Levenger Circa Leverage Punch Review

circa leverage punch 1

No matter how much I use my gadgets, I could never give up my paper and writing implements.  I’ve always loved school and office supplies, and I was in heaven when I discovered Levenger and their beautiful notebooks, rich papers, and beautiful pens.  Levenger’s Circa system notebooks are perhaps best described as the best of

Mixbook Personalized Printed Photo Books Review

A Mixbook collects your photos and lets you share them with others.

Mixtapes (or mixCDs, if you’re of the younger generation that didn’t have to use tape), those custom-designed soundtracks of your life from high school and before, were ubiquitous. If you liked someone, or wanted to celebrate a special memory or event, you’d make a mixtape to play in the background. We still do similar things

SureFire UB3T Invictus LED Flashlight Review

surefire invictus

Over the years, I have reviewed multiple very nice flashlights. The cream of that crop has always been the SureFire flashlights I have had the privilege to review. There is little argument that the folks at SureFire make extremely well made hardware. However, many comments in my SureFire reviews say they are too expensive and

People are always concerned with keeping their laptop computers running cool.  Laptops can run hot because they usually have small fans to save space inside, and they are often used on soft surfaces that can block the cooling vents.  There are a variety of products designed to cool laptop computers.  Some, like lap desks, are

Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones Review

BW C5 earphones 2

People don’t usually associate Bowers & Wilkins name with reasonably priced audio. Yes, they make killer products, but affordable? Not for the average Joe with little knowledge of how good audio can and should sound. Well, B&W have come out with a pair of earphones that – at least in B&W’s universe – are very

ihome idm15 speakers 1

Almost every portable device available today has the capability to play music, and everywhere you look, you’ll see someone with earphones tuning out the world.  Earphones are great, but sometimes you want to listen to music without feeling so isolated or you want to share your music with others.  Many devices have built-in speakers now,

Nutshell Smartphone Wallet Review

Nutshell Smartphone Wallet 1

New Zealand’s Nutshell Corporation makes a series of cases for handheld devices called “Tuff-as-Nuts”. Gadgeteer Mike Reigel verified that the name was appropriate back in 2003. They combine that reputation with an interesting fastener in a tough wallet case for your smartphone.

Uni Kuru Toga Roulette Model Auto Lead Rotation Mechanical Pencil Review

uni kuru toga 1

REVIEW – Mechanical pencils are very convenient because you don’t have to sharpen them. But, if you’ve ever used one for any length of time, you probably know how easy it is to break the lead as you’re writing. Most of the time, the lead gets a sharp point as you write across the paper

Over the last six months or so, I’ve been in training for an upcoming Tough Mudder event.  I’ve had to bring myself from literal couch potato to gym rat capable of living through a 12 mile run through mud, water, fire, and electricity.  In doing so, I’ve learned the importance of keeping track of my

Timbuk2 Dimebag, Shagg Bag and On the Go Shed Pouch Review

timbuk2 pouch 19

I love Timbuk2 messenger bags for their good looks and versatility. I continue to use their custom laptop messenger bag that I reviewed as my every day gear bag. It’s over 1 year old and still looks brand new. When you think of Timbuk2, you think of larger shoulder bags, but you might be interested in
