I received some new gadgets in the mail today, specifically my USRobotics Internet Phone which will come in handy when I’m traveling. The total cost of the phone was just under $40.00, and  I haven’t tried it yet so can’t tell you anything about the quality of the sound.  The USB Internet phone plugs directly into a computer and using Skype’s service I can make free phone calls through the Internet from anywhere in the world. This is great to have for people that do a lot of traveling, and I’d recommend the Skype service to anyone.  I’m glad to add it to my collection of gadgets I bring with me when I travel!

I’m such a gadget junky and have gadgets laying all over the place that another piece of equipment I forgot I had was a Sony MiniDV Digital Camcorder pictured above. The Sony DCR-TRV22 is a great digital camcorder with a 2.5″ LCD screen, color viewfinder, 120x digital zoom, and memory stick capability. I’ve owned this camcorder for a few years now, and haven’t used it as much as I should be using it. There’s no better time than now to put the camcorder to use. I think it will be a great addition to my travel equipment, and offer some great multimedia streaming videos of my travel adventures. The big thing on the web nowadays is online videos, so I might as well keep up with the times!

I’ll be adding a section in the “About” page of this blog that lists all my travel equipment with facts about each one since it seems like as this project moves ahead I might end up adding to my collection of wonderful gadgets regularly. I think new readers will be interested to know what type of equipment I use also, and keeping all the information in the “About” page will be much easier than having it scattered around in various blog posts.
