We went down to Calgary for the Easter long weekend to visit some grad school friends- it was a nice trip for the fam, as it had been awhile since the last vacay. Couple of good pieces from the trip- our Honda didn’t die on the road, which was a plus- I am fairly certain…

VAIO Pocket 40 GB DAP IRL Review
VAIO Pocket 40GB DAP IRL Review- The VAIO Pocket (pocket from now on) is a digital audio player/photo viewer that was released in 2004 just a few months after Sony’s Walkman division released its own NW-HD1 Network Walkman to compete with the iPod (might have been 3rd generation at the time I think). It was an…

Sony Walkman X (X1060) IRL Review- The Walkman X (X from hereon) was released in 2009 as Sony’s first major foray into the touchscreen DAP market basically owned by the iPod Touch.

Review- Sony Walkman E-Series and Active Speaker System

Review- Sony Walkman NWZ-1060
Review Sony Walkman NWZ-1060- I first got a hold of the Walkman Z (its moniker) unintentionally because of my VAIO S15 Purchase in 2012.

Retro Review Sony Walkman NW-HD5 and NW-A3000 Review/Overview
Holy flashback Batman. Retro IRL review of the Sony NW-HD5 and the NW-A3000. Not a full review of the NW-A3000 because it doesn’t work and I only own it out of nostalgia and luck. The NW-HD5 Walkman dates back to 2007 when the iPod was all the rage (particularly the iPod Nano which had just come out) and…
