REVIEW – I’ve had a case on my iPhone going all the way back to my iPhone 3GS. Not only does a case provide some measure of protection from bumps and scratches, but it also allows you to express your individual style. I’ve run the gamut from uber-protective, Iron Man armor type cases to ultra-minimalist,

REVIEW – In my opinion, pens are like money, you can never have enough! I feel the same way about EDC Gear, so a pen that is worthy enough to become part of my EDC is definitely worth taking a look at. Today I want to show you the keychain pen from Arrow & Eaves.

REVIEW – When you think about cordless vacuums, what brand comes to mind? For me, it’s Dyson. The Dyson stick vacuums pretty much set the standard for cordless suction, provided your needs are mostly cleaning larger areas. Even with the shorter attachments, wiggling a Dyson into the nooks and crannies of your car, or even

REVIEW – Although in my day job as an engineer I’ve begun to convert over to digital note-taking out of practicality, I still do take quite a few handwritten notes, and if truth be told, I enjoy it—there’s something quite satisfying about writing with a good pen in a good notebook. Over the past several

REVIEW – In 2008 I had a unique and magical gadget called the Livescribe pen, which was my first foray into the world of digital handwriting. It was a huge, fat ink pen that used special paper and a camera built into the pen to capture what you were writing. It also had a microphone

REVIEW – For the most part, I think the optimal input device for an iPad is one’s fingers. Some people, however, have a need to enter a lot of text.
