ZunZun is a Dutch company that has a great idea. They make sun visor shades for computer laptops 10.5″ and 15.6″ and even GPS units. These shades are essentially flexible hoods that attach via elastic bands around your computer to shade the screen so you can see it and still type on your keyboard. For [...]

I’m not crazy about most do-it-yourself dog grooming products because most of them are long on promises and short on delivery. And they’re expensive. For that kind of money, I can just take my pooch over to PetSmart and let them do what they have to do. I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and for [...]

If you’re like me, you have to keep two sets of eyeglasses handy: sunglasses and reading glasses. I’m 45 ,and I had LASIK surgery last January. Before LASIK, I wore contacts but since I had developed dry eye syndrome, I carried around my regular prescription glasses plus prescription sunglasses. But there was always the [...]

I hate to sound like Andy Rooney but have you ever noticed those bulky camera straps that hang around your neck? They’re supposed to hold your camera and supposed to allow you to port your camera about and it’s supposed to be easy. Have you ever noticed how heavy and bulky wearing your camera around [...]

I’m all about my Big Band music. I have an Mp3 player full of it. I stream it via Live 365 Internet Subscription radio. I even have vinyl records of old recordings, and I have stuff older than that. I can’t always play my records and in my area; Big Band music cannot be found [...]

I am a coffee lover (tea too) and I always like a little coffee in my steamed milk. In other words, save your espresso, save your coffee black, bring on the dairy! I cannot always get to Starbucks for my morning java. And for years, I have had to live with cream and sugar or [...]

MobileEdge ScanFast briefcase. Checkpoint and Environment friendly. (this is a 2nd opinion review of bag that we featured last year) I really hate flying. I’ve never been a big fan. I hate the high prices, the long lines, the rules, the regulations, the baggage fees, what you can carry on and what you [...]

At Last!!!!!!!! My cry has been heard! Not to be outdone by Dunkin Doughnuts, Starbucks is now getting into bed or…waking up…not sure which… with Keurig K Cup. Dunkin Doughnuts has announced that you can now purchase their coffee blend in the single serve K Cups designed for the Keurig Coffee Brewers. Earlier they [...]

We all know someone like this….someone who just can’t leave their gadget alone. They just have to root it, rook it, hack it… whatever the term. They have to crack it open and try to program it to remote detonate the dishwasher from Pacoima. My husband is just one such person. He cannot leave his [...]

Back to School these days just isn’t the Back to School it was in my day. When I went back to school, I went to the grocery store, picked out a colorful cardboard box that held No. 2 pencils (yellow thank you very much), some crayons, a ruler (wooden) and maybe some Elmer’s glue (the [...]

I had previously reviewed another label maker by Dymo which is plugged into the USB port of your computer. Using built-in software, you could create and print labels from your PC. I also made a snarky comment about handheld labelers and needing to be an expert texter. The P-touch 1290 label maker from Brother is [...]

I know you have one. Those clunky, metal, red toolboxes. That iconic American symbol of craftsmen, workmen, and Do It Yourself-ers everywhere. Those expensive, heavy, red-paint-chipping, heavier-than-cement-crack -your-shin-on-it dead weights that holds a mish mash of tools and accessories that, once in, you can never find again. Throw it out. Seriously. Throw [...]

Fish Finders, to those who don’t know, are these electronic mechanisms that either assist greatly in not having to stop by the fish shop on the way home or are a blasphemy on the sacrosanct sport of fishing. Depends on who you talk to. Electronic gardening equipment quite possibly could be seen in the same [...]

Well…nothing. That’s the point…I think. For those of you who remember the kitsch from the 70s, the Pet Rock was…a rock. No. Seriously. It was a washed and polished rock that came equipped in a mini little pet carrier nestled atop some rafia. Back in the day, it sold for five dollars. Might not seem [...]

In Star Trek, any actor whose character was destined to lose their life before the first commercial break was guaranteed two things: A vague character name for the actor’s resume and a red shirt. And too bad if “Crew Member #3″ was cute. Set your phaser to “Not Winning!” He was going to bite it [...]

There’s just not a lot to say about this other than… I want one. This is the ultimate in Cool Cubicle Gear. Splat Stan could be your boss, that brown-noser who always kisses the boss’ ass or that troublemaker who isn’t happy unless she’s complaining about something or causing some kind of trouble. Whatever he [...]

Remember the old days in label making? They weren’t necessarily good old days either. For those too young to remember, skip this review because I think Spongebob is on. For those old enough to remember when The Partridge Family was cool and a job at Burger King was the bomb, stay with me. You remember [...]

Wake’n Bacon. No. Seriously. A bacon alarm clock. An alarm clock that wakes you every morning to the smell of freshly cooked bacon AND bacon you get to eat. No. Joke. Now, I am so not into strange alarm clocks although I DO have a Voco Clock. But this one takes the cake… or the [...]

Logitech HD Pro Webcam. Whoopity doo. Honestly, I hate to sound negative but I just do not get what the big deal is. I get HD. I do. Maybe not in the same obsession as anyone with a television or cellphone or video camera. That group is a whole different breed. I’ve seen [...]
