REVIEW – PopSockets™ phone holders have been around long enough to almost define the category, like ChapStik™ or Kleenex™.

REVIEW – So many little bits and bobs are involved with being a True Gadgeteer. Dongles for your laptops and displays. Chargers. (So. Many. Chargers!) Data cards for drones, cameras, phones, tablets and your great-aunt Sophie’s digital picture frame. A tech pouch to gather similar-but-separate bits and pieces for your devices is a good thing.

REVIEW – Vacuuming or dusting inside is such a thankless task: you clean today, and three days later, it looks like you’ve never cleaned! I have a long-haired dog, so I can live with a large amount of leaves, dirt, and sweet gum balls scattered around my house, but at some point, I just have

REVIEW – Packing towels for travel is a pain. Most of them need to be fluffy in order to be absorbent, which makes them bulky. Then, they have to flap around in the air to dry. In the last few decades, however, new materials have been developed that give you great absorption without the bulk.

REVIEW – The curse of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is that it takes two devices to work in. You need to have a keyboard for input, and a pointing device for moving the insertion point around and selecting/dragging graphical elements about. Originally, that was a keyboard and mouse. The laptop brought it down to

REVIEW – Most knowledge workers today use a graphical user interface on their computing devices. Sure, we may spend time in a *nix terminal or text editor or even a coding Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but all of those are contained in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that’s navigated through a mouse/trackpad/pen/touch interface. When switching

REVIEW – Cargo pants have been derided as inappropriate for most settings, but they have a certain utility that appeals to those of us in the geekier, carry-a-lot-of-stuff professions. Enter tactical pants. A riff on the military Basic Daily Uniform (BDU) with a little more flexibility in fabric, patterns, and pocket layouts. I’ve used them

REVIEW – There’s an old joke about what to get the person who has everything: “Something to keep it in.” Many EDC folks have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to multitools, flashlights, and knives. Having a place to store or at least collect these items together for easy access is right in the

REVIEW – Home lighting continues to encourage companies to innovate and bring new products to market. LEDs are taking over the lighting market, due to their flexibility, long life, and low energy requirements.
