After reviewing the wonderful Audyssey Audio Dock Air speaker and the even better sounding original Audyssey Audio Dock, I had become a bit spoiled by how Audyssey makes my favorite music sound. Their self-amplified speakers are almost unbelievably powerful for their size and make apologies to no one. They are that good. I was all […]

I’ve always liked the “Apple-esque” design of Apple products and their many accessories. I usually keep an eye out for looking for nice electronic accessories for my home office. I recently had the chance to review the Just Mobile AluCup which caught my eye due to its sleek design. There are a few iPhones in my

When I find a useful gadget or product that fits in with my life, workflow, etc. I then spend a lot of time trying to find the very best version of that gadget or product.

A few years ago, I wrote a news item about the FakeTV, which was a little box with LEDs that flicker, flash, and wane to simulate the look of a TV playing to make it look like someone is home. That little box simulated the light output of a 27″ TV, and that was just

Cameras, 35mm film or digital, can be very expensive investments. Then you have to start buying other equipment, like lenses and filters, that add to the price. Since most cameras built in the recent past have built-in flashes, it seems that adding a speedlight to your setup is often something that can wait until you’ve

It’s always interesting when V-MODA unleashes a new headphone. The original LP Crossfade was V-MODA’s ambitious – and successful – entry into the ever-competitive world of headphones. Its sibling, the Crossfade M-80, was a smaller – and better sounding – headphone. (See the Related Links for reviews of those headphones.) Their newest model is quite

Personally, I’m a money clip-type of guy. I can’t remember when I last carried my cash in a wallet, but I still carry a wallet for the credit cards and identification items. When I discovered the J.

Several years ago, I reviewed the Fenix TK70 LED flashlight (see related posts) and raved about how bright and well made it was. I even gave it a nickname, referring to it as the Ark of the Covenant (AotC) because of the very bright pillar/beam of light it produces, as shown in the picture above. Well fortunately the folks at CR123Batteries.com sent me

I wouldn’t think that I am alone in my observation of our increasing use and reliance on mobile devices in our everyday lives. I also wouldn’t think I was alone in noticing that those devices seem to run out of juice at the most inopportune times. There has been more than a few occasions in

We all know that to stay hydrated, we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. The only thing is though, that water is… well… boring. My beverage of choice used to be Diet Coke, but I was able to wean myself off of it by switching over to ice tea. I

As I do more and more earphone and headphone reviews, I’m struck by the sheer volume of new models becoming available almost daily.
