My New (Used) MacBook Pro 15″ 2010 i7, 2.66Ghz

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 1 Comment

I’ve been a fan of 13″ notebooks for the past few years because portability is most important to me. Then came the iPad and MacBook Air and it was almost pointless to have the MacBook Pro 13. It’s been acting as a file server for a couple of months and hardly left the house. I bring my Air out to the office and leave the 13″ at home and there are times when 11 and 13 are just TOO small.

Jaybird JF3 Bluetooth Headphones Review: Updated

The ear cushions arrived but I didn’t get a chance to test drive these till this evening. The way this works is that they go into the headset before adding the eartips and these cushions hang onto your ear much better. Continue reading→

Geek News @ 3:00 – HTC vs Apple, Netflix Increases Rates, HP’s TouchPad 4G still no LTE Support!

Posted on July 12, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News 1 Comment

So it’s around 3:00 here at my office and I’m taking a break reading the online tech blogs and noticed a lot of significant things happening in the industry today. The three that stood out made a deep enough impression on me to write about.

HTC tells Apple to try competing, rather than suing http://t.co/X1WuAay via @engadget – I gotta hand it to HTC for finally saying what a lot of us have been thinking. I like Apple products but just like a lot of the bigger corporations these days, they are killing innovation by creating lawsuits to everything that remotely resembles their products and ideas. Thanks HTC!

The Geek’s Review of Transformers 3 and Les Miserables

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Reviews Leave a comment

Thanks to the 4th of July Weekend, I was able to have time to go places and do things instead of sit in front of the computer all day reading Engadget, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, and the lurk the Rage 3D and MacRumors Forums… Yes, geeks have lives too and we do go out and try to have somewhat of a social life away from the computer desk!

The Burger Joint Workspace

I was at Bob’s Big Boy in Pasadena for lunch which offered free WiFi making it a perfect opportunity to get some work done after I eat. I usually carry my MacBook Air 11″ with me almost everywhere I go so I can take advantage of the air conditioning and free refills on the ice tea on this hot summer day.

Rotating iPad Stand for $4 at Office Depot!

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 1 Comment

Picked up this rotating iPad stand at Office Depot for less than $4. It’s on clearance and it was so cheap I decided to try it out. I’m pleasantly surprised that it works pretty well with the iPad 2. Not only does it rotate to portrait and landscape, the viewing angle is adjustable as well. I also like the fact that it has a wrist rest to type with the touch screen. I might add a bluetooth keyboard and use a stylus to navigate through the OS. This is definitely much more with it than the other stands that go up to $70 plus!!! I’m thinking of buying the rest that are on stock!

How to transport takeout ramen or soup without spilling a drop

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Food, How To 1 Comment

For those that haven’t figured it out yet, I’m Asian and ramen is a comfort food that I just can’t live without. I live about 8 miles away from a decent noodle house that isn’t ridiculously over priced, or a place that doesn’t serve low quality instant ramen that I can buy for 10 cents a pack. I usually like to go to the highly asian populated communities (Alhambra, San Gabriel, etc where I live in the LA Metro Area). The challenge is transporting the take out ramen from there to Pasadena when I’m driving myself without spilling a drop or getting my crotch burned so I had to use my noodle (pun intended) to find a way!

The Sizzler Workspace

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Food, Workspaces 5 Comments

One of my favorite workspaces is at Sizzler during the weekend. Unlike Starbucks, I get a big table, lots of space and decent food! I usually carry around my MacBook Air with a 3G USB Wireless card when I go there. Working out of Sizzler is MUCH more productive than out of any coffee house.

work space at home

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Workspaces 1 Comment

Just for the hell of it, here’s my workspace at home. Posted it on Twitter too.

Nothing beats being back at the home office after a long day! on Twitpic

I’ve changed the layout as this one seems more appropriate for now. It definitely has been a long day and I’m tired. Time for bed!
