My current favorite Bluetooth headset is the Cardo Systems scala-500 that I reviewed earlier this summer. This headset comes with a clip that allows you to hook it on your eye / sunglasses. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work too well if you have thin framed glasses. Evan Koblentz just emailed me with a hack that will

This one is for all of you travelers out there. Start rejoicing, because I’m going to tell you about a gadget that will replace that soggy ziploc baggie that no self-respecting gadgeteer should be using. You know what I’m talking about, we all know that Blue and Yellow make Green, but do we really want to use a baggie to hold our toothbrush and toothpaste, when we can use something cool like the OHSO Marco Travel Toothbrush instead? I didn’t think so.

Updated with Day 2
This year, Microsoft changed things up and decided to hold two Mobius events back to back. The first one was held in Thailand, and the second one here in the US. Typically, the events here in the US have always been held in Seattle, WA., near Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters. But this year they opted for Boston, MA. Lucky for me, I was invited to the Boston event. This meant a short 2hr flight, instead of 4-5 hours to Seattle.

Gadgeteer Garage Sale! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve cleared out the gear cabinets here at Gadgeteer HQ. So, it’s time for a purging! I figure this time I’ll kick it old school and just post everything here on the site instead of going through eBay. If you see something you definitely want, email

No doubt some of you eagle eye users will have noticed that Judie’s gear diary is missing. No, she didn’t fall off the side of the earth or anything like that… She is moving on to other opportunities. One such opportunity is a new site that she is just now starting up, called GearDiary (great

I’m back from Mobius Boston. Yeah, I know I said I’d write about the event while I was there, but I lied. I’ll have report early next week though! And that aint no lie. ;o) I arrived home to find a BIG box in my living room. The 24″ iMac arrived. Yay! So I stayed

I’ve always been fascinated by small tools. I guess it comes from being a little kid and watching my Dad work on things in the garage. I even had my own little toolbox that I kept under my bed. It was actually an old metal fishing tackle box full of parts from little machines that I’d dismantled. That love of small tools and objects didn’t leave me as I grew up. That’s why I had to take a closer look at the tools made by Peter Atwood when I saw many people on the EDCforums talking about his offerings.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far. The weather here has been pretty icky, so it’s been a nice day to just stay inside surfing on the net and watching TV. I went crazy on Friday and ordered a 24″ iMac with all the trimmings (except 3gb of RAM, I settled for

The first time I ever saw a picture of the iCarta (from Atech Flash Technology), I thought it had to be a joke. Who would make an iPod speaker system that doubled as a toilet paper holder? The date on my calendar did not say April Fools day though, so this was actually a real honest to goodness new iPod accessory. Now in addition to having an iPod in your pocket, in your office and in your living room, you can also have one in the bathroom. The iCarta box says that it will enhance your experience. Ok, I won’t go there…

Here’s something for those of you that like to goof around with cube toys when you should be working. You KNOW who you are! Acrobots from our friends in the UK at CrazyAboutGadgets.com come in singles or 3-packs. These are little people shaped thingies with magnetic feet and hands. You can pose their bodies, and

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Audioengine 5 Speaker System and was totally blown away by the wonderful sound they produced. This was the first higher end iPod speaker system that I had the opportunity to review and I immediately understood that when it comes to speaker systems, you definitely get what you pay for. In the months that have followed the review, I have continued to enjoy the Audioengine’s. But you know me, I’m always on the look out for something better, so when GINI Systems sent me information regarding their vacuum tube based iTube and iConec iPod speaker bundle, I knew I had to test it out.

Off topic alert… Last August, we had to put our 15 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi to sleep. I didn’t think I’d ever be ready to have another dog again, since Kasey was my first dog and it really tore me up when she was gone. One year has passed and now the ‘when can

You guys probably know by now that I’ve turned into a messenger bag junkie. It’s not like I need to be admitted into a 12 step program for this addiction, but I can’t help but want to try every mess bag that I can get my hands on. The latest one in my possession is the Z Messenger from Zitteli.

Tonight I decided to go ahead and try / buy 2 of 9 the new iPod games, because the preview option through the ITMS (iTunes Music Store) didn’t work for me. After downloading it took me awhile to get the games to install on my iPod. I kept getting an error telling me that my
