Can’t find a headset/mic combination you like? Do you have a favorite pair of headphones but no mic? Wouldn’t it be great to just add a microphone to your own headphones anytime you like? You may remember my own attempts at using a hot glue gun to attach a microphone to my own comfy headphones… …

Knock knock! Who’s there? Now you’ll know with the PeepHole Viewer PHV1330 from Brinno, which records images outside your door onto a microSD card and has a 3″ LCD display on the inside for your viewing.
Earlier this year, my fit-as-a-fiddle brother in-law with beach body physique got me started on the “Insanity” workout. I was halfway through the 10-week regimen when a nasty wrist injury decided it was time for me to find a less aggressive form of exercise. So I started counting my calories and logged my less strenuous …
Digital cameras are great. They’re convenient, fun, and are becoming idiot-proof. Then the Fuji X100 came into my life and I realized just how lazy and dependent on technology I’ve been when taking snapshots. How did this happen? I have a love-hate thing with digital cameras. First, the technology keeps advancing that lures me into …
I’ve seen these little toy helicopters for a while now, but as much as I like toys, I never bought one. Why? Well for one thing, I was always afraid I’d “shoot my eye out” or it just wouldn’t work. I mean, how well could something so TINY work after all? Enter the Swann series …

Need a pocket for your pocket? Then the new Maxpedition Mini Pocket organizer might be just for you. I love Maxpedition products. They’re utilitarian and very well made. One thing I don’t like about wearing pants with cargo pockets is that smaller items tend to move around loosely. The Maxpedition Mini Pocket looks like the …
Spy cameras hidden in teddy bears too obvious? How about something truly ordinary? Yes, this innocent looking “wall wart” actually houses a video camera with an internal DVR that records onto a micro SD card. It features motion detection activated recording and can record up to 32 hours on a single micro SD card. Cost …
The Preon ReVO from 4Sevens is the latest mini sized keychain flashlight that packs quite a punch for its diminutive size.
I love all things wireless, except when it comes to keeping them powered up. For some reason, I’ve never latched onto the idea of wireless input devices, like mice and keyboards. I was always worried that I’d run out of battery juice at the worst possible moment. But a solar rechargeable keyboard? Now this is …
I am the hardest person on earth to buy things for. I don’t really NEED anything because if there’s something I want, I either already have one that does the same thing, or it’s too ridiculous… unless someone has a coupon for a 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition.
As a kid, I remember using those gas lanterns powered by propane or white gas. Someone’s dad would pump up the lantern, light the fragile mantles, and a bright glow would descend upon the campground. The Emergency Area Light from Coast Products provides an adjustable brightness like the classic gas-powered ones, but goes a few steps …
I’m not a gamer. There, I said it. I think the last time I was addicted played any game was World of Warcraft with my younger brothers in law for a few months, but had to quit cold turkey in 2004. Nowadays, with kids and less free time, we MIGHT play a few rounds of …
If you much prefer the over-the-head type of headset, skip this review. I’m one of those people. I wear glasses and I never found the behind-the-ear style compelling enough to try. But try I did.
“Sophisticated Elegance” is what Callpod calls their Vetro Bluetooth headset. According to Callpod, vetro means “glass” in Italian. That raised my eyebrow a bit. I’d never seen a Bluetooth headset that looked like this before, so I had to give it a try.
As the parent of a preschooler, I know I’ve seen things like this before. But none of them had epic names like the “Galaxy Beetlestar”. This I had to see.
