Posts about a variety of topics which are not news and are not reviews.
We recently held a contest where I asked for feedback on what we’re doing well and what could use improvement. Although it’s always very nice to receive compliments and praise for the things you like and enjoy here on the site, I was more interested in hearing about the not so good things. The things […]

How’s this for the ultimate “gear bag”? After years upon years of wanting one, I finally decided to just go for it and bought a 2013 MINI Cooper S Hardtop. I’ve been driving it for a little over a week now and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed driving a car

Several weeks ago I asked everyone on the Gadgeteer team to write up a quick post about their most used mobile apps regardless of which platform they use – Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. So far we’ve had quite a few great posts detailing a nice selection of applications – some I’d never tried before.

Your friendly, neighborhood Gadgeteer team has recently been posting some great news items describing their EDC or their everyday carry gear. I’m a tad late to this party, but hopefully I can make up for it a bit with lots of detailed info on the items I carry and use on a daily basis. Let’s

Trying to select my top 5 Android apps is a bit like choosing your favorite child. I use my phone all day long every day for just about everything… email, calendaring, music, texting, searching for information, surfing, gaming, processing credit cards, social media engagement, taking pictures, video chatting, navigation, and everything in between. So as

This post brought to you by zeebox. All opinions are 100% mine. Watching TV with a friend is sometimes better than watching your favorite programs by yourself – so long as they don’t start talking over the dialog on the screen!

The topic came up recently around The Gadgeteer about what apps we have on our mobile devices. Now, I have a lot of apps between my iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, but out of all of the apps I have, I only use a handful of them on a regular basis. The ones listed below

I use these 4 apps daily on both my iPad Mini and HTC One Android phone. These apps have been extremely useful for my personal and business usage. I’m sure some of you have heard of or are using these apps: Evernote, Dropbox, LogMeIn, and Crestron.

When Julie first suggested that we write some posts about our favorite apps that we use every day, my first thought was, “Oh, yeah, I have tons of those!” But then I stopped to think about it. Yes, I do have many, many apps on my iPhone (probably too many–its memory is nearly full, actually).

I recently spent three days in Detroit, Michigan, as one of 200 guests at Ford Motor Company’s annual Trend Conference. The event was a showcase of several Ford products, but more importantly, it’s a look into the future direction of technology and environmental concerns for Ford and the auto industry as a whole. It

Gadgeteer reader Gary Henderson sent in a great tip for anyone who wants to increase the volume on their tablet without spending money on portable speakers or other accessories. All you need is a simple paper, plastic or Styrofoam cup and a pair of scissors or a knife. Cut a slot in the cup and

Sometimes you want to view or edit a document on your smartphone. I’ve found a couple of apps that allow you to do just that: CloudOn and Kingsoft Office. They have a lot in common: they’re both free, they both offer a wealth of features, they both connect to your cloud accounts, and they are

It’s time again for another inventory of our everyday carry items, or as I loosely refer to them “my survival gear”, so I wanted to share them with the outside world. And surprisingly, I found out that I use each and every item daily in one form or another. And some more than others.

Since readers seemed to enjoy our lists of daily-use gear, Julie thought readers might be interested in reading about the apps used daily by The Gadgeteer’s writers. I mostly use apps on my iPad, so I’ll talk about some of my favorite apps on that device. Some of these are used daily, but others earn

As you have become aware, Julie challenged us to open our everyday carry bags to share what has become our standard gear. It was an interesting exercise, I used the opportunity to get rid of some gear that has remained in my bag, but when I was done, I still had a lot. You

All the other team members are showing off their wares, so suppose I’d better join the herd. 🙂 Problem is I actually have more than one EDC bag depending on things like day of the week, mode of transport, and destination. Things just seem to move in and out of different bags. I’ve just grabbed

A little late to the EDC party, but then again I was busy cleaning out my bag for spring cleaning! I regularly carry a laptop bag with me on a daily basis since my laptop is my daily work computer as well as my work-at-home computer. Not pictured are a couple of ink pens,

Recently Julie asked us to do a post on what we carry every day. My two bags vary depending on if it’s a weekday or a weekend.

My EDC is actually pretty light compared to a few years back when I carried extra things like a laptop and loads of paperwork. I have 3 businesses in 3 different locations so it wasn’t ideal to always have to carry so many things around, even though the car would be the one carrying it.

When Julie dropped her latest EDC on us, it was interesting to see everything she carries on a daily basis. (My shoulder hurts just viewing it.) When she asked us to share our EDC’s with everyone, I ended up being in what I found to be a not so unique situation; I work from home,
