Welcome to DMDewar.com
Welcome to my soapbox, well maybe, but not so much. I'm not real preachy I just use this website pretty much for whatever I feel like and have for the last five years. It's kind of like my notebook that I happen to share. Basically I cover anything of interest to me which is mostly tech toys, MMA, alternative music, golf, and occasionally stuff that is going on with me. Enjoy the site!
Thanks again!

Rolling Razor
Its not often someone can get excited about a shaving product and honestly with me running in full fuzzy mode trimming the hair and beard at a number 2 it might seem strange that I might interested but this seems like a cool advance as it works as a face and head razor. It has some interesting design innovations like a rounded set of blades, dual blades, and ring for a handle. Click on more for a video of the razor.

Oakley Surf 4.0 Backpack
Well with my new XL Laptop I needed a bag to carry it in and so I went over to a mall across from the hospital at lunch looking for a luggage store which by fluke was closed today but happened to be next to a Golf shop. So I figured I might as well check it out and came across this Oakley Surf 4.0 backpack. It retails for $95 but I asked what they charged for it and they gave it to me for $60. Guess it has to be to hold a 17 inch laptop but having always wanted an Oakley bag was thrilled to get it at such a discount no less.

Motorola Q9C
Among my many new toys I got a new cell phone at work two weeks back. I am using the Motorola Q9C and I am very impressed. Its a huge improvement over the original Q. Its far more stable and has all the bells and whistles one could ask for. Bluetooth, GPS, Windows 6.0, and very easy to use form factor. I have been really pleased with it and I like it more than the HTC Touch I was using before.

Blue Ant Z9i
I have been slacking on my posting lately, softball eats most of my free time but hey when you sign up you dont do it half way... Well several weeks back I bought a BlueAnt Z9i. It is an awesome headset. I can link it with multiple phones which comes in hand with my dual phone setup. It is also one of the highest rated headsets and even when compared to the top dog jawbone 2. Personally I like it much better than the jawbone 2 even though its not as attractive it is more comfortable and far better functioning.

Dell Vostro 1710
Just got my new Dell Vostro 1710 for work and the damn thing is a monster. Both my previous laptops had 14 inch screens and the jump to 17 is a huge one. Wont be able to use my time tested Nike backpack to cart the thing around in. Despite the huge screen I really like the almost full size keyboard which includes a built in ten key keypad.

Texas Tech
I was pleasantly surprised when I watched Texas Tech play today.. They are a fun team to watch with all sorts of runing and passing looks I can see why they give teams fits this season. The Under Armour uniforms are very cool as well. I can see why they are having an awesome year this year. I really enjoyed watching them basically manhandle and then almost lose to Texas but ever since Texas knocked off SC in the title game years back I have taken the view of I root for whoever is playing them and the more people who get knocked off ahead of SC in the rankings the better.

John, Rodrigo, and Gabriela
Well it shaped up to be a hell of a week for my favorite music as I picked the new John Legend album Evolver and it appears to be another solid effort from Mr. Legend who seems like he can do no wrong musically. He's got some collaborations inluding Andre 3000 and Kanye West but maintains his style. I also picked up Rodrigo and Gabriela Live in Japan which has some solid work on it as well. I honestly believe they should focus on live albums because their jam style plays out better as far as energy in a live setting. There are some repeats from their studio album but enough new stuff to make it worth your while as well.
