Geoffrey Beene Men's Mirage Slim Passcase Wallet
PERFECT WALLET
I have bought and used three of these wallets because I refuse to use any other. None can compare to this wallet by Geoffrey Beene. The first one I bought in 2001 and 5 years later, it got ruined in the washing machine. It was such an excellent wallet that I immediately (the next day) went back to the same store and purchased again the same model.

Acqua Di Gio By Giorgio Armani For Men
Amazing stuff...
I have had numerous occasions when I have been approached with the question, 'What are you wearing?'. this is an amazing scent, a pleasant mix of subtleness and reserved masculinity. of course, fragrances dont always react with a person's chemistry the way they would with another. i'd say try a small bottle and when the compliments start coming in, then you can buy a larger bottle.

Sony Under-Cabinet Kitchen ICF-CDK50 CD-Clock Radio
I have been looking for an inexpensive radio for my work bench for quite a while. What I really wanted was an AM/FM radio that I could mount out of the way and that also supported an input for my MP3 player. I was starting to think that no such item existed until I came across this radio - so I bought it and mounted it under my work bench.
The sound quality is good for a radio in this price range and there is a handy battery backup for whenever the power gets cut momentarily (which is fairly common out there just because I'm always dinking around with stuff). I also love that my MP3 player hooks up so easily, which gives me acces to pretty much all my music when I don't feel like listening to the radio. I kind of doubt I will ever use the CD player.

Kodak PlaySport (Zx3) HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera Bundle
I just got back from the weekend at the river and this camera is the perfect combination of durability and quality. I charged it up everyday and placed it in my swimsuit pocket. The waterproofing feature is key because I didnt have to worry about the camera and used it as needed. I was blown away with the still shots that I took, and compared to my brothers Zi8, the video 720p/60 was the same or better.
If you are a very active person and you want a good camera for everyday life, this is perfect. I carry this in my backpack (in college) and sometimes you never know what crazy stuff your gonna come across. I own a SD770is(for the past 2 years) and I never use it because I was afraid of breaking it, getting it wet, etc. BEST $150 i have spent.
O, and one more thing, the waterproofing works great. Thank you Kodak

Roku XD Streaming Player 1080p
Roku is the greatest thing EVER in the history of the universe.
Setup was ridiculously easy. Plug the box into an AC outlet, connect the AV cables to your TV, and switch your TV to the appropriate channel. If using a wireless router, enter the encryption key or passcode. (For WEP security, this will be 13 pairs of alphanumeric symbols.) Then follow the on-screen instructions to sync your Roku account to your Netflix account and/or your Amazon Video On Demand account, using a simple activation code.
Within 15 minutes or less, I was searching Netflix on my TV screen and choosing things to watch.

Garmin nüvi 1390LMT
Just bought this GPS from Amazon and I'm having no problems with it at all. No sure why others have a problem with the speaker but it sounds fine to me. I bought this to replace my Nuvi 350 and it's a major upgrade. The menus are much nicer and I like the Speed Limit display. I did have a little trouble with the bluetooth. After pairing my iPhone the "Phone" icon disappeared from my GPS. It didn't seem to recognize my iPhone anymore. I went to the Garmin website, downloaded the 2.70 upgraded software for this unit (which has fixes for the speaker and bluetooth), did the pairing again, and now it works fine. I would definitely recommend this unit. Anyone who's having problems should download the latest software for this GPS from the Garmin website.

Johnston & Murphy Men's Melton Oxford
I bought a pair of these exact same shoes 5 years ago. I have just placed an order for the exact same J&M model number. After 5 years of daily use, my original pair fits even better and is in great shape. I'm buying a 2nd pair as backup after a puddle incident left me in need of a shine before meeting a client. I expect I will still get at least another 5 years out of my original pair, probably more. It took about 6 months of daily use to properly "break in", but this is normal for high quality leather. These shoes now rival my birkenstocks for comfort. This is a quality shoe that lasts for years and gets more comfortable with each wearing. Comparing against Bostonian's that I have worn for equal lengths of time, these are more durable.

Philips Norelco 7310XL
After having this for 6 months and it being my first electric shaver, I am thoroughly impressed by it. I use to be a manual razor using Mach 3's and Quattro's but after trying this, its pretty much all I use daily unless I need a really close shave.
It feels like quality despite the price! Very solid and sturdy.

Apple iPod touch
The latest iPod Touch from Apple improves on the previous generation in nearly every single way. It does all this without increasing the price one cent (except the 8GB version which increased in price by $30 and is now no longer a hardware generation behind). Bottom line, the iPod Touch continues to be an irresistible device that has no peer on the market right now. Think back even three years and people would simply be amazed at everything the latest iPod Touch can do for only $229. Games in every category, some of which have graphics superior to the PSP or Nintendo DS, news and weather apps, streaming video from your computer or from services like Netflix and Hulu, exercise and weight loss apps, the list goes on and on (and on). While we are starting to see some Android based tablets enter the market, there is nothing in the portable market that comes close to what the iPod can do.

Kindle
I researched the purchase of a Kindle for a long time. I couldn't decide whether or not it was worth buying a dedicated e-reader. Boy am I glad I made this purchase. The downside to Amazon's online selling of Kindle 3 is that the customers don't get to see it in person. It is much better in person. This may sound stupid, but when I got my new Kindle, I thought there was a stuck-on overlay on the screen containing a diagram of the unit's buttons, etc. I actually tried to peel it off. Doh! The e-ink on this unit is THAT good. I didn't realize that I was staring at the actual display. I also didn't realize that no power is required until the display changes. (thus the great battery life) I do a lot of reading, but was facing the prospect of reading less or buying large type books because of my variable and deteriorating eyesight. The new Kindle has been a godsend. Now, I can decide the size of type I need depending on my level of fatigue among other things. The weight and ergonomics are very good. For someone, like me, with neuropathy in his hands, it is extremely easy to manage and enjoyable to own. To me, it is easier to read than print books. The ease of navigation is great as is the speed. The battery life, so far, has been extraordinary. It easily connected to our home Wi-Fi, which by design does not broadcast an SSID. It downloads books so fast that I almost thought they were not completely received. I did not buy the 3G version because of the price difference and the fact that there is no coverage where I live. If you are not constantly traveling, I don't see the need to spend the extra bucks, but that is a matter of personal choice. For those who have no Wi-Fi at home, remember that you can always download the material to your computer and transfer it via USB. Just today I was watching an interview with Tony Blair on TV. He was talking about his new book, which sounded interesting. I picked up the Kindle and downloaded a free sample before the interview was over. I have only read the preface so far, but will probably buy the book. Now THAT is a great way to buy a book! I haven't used online browsing extensively yet, but find it reasonable for what the device is. This is primarily a book reader, not a laptop or notebook. They are great for what they do, but can't match the e-ink display, or the light weight. For those of you worrying about the wait for the new Kindle, let me end with, "It is worth the wait" This new Kindle is all about the quality of experience. There are many format choices for electronic reading. If you want the best experience, go with the Kindle.
