I was given a nice little Earth Day surprise this morning when I was walking into my day job at Cummins Inc. Everyone was given a free Compact Fluorescent light bulb. In the past year, I’ve actually replaced approximately 75-80% of all the bulbs in my house with this more energy conserving type. I had

I’ve had the opportunity to play with quite a few wacky USB devices in the past few years. Everything from a USB refrigerator and a USB drum kit, to a USB letter opener.
The latest interesting USB gadget to show up on my door step is the USB Hygro-Thermometer from Brando. This flash drive sized device can measure both temperature and humidity.

Last year I reviewed the Coast LED Lenser Auto LED (TT7575), a nifty little LED flashlight specifically designed to fit in your car’s 12V power port (cigarette lighter socket). Like anything that is new and useful, imitations start to appear. Today I want to show you the Spotlight LED flashlight from Weiguo Solutions. Let’s see if this little flashlight is either a lame copy of the original, or a much better version.

So who else felt the earthquake this morning? I live in southern Indiana, and was lying in bed when it happened. I actually didn’t feel a thing. I just heard some weird noises and thought it was Max my cat running up and down the hall like a wacko. Then the DJ on the radio
What is the worst thing about setting up a stereo speaker system? In my opinion, it’s running all the necessary wires. I always said that if I ever build a new house, that it will have speaker wiring pre-installed in all the walls. But for an existing house without this feature, what do you do to get around this issue? You can either buy a wireless speaker system, or you can check out a wireless audio adapter like the one I’m going to tell you about today from Audioengine. The AW1 Premium Wireless Audio Adapter is designed for Audioengine’s A5 speaker system (my current favorite speakers), but will work with any other speakers just fine.

One of the great things about PDA’s is the ability to carry a huge library of books in electronic form. I must have a couple hundred books on mine, ranging from reference to how-to to light fiction. It is sweet to be able to carry 20-30 pounds worth of paper in a few ounces of electronics!
Many Palm users use this ability to carry one or more versions of the Bible with them- makes those cute, little, nearly impossible to read ‘pocket-sized’ Bibles obsolete! There are many options for ‘e-Bibles’, from iPod versions to MP3 spoken versions to e-texts that can be read by most text readers, to dedicated readers with special tools for the job. These last versions are what we will look at here.

You know what I love about being The Gadgeteer? Those times when one of my friends or co-workers say something like “I sure wish I had a gadget that would allow me to [fill in the blank].” Just the other day, I overheard someone say that they wished they had a quick and dirty way to connect a bare SATA hard drive to their computer to copy files from it. I immediately told them that I had just what they needed, the 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA HDD dock with USB hub from Brando.
