones cannot fill this need. I still recall a pair of JVC noice isolating headphones I bought about a few months back. I returned them for refund after 3 days of use. I couldn't deal with the thin sound that was a little harsh and lack midbass response. Click below to read the rest... Read more... Add new comment   Downloads: Free Social+ Icons Blog - Design Tips Written by Dean Neitman    Saturday, 31 October 2009 22:25 I have joined many social/photo networks and sites over last few years. Recently, I have been wanting to post something to allow people to find me on all of these different locations. I observed many free icon offerings with some really nice designs but always ran into problem of either style didn't work for my site or not enough icons to cover my needs which included photo sharing sites. So, I started my own set in Adobe Illustrator. I created the originals at 64 pixels square in size but also reduced the set for 32 pixel icons as another set. Both sets are in transparent 24-bit PNG form. Then, to take advantage of the spriting trend in web development, I built the icons with 3 different button states that could be kept as one graphic or seperated into individual graphics for traditional rollover activations. There are 20 total icons all grouped in 3 states stacked vertically. You could possibly load all together as 1 graphic if you needed them all or just seperate in their groups of 3 states with your favoriite graphic editor capable of opening .png-24 files. The colors of the icons are dark grayscale. First state is button up, second state below is hover over button, and last bottom state is button clicked but you coud seperate and order however you prefer. Because this set contains a few photo sharing icons, it might be of use to some photographers with websites as well as the social peeps. Download the files below and make sure to retweet or share the link with friends. Icons include: Facebook - Delicious - Twitter - MySpace - Technorati - Stumbled Upon - RSS Feed - Yahoo - YouTube - LinkedIn - Flickr - Last.fm - Chimp - Dreamstime - Blogger - Digg - FeaturePics - SmugMug - Google - LicenseStream 20 - PNG 32 pixel social icons 20 - PNG 64 pixel social icons Add new comment
