Two years ago, I reviewed the digiZoid ZO “personal subwoofer” (see related posts) and absolutely loved it. In short, the digiZoid ZO was a portable, personal headphone accessory that boosted low frequencies to give that fuller, richer sound that many of us enjoy. I love the original digiZoid zo so much, it singlehandedly ruined music […]

Shortly after the iPhone 5 was available for pre-order, I went ahead and ordered up a pair of extra Lightning-to-USB cables from the Apple Store so I would have some extras for the office and travel. I got them today, before the anticipated Friday, September 21st iPhone 5 release date.

The Solder : Time II™ watch kit from Spikenzie Labs is a build-it-yourself watch kit that features a 7 X 20 dot matrix red LED display with a programmable Arduino microcontroller. To me, quite simply, it’s a fun afternoon DIY kit with red lights. What could be better? According to Spikenzie Labs, The Solder :

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.

Saddleback Leather Company‘s newest addition is the Gadget Bag. It’s boxier than your typical briefcase, and looks and feels incredible like all of Saddleback Leather’s products. I recently got a digital SLR camera, so the Gadget Bag’s shape caught my attention. Let’s take a look.

Sure, there are LEGO bricks that light up, but do they blink in different colors? Brick Brites are motion activated pieces that work “with major toy brick brands” and blink when tapped, which helps conserve battery life. That’s good, because I don’t see a way to change the batteries. Comes in White/Red, White/Green and White/Blue for $9.99

Remember those “multimedia” upgrades for PCs years ago that consisted of a sound card, speakers and a desktop microphone? That’s what the USB TableMike 3-in-1 Desktop Microphone from SpeechWare reminded me of at first, except it wasn’t beige and flimsy. Why would I need a desktop microphone when my 27″ iMac desktop has everything built

I’ve been playing with several different kinds of GPS tracking devices for a while, including the nu.m8 GPS Child Locator Watch. The nu.m8 GPS tracking system used a GPS receiver to determine location, and would “report” it’s location when “pinged” via SMS or computer to give the latest position. So for the most part, it

Make no mistake. We’re suckers for flashlights at The Gadgeteer! I thought I’d seen it all, but this odd duck grabbed my attention. The WorkStar 2000 Technician’s Floodlight from Maxxeon has a swiveling head, magnets, a hook and a rechargeable battery? Let’s take a look!

How do you add a little flash to brushing your teeth? Why, with a Firefly Toothbrush, that’s how! Getting kids to brush for the dentist-recommended two minutes has always been a challenge. The Firefly Toothbrush lights up and blinks for one minute, making teeth brushing fun so kids will do it longer.

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…

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
