Saddleback Leather Company is well known for their rugged bags that are constructed to last a lifetime. A claim which they back up with a whopping 100yr warranty. I’ve reviewed several of their bags in the past couple of years, but this is the first time that they’ve offered to send me one of their

I own two cats, Wylie (who behaves as though he’s the Pharaoh of Egypt) and Hammy (given to me by a homeless person) who is a spaz. I love cats. I also like dogs and I have two of those as well. But one thing I hate is cleaning up after my cats. I have

Man, this review HURTS me to write. I’m a Microsoft fangirl. I have been since before I bought my first computer with 4 mb of memory and a 40 mb hard drive that had to be partitioned so the operating system (DOS) could handle it. I even LOVE Vista. I often liked the way Mac

I’m not a huge water drinker, but the person I live with doesn’t go anywhere without a bottle of water. We buy multi-packs of Aquafina and other name brand bottled water when it is on sale.

I like this laptop stand / cooler from Targus mainly for its simple yet funky design. The CoolWave is designed as its name suggests, it has a wave-like shape that allows hot air from the laptop’s base to quickly dissipate. It has non-skid feet and slots for routing cables. The sub $15 price tag is

Just like spending time in Australia, the BottleMate just makes things fun. The BottleMate looks like a cross between a fingernail clipper and fifteenth century torture device. Its purpose, however, is to access necessary liquid contained in otherwise locked up containers. Ok it’s a beer bottle opener. But it’s fun.

A few years ago, making scrapbooks from photos seemed to be a national obsession. Women especially seemed to spend hours (and untold dollars) preserving photos and family memories while exercising their artistic abilities. I made a few scrapbooks in my day, and they are big, heavy, and hard to store. Picaboo is an online service

Controlling a PC, Mac or Playstation 3 that is connected to your television can sometimes be a huge hassle. Wireless keyboards are too large and bulky, while regular sized remote controls are too small and limited. The GlideTV Navigator Remote combines features from both and packages them into a hand friendly design. But let’s see

There are only 2 full days left before January 1st, 2010 and we all know what that means. It’s new year’s resolution time, the time of year when everyone makes promises to themselves to start working out, eating better and losing weight.

A neat idea for a Christmas gift for your technically challenged friend, family member or co-worker is an electronic introduction in making their lives a little less of a hassle.
