Much like the movies or music they’re meant for, earbuds are a highly subjective gadget. Something so mundane can literally run the gamut of options–heavy bass, no bass, in ear, on ear, plastic, metal, etc and spark heated debate as to superiority. I am in no way an audiophile, but I can hear and appreciate

Some time ago, I saw an iTunes commercial where they demonstrated an app that could “listen” to a song and tell you what it is and who performs it. This app was just what I needed. No longer would I hear something on the radio that I liked but had no idea what it was

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ series of USB flash drives provide the expected level of performance for a USB memory stick, with the added security of password protected access and 256-bit AES Hardware Based Encryption, for a slight premium in cost over non-secure storage.

It has been more than 20 years since I have regularly carried a backpack (college to be exact). It was a ratty (at least by the time I got done with it) old JanSport with mediocre construction, little comfort, and zero accommodations for tech-stuff, being the 80’s and all ;). Jumping to present day, today’s

I’m going to buck a trend here and say that getting older, by and large, does not suck as much as I was led to believe. I’m 32 and while half of my readers will be saying something akin to, “Old? That’s not old! I’m old! That young sapling is talking foolishness again!”, it’s nevertheless

I’ve been looking for a SATA drive docking station that’s both easy to use and reasonably inexpensive. A while back I looked at the Startech unit, but it seemed more than necessary for a home application. Today I have the Cirago docking station and it may be the answer to my requirements.

Buy one. That’s the review. Just buy this UPS. This device will save your computer’s butt. I know from personal experience. On Monday morning, May 10 about 4 am, another typical Indiana spring storm blew through my small Mayberry-esque town. A dead branch from my neighbor’s 200 year old white oak sheared off and hit

For years now, my family has used neoprene lunch bags from a company called Built. (As I recall, they used to be called BuiltNY.) These bags are sturdy, well-made, and they come in a variety of colors and designs. They hold up really well. We’re still using the bags we bought several years ago. Built

I live in the piedmont region of North Carolina. In exchange for our usually mild winters, we have hot, humid summers that are ripe for thunderstorms and even tornados. (We’ve already had tornados in the area this year, and it’s not even summer yet.) We often also find ourselves in the path of hurricanes. About
