Even though the calendar says that October is almost here, San Angelo managed to hit 107º yesterday – our hottest day on record – beating 105º for the same date in 1977. For people that live in a West Texas frying pan such as my town, it is simply too darn hot to go around

Alkaline battery technology was introduced in the 1950s, and it quickly became a major part of everyday life.

I recently got a letter from one of our readers, Rob Tripp, telling me I should take a look at a staple-less stapler that he had found. “Well, what is a staple-less stapler”, I thought as I returned his email, “if it’s not a paperclip?” My question was soon answered when I clicked on his

As a devoted gadget freak, I have as much interest in ways to carry my assorted gadgets as I have in the gadgets themselves. As soon as a new gadget is in hand, I am off to look for a way to carry it around with me. I often like to have multiple gadgets, so

Here’s a nifty little gizmo for all the electric guitar players out there, who also happen to be Gadgeteers. The JamPlug FM from DVForge is a module that can turn an FM radio into a guitar amplifier. Those of you that do not have any experience with electric guitars should know that playing most solid
REVIEW – Last summer I reviewed the first version TEC Hat by SCOTTeVEST, and while I really liked the idea of a hat with a hidden compartment and Personal Area Network (PAN), the TEC Hat just didn’t work for me because it was too small – in fact it fit me like a beanie. This

I really find it disturbing that even if you are completely fastidious about purging temporary files, personal information can still be harvested from a computer’s hard drive. What if you are on vacation and happen to use an internet cafe’s computer? Or what if you are a student using a PC in one of your
As I have mentioned in the past, I get concerned when I see people on the street that are not properly outfitted for maximum visibility. Whether it be an older married couple taking an after-dinner stroll, a fitness buff running in the early morning hours, a Policeman directing traffic in the rain, or a teenager

If you are the type that pulls CDs out of their cases without returning them after use, then you probably have found that it is very easy to scratch or misplace those same CDs. Let’s face it, CDs come with cases because they need protection when they are not lying in a CD tray. Disc-it!
As most of you that have read any of my LED flashlight reviews know, there is a long dark hallway that runs down the spine of my home. While this hallway is fabulous for taking pictures of a flashlight beam’s reach or for hanging a mini art gallery, this same hallway used to give my

Last year I reviewed a Victorinox knife that was equipped with a detachable 64MB SwissBit USB memory module. I was recently sent a major upgrade to what I had already determined was an excellent product.

I’ve always been a huge fan of very small computers and have had several such devices throughout the years. A few notable ones come to mind… Remember the REX PC Companion? It was a PDA in a PCMCIA card form factor. What about the hard to find IBM PC110 palmtop computer? Then there was the Toshiba Libretto.

Product Requirements: Two 3V CR2032 Batteries Sometimes it pays to blend in with the crowd and not catch any unwanted attention. However, there are some times when getting others’ notice is exactly what is wanted, whether it be for safety or individual expression. For those that have the need of high visibility with a twist,
