Some folks are “shoe” folks, some ladies are “purse” folks and many people who read this site are “bag folks”. They love bags to carry gadgets in! A company out of the UK called Bodykit is bringing some pretty unusual designs to the market. Don’t think camping and back-packing with these. These are considered “urban”

Here’s a question for you: If you are less than satisfied with how your favorite music sounds using iTunes on a Mac, where would you first look for a solution? Better speakers?

As I finish this article I learned that Hewlett-Packard, Inc. has decided to discontinue operations for webOS devices specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. What this means for current owners has yet to be announced. It’s a shame that yet another nice operating system is going to end up in the tech graveyard, but while

I know that iOS 4.x now includes the ability to print, but that function only works with certain Airprint-enabled printers from HP. If you don’t have one of these HP printers, as I don’t, you’re out of luck printing from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. When I got the press release from Epson recently

I am not a gamer at all. If I spend more than 10 minutes playing anything….its too much time wasted ;). But on those rare occasions that I do feel like passing a bit of (non-productive) time, I typically play Words With Friends with my peeps. That said, my father was a C-130 pilot in

Digital cameras are great. They’re convenient, fun, and are becoming idiot-proof. Then the Fuji X100 came into my life and I realized just how lazy and dependent on technology I’ve been when taking snapshots. How did this happen? I have a love-hate thing with digital cameras. First, the technology keeps advancing that lures me into

Julie’s recent talk of wanting to design her own modular wallet system reminded me of a little bag I’ve owned for some time now. When we got rid of our landline, I needed a way to keep my cell phone with me around the house. Most of my clothes don’t have pockets, so I needed

Carrying a keyboard for long typing sessions on a portable device can be a hassle. There are many keyboards that can connect, cases that contain keyboards, and stands that make the combination more useful.

Last year I reviewed the Yeti USB microphone. At the time, I really liked the microphone, and over the last year using it, my opinion of it has only improved. Honestly, when it comes to my needs, the Yeti was definitely a 10. When they released the Yeti Pro, I was intrigued to see what
