About: Hello, gentlemen; this is Anthony, and this is my long-awaited bio post (according to the ever-pestering Eric, anyway).
Personally, I think Gear Patrol is making me poorer. Not the best idea in today’s economy but, what the hell - hopefully, Citi will fall after I purchase a few barrels of JD. As one of the very first readers, I’ve enjoyed watching the site grow from one new post every few days to several articles daily - finding more and more gear I could add to my ever-growing collection. So, I find it a great honor that I was selected to join The GP Crew.
Despite many failed attempts to get Eric to write my bio for me (so I could envelop myself in Call of Duty at his pad), he remained stalwart, and I was relegated to alternative measures: interviewing myself. So without further ado, I give you Anthony vs. Anthony - on the hot seat. [Continued after the jump]
Tell us a little about yourself.
My editors know me to be laid back, obsessed with finding deals on the finer things in life, and one who tends to over-research products. Why? To convince myself that I desperately need something, then not buy it. It’s a sordid affair.
That’s pretty rough. Anything else?
I’m also a fanatic when it comes to reading about random articles and an irate, foul-mouthed lunatic when it comes to playing video games (Ed: True). I’m perpetually on the move, calling New York, Chattanooga, and Memphis home.
What’s one embarrassing moment you’d like to share with our readers and forever be published on the internet for the whole world to see?
Gee, Anthony, when you put it that way… Oh wait… actually, looking back one of the funniest events (not for me at the time) had to be when I was learning how to ride a bike. Being the young and ever-confident 5 year old trying to keep up with an older bro, I decided to try and show off by riding my bike down the hill - sans training wheels.
So what happened?
I think this YouTube clip might be the closest dramatization of the actual events:

Why that moment?
Because, well… you fall down and you keep going and that’s what guys do. The old adage applies here: if you can’t laugh at yourself, you shouldn’t be laughing at all.
What’s your biggest vice?
An outrageously good deal (think: slickdeals.net). Oh, and Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve.
Is there anything embarrassing you can tell us about Eric Yang?
Eric is supafly smooth (Ed: I’d debate “supafly”). I’m still waiting for him to trip up; we all are, actually. Such events are rarer than spotting Nessie. If we ever go on that golf trip next year, then maybe I (we) can catch one of those rare moments on camera.See Authors Posts (38) on Tue, Sep 29, 2009

Clutter is something the editors here at Gear Patrol hate. While you might have an excuse for rocking an unkempt desk, your coffee table deserves order. If you’re still rocking a pile of remotes, having failed to buy a Logitech Harmony One remote, now is the time to check out the latest offering from the undisputed champs of the all-in-ones. We’re talking about Logitech’s new Harmony 900 Universal Remote.

Looking to improve on their line of award winning predecessors, Logitech steps up their game with the Harmony 900. As with the One, the 900 packs a sharp, full-color touch screen, ergonomic design, sculpted backlit buttons, one-touch activity controls, computer programming, and compatibility with over 225,000 devices. What sets the 900 apart is the one thing the One was missing - RF compatibility. The Harmony 900 comes equipped with an RF extender and 2 “mini blasters” that run synchronously together to command equipment inside cabinets or gear over in the next room, making getting up completely unnecessary. If the Harmony 900 could fetch you a beer, it’d truly be man’s best friend.
Editor’s Note: One thing often left out about the Logitech Harmony series is the easy to use setup software that makes programming these advanced control beasts a snap. Though competing products may offer similar functionality in attractive packages, getting most of these to work often requires professional installation or a whole herd of nerds. Even if you aren’t the most tech savvy of users, you’ll find integrating this ultimate accessory into your system is a simple affair. In other words, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Cost: $355
Definitely a must-have for any home setup. Good job, Anthony.
thanks Zane… they definitely raised the bar this year.
