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.

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

Not only do I love pocket tool kits, I have a real need to carry a variety of tools with me at work. Not just the pliers and screwdrivers common on most multi-tools, but other tools as well. I was pleasantly surprised by Doc Allen’s Versatool.

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

Protecting my iPad from scratches isn’t something I think about that much. I used to be really obsessive about my gadgets, but these days I worry less and use them more. I don’t use a case at all with my iPhone and it doesn’t have any scratches on the screen, even after a year of

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Swiss Army Knives . All opinions are 100% mine. In my opinion, you can’t really call yourself a true gadgeteer unless you have at least one Swiss Army knife somewhere in your arsenal of tools. The company that has brought us the iconic Red

I’ve always loved taking photos, but I’m not so good with keeping my photos arranged to make it easy to enjoy looking at them. A few years ago, I tried scrapbooking, but that’s a very expensive hobby. A single book could end up costing hundreds when you factor in cost of printing the pictures, buying

Back in the stone age when I was a kid, we had classic toys like Etch-a-Sketch, Spirograph and Lite-Brite. I had the first two, but never had the pleasure of having a Lite-Brite.
