WaterField Designs Bolt backpack review

Waterfield Bolt 13

Invisible zippers. That’s what initially struck me when I first saw the new Waterfield Designs Bolt Backpack. When I unpacked and inspected it, I couldn’t find the zippers. Only when I noticed the leather zipper pulls, did I see how ingenious the disappearing zippers are. It’s really cool. But that’s not the only cool thing […]

Milestone Pod run tracker (3rd generation) review

milestone 3g 1

Several months ago I reviewed the Milestone Pod, a non-GPS run tracking device. I found it to be a very useful run tracker; not only was it accurate, easy to use, and affordable, but it kept track of how many miles you’ve ran in your current running shoes. Seasoned runners will tell you shoes need to

MOS Stash iPhone Wallet Case review

MODStash 3

Wallet phone cases have been around for a while. Not the slip-a-few-cards-in-the-back cases, but the fold-over, cover-the-screen type wallet cases. Most have an elastic band to hold them closed, but they are all fraught with difficulties, not the least of which is holding your entire wallet up to your ear during a phone call. Enter

ECOVACS DEEBOT N78 Floor Cleaning Robot review

DeeBot 1

Robot vacuums are proliferating, and it’s wonderful. It’s a perfect match, a mindless machine for a mindless task. I hate vacuuming, but living in dusty farming country and having a big hairy dog, it is a necessity. We’ve had another vacuum robot doing the job for the last 2 years and I’ve been satisfied with

Vaja Leather Suit for the 15″ MacBook Pro review

vaja 15mbpro leathersuit 1

I have reviewed several of Vaja’s Leather Suits over the years. All perfectly fitted for each of my Apple laptops and constructed with some of the finest materials available. Each Suit was handcrafted by artisans who created a, for lack of a better word, piece of art to protect my various MacBooks. And the Leather Suit for

Focal Listen headphones review

Focal Listen 2

When I reviewed the Focal Spirit Classic, Professional and One S headphones, I marveled how a French maker of insanely expensive speakers could manage to produce affordable headphones. Yes, they’re expensive, but not when compared to their heritage. Well, that’s all changed. Focal has released three new headphones and while the Elear (review coming) headphone
