There aren’t too many things that taste as yummy as a freshly grilled burger or hotdog on a warm summer day. Strangely, I have a charcoal grill in my garage that has barely been used though. Every time I think about using it, I change my mind because I don’t want to drag it out

I want to begin this review by stating that the Photonic Disruptor by Wicked Lasers is not a toy. It is a ‘laser weapon designed for military and law enforcement use only’. It is a tactical weapon designed to temporarily overwhelm a threat’s visual senses without causing permanent eye damage. SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin It

I’m a few days into my Mac vacation and so far I’ve only broke the rules once… I used my Mac / Photoshop to work up the images in this article. Gimp is nice, but I’ve been unable to figure out how to save jpgs at lower resolutions while having them still look crisp. Other

Well, I popped my favourite earphones to one side and have been reviewing the ‘Woodphones’ from Artwizz for the last few days. I’ve used a lot of In-Ear Monitors (or IEMs as they are known) in the past, some of which have been stated as being the ‘best’ on the market, incorporating not only an excellent

I stood in line with the rest of the gadget faithful to buy the first generation iPhone on the day that it was released. Then when the 3G came out, I decided not to upgrade because 3G service wasn’t available yet in my town (Columbus, Indiana) and the new slightly thinner form factor didn’t seem

My time with the Palm Pre has come to an end. As each day has passed, I’ve grown more fond of this phone, but I still do not see myself switching carriers from AT&T to Sprint for it. It’s a nice first generation webOS device from Palm, but it’s not quite what I had dreamed
