Hi Terry,

I am Roy Bassave, a Gadgets and Gift Guide writer. I am reviewing Adobe InDesign CS4.

I am also trying to make my Holiday Gift Guide look professional, like the ones I did for magazines.

I love your layout, I want to do something like yours.

I have all different products and I will have Spanish pages to.

May I use your guide as a template if i may.

I will give full credit yo what you did.

Meredith Payette from A&R Edelman PR said you wee the best.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Roy

Mike,
I still love and recommend the belkin adapter. However, I went with the Kensington one in my holiday guide this time because it offers a little bit more in cable management. Like I said in my original review of the Belkin, I didn’t like the way the prongs just stick out. They should retract into the unit. The Kensington one doesn’t seem to have that issue. Either one is great though.

hey terry –

I didn’t see your ‘belkin travel adapter’ in the gear guide but saw the Kensington there. I have the Belkin myself (based from your review) and I think it’s a great travel accessory. I also saw that you cited that as one of your accessories in your iphone book video with scott.

Make sure you’re installing the proper driver for the Cintiq for your version of Windows. If that still fails, give Wacom a call. You just bought it, that’s what tech support is for.

Terry, great Holiday Gadget Guide!!! I purchased the Cintiq 12WX and I can’t seem to get the pen to respond. I’ve connect Cintiq to both PowerBook G4 and MacPro G5. I thought that this was going to be a simple task. I’ve downloaded the driver and I don’t even see in window of my system perfs. It tells me it has never been installed. Can you help!!!!

Another pick for the Gadget lovers. The Flip. I LOVE mine. It’s dead simple, really small and always handy when I suddenly want to capture something on video.

I have the Ultra model which takes plain old double A batteries. That came in handy when I was at an event at a hotel and the batteries ran out. I just popped into the hotel gift store and bought a couple and was right back in business.

Thanks for the guide Terry. I’m just started looking at it now, but I must make two comments: in the not for her section you advise the guy to go for jewelry over the vacuum cleaner. Perhaps, but if she’s like me, and isn’t really into jewelry, a spa visit should be the first choice. In the not for him category you say to stay away from books which made me freak. Heresy! In my family the most coveted present is a gift card to Barnes & Noble. LOL! (I’m not kidding, either.)

Okay, now I’ll go read the rest of the guide…

[...] This weekend, Photoshop User magazine will start arriving in NAPP members mailboxes (well, at least those here in the U.S.), and in this issue is (that’s right), my 3rd Annual Gonzo Holiday Gear Guide!!!! In the past, my Gear Guide has been part of Layers magazine, but Layers Managing Editor Chris Main pointed out that so many of the things on my guide are for photographer, that maybe it was a better fit in Photoshop User magazine, and I totally agreed, so it’s found it’s new home in print there. However, we’re going to post the online version of my Gonzo Gear Guide over at Layersmagazine.com (I doubt it’s up live yet over at Layers, but I’ll let you know here when it does go live there). To keep you busy until then, my buddy Terry White just posted his Holiday Gift Guide over at his tech blog (here’s that link). [...]

Hi, Terry,

Great gadget guide! Wish you’d had space to include Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop… an ideal tool for recession-wracked photogs using 35mm SLRs with a pop-up flash… to quote a guy whose word we respect: “Your popup flash doesn’t have to suck…” Instead of investing in a $300 external flash, shooters with these cameras can put on the $30 Lightscoop (available at Adorama.com for that price — http://www.adorama.com/FALSUs.html?sid=1215725604479426) and get pictures that rival those of the pros… (a bit of disclosure here… I’m the Professor’s wife… but as you yourself said last year… the Lightscoop DOES work!)

Nice list Terry, and quite handy as I am starting to make my own. I like how you through in the WiiFit there at the end which is of course a casual reminder you can’t always be in front of the computer.

PB,
Hard to go wrong with any of them. If you like the SD790IS, go for it!
