No matter how much I use my gadgets, I could never give up my paper and writing implements. I’ve always loved school and office supplies, and I was in heaven when I discovered Levenger and their beautiful notebooks, rich papers, and beautiful pens.

Now, Scosche has updated their compact cables and converted them to carabiner clips, so they’ll be even easier to keep on a keychain or clipped to your gear bag. The clipSYNC gear features full-sized charging cables with a spring-loaded carabiner built in. Each clipSYNC is less [...]

Man has been exploring space since the dawn of time. First by seeing pictures in the stars and making up stories of gods, then by using optics and physics to understand that Earth is not the center of the universe, and finally by venturing into space with manned and unmanned crafts. A wealth of information [...]

We recently noticed a lot of spots in pictures we were taking with our Nikon D80 camera. A quick Google search suggested we needed to clean dust off the mirrors and the other internal components. ”Canned air” works well for cleaning dust out of nooks and crannies that all electronic devices have, but there are [...]

These purse organizers were originally designed to keep women’s purses organized and to make it simpler to change bags, but I don’t see any reason why guys couldn’t make use of them in gear bags, too. This Travelon RFID Blocking Purse Organizer has a woven metallic fabric sandwiched inside the walls to protect RFID cards [...]

Instead of shredding all those papers with sensitive financial information, you can permanently obscure the information with the HomeSmart Black Out Security Stamper and Pen. It looks like one of those self-inking return address stampers, but the Black Out stamper uses permanent ink that can’t be erased or washed out to stamp a jumbled pattern [...]

Sometimes it’s hard being a gadget lover. Here at The Gadgeteer, we’ve told you about and/or reviewed a ton of keychain tools over the years, and I’d be lying if I told you that for at least half of them, I’ve found myself flush with new-gadget-frenzy, my cursor hovering over the “buy” button, only to [...]

If there’s one thing I hate about exercising while wearing earbuds, it’s that it’s far too easy to accidentally snag the cable on something and yank one or both buds out of my ears. Bluetooth headphones solve the cable problem, but most Bluetooth headphones are either circumaural or supra-aural, and thus too big and heavy [...]

Aluratek’s Mini Surge Dual USB Charging Station attempts to solve that problem by turning a single grounded power outlet into [...]

As Julie wrote a few posts down, here at The Gadgeteer, we can’t get enough keychain tools and gadgets. So here’s another, the Swiss+Tech Micro-Plus EX 9-in-1 Key Ring Tool.
