Gift guide (and tech)
It’s been FAR too long - I’ve been immersed in my long-time non-profit venture recently, but will try to get a few of my many thoughts out since attending and other items I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing.

I wouldn’t ordinarily pimp out a specific manufacturer, but in this case - it just may be warranted.
The Canon EOS 1D Mark IIN is the latest in the line-up of Canon Digital SLR cameras, and I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing it for the last month in preparation for the forthcoming Men’s Vogue article showcasing hot new technologies. Being a Canon user myself for the last 5 years, and acquiring my set of Canon lenses to complement my cameras - I must say this camera is by far the coolest fucker I’ve played with yet!! The one HUGE downside for use average consumers - the price. It’s definitely targetted at the professional photographer who can withstand a $4000 bill for a single camera without lenses.
You can’t get much sexier than Kate Moss (actually, maybe you can) and Nikon’s taken their advertising plan to new sex-appeal highs to tout their new Coolpix S6 pocket digital. I’ve spent a few weeks with their new flagship Coolpix and my impressions are below.

Anybody out there in the digital atmosphere knows the Harmony 768 is a pretty ancient (3 years old!) gadget. But, I had a few extras and sent one to a family friend. Here’s his review. I’ll add a few photos, but this is his experience with the unit. Anybody interested in trading some of their time writing a review on a product that I provide - let me know and we’ll work something out…
On my current ESPN the Magazine tech makeover I’m working on - the centerpiece is an HP Media Center PC with the new Intel dual core CPU. The model we’re putting into the athlete’s home is a 7250N which has a gig of ram, 2.8ghz dual-core cpu, 250gb drive and ATI Radeon x300 128mb video card.
