Gadget Geek
I must confess: I have a bit of a geeky streak in me.
I’m not just a fan of toys with bells and whistles, I’m also a fan of those bells and whistles.
For several years I’ve been captivated by gadgets: better remote controls, the ever-evolving digital camera, and computer interface devices (like pens and tablets).
I love the stuff.
I also love the people who check all these things out and bring us news about them.
One of my favorite sites (also a blog…but a pretty professional one) is Gizmodo. These guys follow everything that plugs in, uses batteries, or just makes noise. There’s a ton of information and pictures for most of the articles, so you get the full-color flavor. Now, I’m going to warn you, at times it can be a bit salty, but look past that and you’ll find a huge love of technological progress. And, this week, a sweet new Batman clock radio.
Also, and a bit more mainstream, is Walt Mossberg's column. Walt’s been getting first looks at operating systems and handsets for years. This week he’s picking on HDTV, Vista, and simplified cell phones. Walt actually has a good deal of clout, and has been known to cause companies to reengineer products due to less than stellar reviews.
Now there’s a geek for you.
Enjoy. And, I've got a few more places I check out, but if you've got any suggestions of your own, I'd love to hear about them.

Jared,
You can stop blogging now. You have your ten. We all know the real reason you keep blogging though. It's to get to the TOP! See you up there! Or wait, maybe you'll see me up there! On a serios note I can totally relate to your Tech Gadget blog.
