Posts about a variety of topics which are not news and are not reviews.
I have not one standard geek bag, but three! I have a favorite for work, a different one for days off, and, if I’m taking my lunch to work, I have my required condiment and tools selection. Let’s start with the last mentioned – my lunch kit.

I have been doing my best to minimize what I carry with me on a regular basis for years now. It is a constant battle between what I might need and the reality of what I have time to use/deal with in a given day. My type-A personality is always pushing me to bring a mountain

Recently, Julie asked every one on the Gadgeteer team to show what they carry with them on a daily basis. Well, since I began reviewing gadgets – mostly audio related – my backpack has become fuller and heavier. I decided to just list what was in my backpack on the day I took the photo.

Others have posted their everyday carry bags, so I thought I would post mine as well. However, I am a homemaker who focuses on karate, so my EDC bag is much different than my fellow Gadgeteers. I do not have a backpack or special bag for everyday; I just use my purse. It’s boring and

Recently, Julie suggested we follow up on what WE carry on an everyday basis. She’s set the standard, so here’s what I carry!

I don’t have a 9-5 job. I work from home, and I don’t have to carry a huge gear bag with me everywhere I go. In the past, I’ve used just a Dooney & Bourke Multi-Function wallet to carry my ID, a couple of cards, and my phone as my go-to-lunch wallet. I recently decided

Two months have passed since my first article outlining all the gear I carry with me each day, so it’s time to see which items I’ve dropped and the new gear that I have added.

A few weeks ago I published a gadget diary post sharing my experiences with trying to get Qi wireless charging working with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3. Long story short, I ordered a wireless charging patch (receiver) and a Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging pad and it didn’t work. One of our frequent readers (Haesslich) left

In my recent How to prevent your child from making in-app purchases on your iPad article, I mentioned that Apple should make it possible to restrict access to only certain apps for kids. Little did I know that there was already a way to lock a user into only a single app. Combine this feature with blocking

Let’s face it we live in a disposable age, phones have a desirable life span of less than 2 years, printer ink costs more than a new printer, things break within the first couple of years, and we just go and replace them. A true Gadgeteer covets the latest and greatest, but in the “old

In the Cloninger household, it’s always easy for Rachel to know what gifts to to get us. For me, she always knows some sort of case or small gadget or even an iTunes card will be just what I will love. Butch is pretty easy, too, but he’d prefer some little gadget for his guitars

How big is too big when it comes to the size of a smartphone? That’s the question I’ve been trying to answer for myself lately. I’ve been using a Samsung Galaxy S III for the past 6 months, but only recently I decided to try a Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note II. The Note II

Every day, I see stories about some person contacting the media to complain Apple wouldn’t reimburse them for in-app purchases their kids made on an iPad. You see people complaining about charges of a couple hundred dollars to well over $1000 made in a 10 minute period. The latest story I’ve been seeing is about

Have you seen the all the news items about the ePad Femme from Eurostar Group? (Scroll down to their February 14, 2013 entry for the announcement.) All the news sites have articles about it.

This post brought to you by Intel. All opinions are 100% mine. I had the privilege this past weekend to attend an Intel sponsored event in Washington DC. It was a perfect day and venue. Its purpose was to highlight the finalists in a science competition. It was a half day event and showcased the projects of

I felt it was time for a quick followup on my original Joyetech e-cigarette review. I’ve now been almost six months cigarette-free, that’s approximately 4500 cigarettes I haven’t smoked! So no 4000+ nasty chemicals, a huge saving in money, my taste has returned, I’m feeling way healthier and my clothes (and I) don’t stink !

I thought it might be interesting and useful for me to capture a visual and text list of my EDC (Every Day Carry) gear on a monthly basis. Seeing my gear might give you ideas for your own EDC and I’m hoping you might make suggestions for things I should look at that might replace

So, the Consumer Electronic Show 2013 (CES) is on right now. A Gadgeteer writer’s heaven wouldn’t you think? I’m probably seeing about 5000+ news items a day from the show via my feeds, but there are lots of repetition there, so let’s say 900 unique news items. The problem is that, truth be told, I’m not

2012 was a busy year for The Gadgeteer. We published a total of 2006 articles of which 411 were reviews. That is a lot of product reviews my friends. The bulk of that work would NOT have been possible without my hardworking gadget crazed team of writers. We all thought it would be interesting to
