In my X-mini KAI Capsule Speaker review I mentioned two things that I considered might be worth pointing out. The first was the price. When I reviewed the KAI I showed it around to a lot of my mates. The universal opinion was ” Oooh I love the size! Oooh I love the sound! Oooh, the price….I [...]

A good torch is one of those essential things that every Gadgeteer has to own. I use mine every night to read by, and of course it’s always useful if you have a power outage or if you have to go outside to look for the cat When I travel overseas, there’s a few [...]

One of the most valuable public speaking tips I have ever gotten was that sheer volume is a powerful ally. It allows you to roll right over room or ambient noise, it allows the listeners to more easily focus on the message, it allows you to better modulate your tone for effect, and it gives [...]

Sigh. I love remote control stuff, especially helicopters, but I may well be the worst RC ‘copter pilot ever. I got the cool looking YD-711 2.4GHz 4-channel Avatar licensed RC helicopter from Attop, and broke one of the blades within about 10 minutes of actual flight time. More on that later.

I’m going to make an admission: I’m not a big fan of video. I mean who wants to sit through hours of boring footage just to get to those few exciting moments? And who can be bothered editing their video to capture just the highlights? Of course digital video, YouTube, and the proliferation of video-capable devices makes [...]

Recently I had the opportunity to spend 4 hours test driving the new 2013 Ford Escape small SUV through Northern California’s wine country. Ford has come a long way since the first Ford I bought, a 1956 Fairlane. The Escape is quiet, solidly built, fuel efficient and loaded with tech and convenience features, none of which [...]

I recently reviewed the Wrapsol Ultra Screen Protector on my new iPad. Wrapsol also sent along their Non-Slip Grip Pad for Large Tablets for our review. It is “engineered to optimize usability and to help prevent slip-and-fall damage to your tablet.” Those slippery, expensive tablets we all love could certainly benefit from being less slippery, [...]

I travel a great deal throughout the country and do my best to survey what the tech folks are using along the way. This is especially true in the airports, where people (young children to little old ladies and everything in between) are killing time on their various electronic devices. Over the past year or [...]

A couple weeks ago, The Gadgeteer had a news post about Brick Brites, clear plastic LEGO-like building blocks. They’re different from regular LEGO blocks because they have motion-activated blinking lights built-in to add some excitement to your LEGO constructions. How do you improve upon the LEGO brick? I had to see what this was all about. [...]

In my ever-present quest for more power for my gadgets, I was excited about the chance to review the solar DO10-JB Pocket Charger from Juicebar. I have tried other mobile power solutions that haven’t always cut the mustard, so to speak. But the price of this little device is quite attractive, so I was eager [...]
