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 [...]

Black & Decker has just found a way into my heart. I love to garden! I’m not the best at it. But I really like it. Let’s face facts… when it comes to all this blather about soils and additives and enhancements to make this grow or that grow or worrying about which [...]

I’m not a gamer. I don’t even play one on TV. But I know what happens when your laptop’s processor gets cooked because the fans that come with it either don’t cool the device enough or just wear out. It’s this Need For Speed, and gamers survive on it as much as they do Skittles [...]

If you live in the midwest, you’ve had a rotten winter. You’ve had snow upon snow upon a solid three to five inch thick rink of ice. You’ve had issues with melting, leakage and if you live in Indiana, you’ve just been hammered with what feels like one gallon of rain a minute. Now compound [...]

For your average and sundry backpacks, it makes sense to find one that’s going to hold your gear and not kill your back at the same time. It also helps to find a backpack with the padded pocket for netbooks, laptops, iPads, Macs, whatever you’re toting these days to keep connected. Cheaply made backpacks will [...]

Tech Lighting Railtones Wireless Sound System: I love this product. Now for a little more clarification. Ok. I REALLY love this product. To start with, I was never a big fan of amped up sound systems. I don’t get it even though my husband claims it would make our HDtv system sound better. I own [...]

Quite simply, the Keurig Platinum Single Cup brewer is the last coffee brewer you’re ever going to need. In my household, we’re coffee and tea drinkers…iced tea, hot tea, hot chocolate, lattes, hot apple cider….we drink it all. We just don’t drink the same thing at the same time.

“When you can’t be with them…” is the tag line for the SafeDriver monitoring device from Lemur Monitors. Some might say “Or when you can’t trust them,”…either way, the SafeDriver wireless monitoring device is a sweet little “don’t even think about it” mechanism for that new driver in the household. The second in a series [...]

Anyone watch the NBC television nerd series “Chuck“? It’s all about this average computer whiz guy nerd who works at a Best Buy-like store. He’s harmless, nerdy, a little on the wussy side. One day Chuck receives an encoded email from an old college buddy who is now with the CIA. The email embeds the [...]

I don’t think I have to tell anyone reading this that gas prices suck. And they’re making me motion sick as well. Up and down, up and down, up and down. What was $2.89 a gallon when I headed out one day could be $2.67 two days later. Just yesterday, we left our small hamlet [...]

Forget the X-Files…the Coolness Factor is the Truth that’s Out There… While most people like to read the Gadgeteer to find out the latest in cool, new electronic gadgetry, it’s important to remember that gadgets aren’t ALWAYS electronic. Sometimes they just have to be cool. Something you can’t help but look at. Something you can’t [...]
