    I've got a $1000 set of headphones, and no way to use them.

    My dad's former company bought all the pilots sets of Bose Aviation headphones (model number AH-BG), with active noise cancellation. When he joined the new company (which bought out the old one), the headsets were no longer compatible with the airplanes, and have sat upstairs in my dad's closet...

I got a couple SanDisk drives, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb, and a Kingston 8gb from work...but I can't complain about (nor choose) free...

    I've entered the realm of the crackberry. Bought a bold.

    And damn am I impressed with it. It was down to an iPhone or the Bold, but in the end, support for microSDHCs and a lack of requiring iTunes won out. The biggest surprise has to be the speakers. I'm very impressed with the multimedia functions of it; so much so that I'm getting rid of my...
