If you use your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus without a case, you are certainly aware that the back camera doesn’t fit flush with the back of the phone. When you try to interact with the phone as it lays on a hard, flat surface, the phone will jiggle and rock as you touch it. […]

There are a variety of ways you can open and lock your home’s door without using a key.

I’ve been intrigued by other Kickstarter products that still haven’t made it to market long after the

We’ve just started planning for a small kitchen update. We’re replacing the countertop, replacing the flooring, and modifying a cabinet to replace the existing cooktop and wall oven with a slide-in range. We’ve been taking lots of measurements, and it’s a pain to take a measurement and stop to write each down so we don’t forget.

Bluetooth keyboard cases for iPads may be a convenient way to always have a keyboard with your tablet, but they do have problems. They are all undersized keyboards, usually with non-standard arrangements of the non-alphabetic keys, and they aren’t always easy to type on, especially for touch typists. The cases are often heavy and clunky

All fans of both Star Trek and sushi are going to need the Star Trek USS Enterprise Sushi Set. When you’re ready to eat some sushi, remove the “warp trails” from the nacelles and you’ll find they are actually BPA-free plastic chopsticks. Lift the lid from from the ship’s saucer and use it as a

After I recovered from the cool factor, I’ve always wondered why people would want to use a projection keyboard with their tablet or smartphone. Sure, the projected keyboard is likely bigger than the on-screen keyboard, but it still suffers from the same problems that the virtual keyboard does – flat, no tactile feedback to let

Although I carry gear, I don’t carry a typical gear bag. I don’t go to an office, so I don’t need a bag big enough to hold a laptop and other job necessities. I just need a bag big enough to carry what I’ll need while I’m out. I have some bags big enough to

Most single-cup coffeemakers require you to use pre-made pods with coffee inside. If you fill your own reusable pods, you can use your own freshly ground beans, but you have no idea how long ago the stuff in those pre-made pods was ground. To insure you have the freshest, tastiest cup of coffee without having

When I reviewed the Keurig 2.0 K550 Coffee Brewing System last November, the only complaint I had was that you can’t use your own coffee in a reusable capsule nor can you use store-brand pods. Green Mountain Roasters, Keurig’s parent company, had put some sort of “DRM” restrictions in their new 2.0 machines so they
We’ve already seen a couple of charging stands for the Apple Watch before it’s even available to pre-order, but neither of those can touch the CalypsoTimeless charger for sheer elegance.
