I receive emails all the time where people ask me how they can become a product reviewer like The Gadgeteer. Starting your own website can be really hard work, so here’s an easier way to get some experience – sign up for an account at ExpoTV. Then you can apply to do video reviews of [...]

Now for something that I doubt any of you thought you’d ever see… It’s a Sasquatch pet bed that looks like a ginormous plastic shoe. It measures 31 inches long x 14 inches tall x 14 inches wide and as an easy to remove / wash fleece lining which they call a sock. Fido better [...]

Would you like to know how many pounds last weekend’s binge of McDonald’s cheeseburgers, fries and chocolate chip cookies put on your badonka-donk? There’s an app for that! Actually, there’s a scale and an app for that. It’s the WiFi Body Scale from Withings and I want one. First of all, it’s a sleek (.9 [...]

I recently posted a short article talking about my problem with trying to decide between buying a desktop or laptop as an upgrade my currently failing 24″ iMac.

I’m not fond of starting reviews on a negative slant, but I would like to make clear that I am not a fan of Bluetooth headsets.  I like, no love, Bluetooth technology.  I think it rocks.  But I am one of those rare individuals who honestly doesn’t get this insane thirst to stay connected 24/7 [...]

On the heels of the itsy-bitsy T-Pack for netbooks comes Timbuk2‘s new Breakout Messenger, a generously-sized bag designed for your hulking 17″ laptop.  A cross between their Outtawhack Daypack and the Commute Messenger, this seems to be an answer to the critique that even the Large Commute was just not quite large enough for a [...]

This is a problem that I notice all the time with my GSM phones. Neat fix, but I’d have to buy a bazillion choke cores to eliminate the noise everywhere I go. That said, it’s an easy fix. Check it out… Pin it

After writing up the article on DoubleSight Displays‘ new USB displays, I did a little exploring of the rest of their website, and it appears that they specialize in multi-monitor setups. I’ve never really given much thought to a multi-monitor stand, as I’ve never had more than two monitors at once, but after looking at [...]

My daughter needed a laptop bag that would carry her Dell 14” Inspiron 1420 laptop and a few essentials.  She doesn’t take her computer to school, so she had no need for a huge bag with room for books, notebooks, and the like.  She just needed the laptop, power brick, and a few other basics [...]

I’ve been using the VTech 6042 Two Handset Cordless Phone System since reviewing it a little over 2 years ago. It’s been a decent phone and  answer machine, but after 2 years, I’m ready to try something different. How about another VTech phone? I’m replacing the 6042 system with the Vtech Expandable Cordless Phone System [...]
