Digital Altitudes, LLC has software products that help you track everything you need [...]

The All Black is ‘just…’ a new color scheme in the existing Sunnto Elementum Terra line. The all-black casing and negative display make for a stealthy (Stargate ) look, while retaining all the functionality of the Terra clan. I have always been tempted by Suunto’s luxury line of Elementum Terra watches but to be honest [...]

When I was in college, everybody had these bed pillows that looked like the back of a chair with arms. We called these pillows “husbands”, and they were great back support while we sat on our beds doing assignments for hours. I had seen a few husbands in stores over the years, but none were [...]

You might remember my review of the Klhip nail clippers which have a really cool design, but a price tag that is very prohibitive. Guess what? I’ve found another pair of clippers that look just as cool (maybe more) but cost considerably less. They are the Pour Homme Ultra Slim Nail Clippers. They feature a [...]

Maybe the NightWave can. This is a small device that you place on your bedside table that uses a soft blue light to silently guide your breathing and focus your mind. Users lie with their eyes open and synchronize their breathing with the rise and fall of the soft light as its movement becomes slower [...]

Back in high school and a majority of college, I used the Norelco 885RX electric razor you see in the middle of the picture below (I agree, I could not believe I still had it as well). It was well used and dying quickly. In my junior year, I was given the sterling silver straight [...]

Shaving each day is a chore that I do grudgingly. To spice it up a bit I volunteered to review the Ikon Razor, which turned out to be a “back to the future” experience. Shaving is not one of my top 10 fun things to do, but in the interest of providing the readers information and seeing if [...]

Connect this somewhat goofy looking headset to your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, load one of 4 apps and you’ll be well on your way to complete mind control. Ok, I doubt that’s really true… but the PLX XWave does look kind of interesting if it can actually help you increase your focus and relaxation [...]
