Apple Bluetooth Mouse by Rocketfish
Saturday, August 23, 2008

I wanted to free up the usb ports on my Asus Eee PC 901XP, so I decided to go shopping for a bluetooth mouse.

There wasn't much to choose from at the local BestBuy and neither Circuit City and Walmart carried any bluetooth mice locally in their stores. All of the bluetooth mice at BestBuy were about the same price of $50, give or take a dollar and a couple of pennies. Among the selections were some offerings from Microsoft, Targus, Apple, and Rocketfish.

After considering form factor, style, and price, I decided to go with the Rocketfish Apple Bluetooth Mouse. It was the cheapest of the bunch coming in at $47 plus the white color of the mouse matches the Eee PC. Despite being designed to be used with Mac products, the standard HID bluetooth protocls made this mouse work seamlessly with my system.

Now, I have more open usb ports to plug my flash drives into. For anyone who owns an Eee PC, having free usb ports is a blessing if you're one who has started to run out of hard drive space.

Money in My Car
Sunday, May 18, 2008

So, I decided to "deep clean and sanitize" my car today. I try to do this once a year to collect all the loose change in my car and then take the them to the CoinStar machine at Albertson. Then I usually buy something techie at BestBuy or Amazon.com. If I can't find anything techie, the money will go towards my beer fund.

Judging from what I found, I'm pretty sure there was more than ten dollars in my car. I'll post back the exact amount after I do my deposit to the CoinStar.
