REVIEW – Productivity. I’ve been told I need to be more productive, in more ways than one. In an effort to avoid any “physical” productivity, I decided to try my hand at being more electronically productive, at least while on the road. I have a tiny little laptop and not the best eyes anymore. When

REVIEW – If you’re like me, garden spades need to be replaced yearly, assuming they last a single season. Maybe it’s something in Idaho dirt or user error, but while they’re useful, they seem to bend in half or crack before too long. Enter The Original Hori Hori Namibagata Japanese Stainless Steel Weeding Knife! I
REVIEW – I am, at best, an amateur photographer. I don’t have a lot of fancy equipment. I do have what I consider to be a good camera but my tripod was getting long in the tooth. One of the legs just flops around willy-nilly and I have to take apart the head numerous times
