I’m an avid reader of the Consumerist. I also talk to Julie online a lot, which means that I’m frequently sending her links during the day to interesting articles I find. We got into a discussion about texting, after I sent her an article on a girl in Colorado who racked up a $4,756.25 Verizon [...]

Check it out, it’s a telescoping fishing pole that collapses into a pen sized container. I’m not sure how well it really works. I doubt you could catch anything too large with it, but it sure is cute! You can find them through Amazon and I want one of those.com (UK). There’s even a site [...]

Have you ever had a dream about a round speaker that really wasn’t a speaker in the traditional sense? A bazillion and one years ago, we had a review of the Olympia Soundbug. This product had a suction cup that could be affixed to any flat surface like a table or even a window. You [...]

Fellow gadgeteer Martin Niklasson sent in a link to this nifty $19.99 solar lamp from IKEA. The solar cell / battery pops out of the base so that you can set it in a windowsill during the day for charging, then at night, pop it back in for free illumination. It uses LEDs and according [...]

It may be vaguely fish shaped, but the Guppie Multi-tool from X-tremeGeek.com probably won’t help you catch a big one. The adjustable wrench, interchangeable-bit screwdriver, LED flashlight or the bottle opener might come in handy around the camp site though. Pin it

Today we’ll take a look at the HD-0310 and see how it stacks up. I’ve had a chance to put it through its paces with various media formats and there [...]

There are so many bubble popping and ball matching style games out there, that it’s difficult to get excited about a new one. That’s why I wasn’t all that enthused when the people from Howling Moon Software emailed to ask me if I would like to take a look at Crayon Ball for the iPhone [...]

I have been a fan of leather bags from the Saddleback Leather Company since my first review of their Briefcase bag and then their Explorer’s Satchel. The style of their bags is what I would call American adventure. They look like something that you might see a person carrying 100 years ago. Definitely a style [...]

I was excited when Julie told her main article contributors that she was sending us HP Mini 1000 netbooks in December, but for an entirely different reason. See, I’d already purchased an Acer Aspire One only a few months earlier, and I was quite interested in seeing how the HP Mini stood up against the [...]

My favorite earphones of all time have been the ER6i by Etymotic. Historically, these are the ones I have pointed all those asking ‘which noise-isolation earbuds are the best bang for the buck’ to. While the list of earphones I have had the opportunity to tryout grows, I continue to revert back to my old [...]
