Installing a Car Stereo
About 10 years ago, I bought a Parrot CK3100 to install in my 2003 Toyota Highlander as I wanted to be able to answer the phone while driving if my wife called me. I was unable to figure out how to install it, so I returned it. I think about a year later, I bought the car kit again and tried again.

Learning about Surround Sound
During our recent vacation, I happened to hear rear speakers on a 5.1 surround sound system and was intrigued by it. I'm not an audiophile nor do I have a home theater system. I do have a TV and a sound bar in our living room. So I decided to try out a Vizio 38 inch sound bar
. Setting it up was quite easy and the wireless subwoofer/rear speakers fit perfectly in my living room. This post, however, isn't a review on this sound bar.

Traveling without a laptop
I recently went on vacaton with my family and for my electronic gear, I only took my iPhone and iPad. It got me thinking how long it has been since I traveled with a laptop for personal trips. Several years ago, when I first got an iPad, I tried just using it for trips, but felt like my hands were tied behind my back. Over the last few years, I've found that while my laptop is a bit easier to use with the bigger screen and bigger keyboard, for most of my needs on the road, I consume content (web, books, movies, etc.).

Review: Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover
Last week a friend of mine came to visit and during some downtime, he had a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover
. (His was for a larger iPad.) I thought it looked interesting and decided to get one for my iPad mini. Of course, I neglected to realize that the keyboard would be a lot smaller because it was for an iPad mini, doh!
