Reviews by Jeff Geerling
Introducing... reviews by me!
For the longest time, I have wanted to share some of the research that I do to pick the best product for my needs, and some of the thoughts I have on a product days, weeks, and months into using it.
I am somewhat of a fanatic about purchasing once, and using an item to its fullest extent—never overbuying, but also never settling for something that works half of the time (I guess that's a big reason I'm always a Mac... though I do see utility in a Windows PC or Linux workstation for some people).
In the Life is a Prayer.com Reviews section, I will be posting reviews of some of the products I have loved, and some that I haven't liked so much. All of the products I review are products that I have spent a lot of time researching for myself, and then using after purchase (for instance, the Nikon D90, or the Canon PowerShot G11, both of which I spent many weeks researching before deciding to buy). I will not review a product that I have not owned, and I won't lie in my reviews.
One of the greatest helps for me in making a purchasing decision is seeing the thoughts of people who have a similar workflow and lifestyle to mine. I think that, if you are someone who likes to be efficient, orderly, and not let his tools get in the way of his work (as I am), you'll find some good material in the reviews that I'll be posting to this new section of my site.
I'll be reviewing mostly tech gear, household items, and photography equipment... but anything's game!
Leave me a note here if there's anything in particular (category of product) you'd like reviewed, and I'll see what I can do.

I'd be interested if you reviewed the Tascam iM2 and the Fostex AR-4i, perhaps doing a threeway comparison of those along with the iRig. Your reviews were very helpful for my microphone purchase a year ago or so, but at the time none of these was on the market. I'm thinking of getting one for my Dad, but am not sure which to buy.
I just posted a review of the GuitarJack Model 2, and am working on acquiring a Tascam iM2 for testing.
I would love to do a three-way comparison, but it's been difficult trying to get an iM2. Hopefully I'll be able to get one very soon!
Right now I'm very happy with both the AR-4i (for video purposes) and the GuitarJack Model 2 (for audio without video).
