“Blow Your Mind. Not Your Ears” was the tagline that caught my attention. In the 1980s, I was always seen walking between high school classes wearing my skinny ties and jeans with a portable cassette player. At one point, in an effort to improve my listening experience, I even had a battery-operated portable 5-band graphic …

In 2004 when I started playing on-line co-op games with my younger brothers in-law, I shopped around for various stereo headsets with microphones for gaming. They were all either too uncomfortable, or had poor outgoing audio. Eventually, I took drastic measures and made my own, and I’ve …
The Plantronics Explorer 395 is the company’s newest reasonably priced bluetooth headset. Now before I go any further, to put this review into full perspective, I’m also the Moderator at HowardForums for all things Bluetooth. I sadly own more headsets that I have holes in my head, and every new headset that comes out gets …
So you just bought an iPad. What do you carry it in? Thinner than most netbooks, much smaller than most laptops, you are no longer confined to gi-nor-mous bags if you want to carry just the basics. When the iPad was announced, I immediately set out to find a suitable bag. As it turns out, …
I tend to recharge my cell phones over night, whether I really need to or not. I charge everything on my desk, which happens to double as a nightstand.

I first learned about the LOK8U nu.m8 GPS locator from a Gadgeteer post earlier this year. I was intrigued. I’ve had friends who have lost track of their children in crowded places. While it’s never happened to my 4-year old son yet, and I consider myself an attentive parent, I want all the help I …

In the mid 1990s, my best friend and I took a trip to DisneyWorld in Orlando. Every time we returned to the parking lot, we faced a familiar scenario: We couldn’t find our rental car. Simply too many cars! Adding insult to injury, our rental car was a red Chevrolet Corsica… which was a staple …
Ever been in a hit and run accident? Well I have. I made a left turn and I noticed a white Honda Civic with a giant whale tail spoiler closing in fast from my right. “That car isn’t gonna stop for the light” I thought to myself. I slammed on the brakes but it was …

The title sums it up, really. I thought it was no big deal at first, until the next day when I tried to watch something hands-free on my new iPhone 3GS… without a stand. The iPhone/iPod Touch are great for watching video on the go, but if you hold it in your hands, it’s not …
Recently I had a chance to play with- er, I mean, let my preschool-aged son play- with this odd blue thing called the Bilibo Imagination Toy from ThinkGeek.
If you’re like me, you may have a problem with wanting to keep your new toys shiny. For years, I struggled with this issue on my laptops.
