I love a hot cup of tea in the morning to go along with my breakfast. During the work week, I typically drink Stash Tea Premium White tea from individually packaged tea bags. On the weekend I’m more adventurous and like to try different loose teas. I’ll either use a French press or a mesh

Happy New Year everyone! Where did 2008 go? Did it pass by as quickly for all of you like it did for me? Typically on January 1st, I look back at the previous year and am either very happy that it’s gone, or a little melancholy. I’m not quite sure what I think about the

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m really big into recycling. I hate throwing things away and will try to repurpose or give items to someone else before I send them to the landfill. That’s why I was happy to learn that Better Energy Systems Ltd. (the same company that brings us

The DT-4 is a strobe style musical instrument tuner from Korg. It might be a good alternative to the more expensive Peterson strobe tuners. I’ve ordered one to review and use with my ukuleles.

The GoStudio from Belkin appears to have been around for a few months, but this is the first that I’ve seen it. It’s a portable (sorta… it looks kind of bulky though) WAV file recorder that records directly to your iPod. I like the funky dials and switches.

Remember the review I wrote recently of the Pogo Stylus for the iPhone? Ten One Design’s latest creation is the Pogo Sketch. It appears to be longer than their stylus and is being marketed for use for both the iPhone and multi-touch Macbooks. You can use the Sketch to…ummm… sketch things on the Macbook trackpad.
