My favorite style of pants, next to blue jeans, is cargo pants. One of the things that I like best about cargos – beyond the fact that they are usually cut with comfort in mind -is that they always have lots of pockets. Whether I am scrambling through the ruins at Mesa Verde, hiking at […]

What did everyone do over their holiday break? Besides napping and eating (in that order) I became really interested in watching Video Blogs (Vlogs).

Being able to scan documents, magazine articles or pages from books is easy when you’re in the office with a flatbed scanner nearby.

When I was looking for a case to hold my U2 Edition iPod, one of the biggest considerations was that it stay true to the digital music player’s striking red and black coloring. Of course I wanted protection for my iPod from the occasional fit of butterfingers, but I also wanted a case that would

If your main computer happens to be a laptop instead of a desktop, you may find it difficult to use a cramped keyboard, track-point or touch pad as your primary methods of input.

It’s Christmas Day, which means it is just a week away from the end of the year, which means…time for me to clean out my gadget closet. I know, I can be a total weirdo sometimes, but tonight just seemed like as good a time as any. Sarah is in the other room watching her

I know that it’s too late to order these for Christmas, but Toy Brando has some cute offerings that they sent me to check out. One is a little walking turtle. Press his shell and he starts walking / running. Press and hold, and he stops. Nothing overly exciting, but kids will love it (I’m

Last year I reviewed Bluetake’s i-PHONO BT420EX Bluetooth headphones. Although they had great sound, they had a funky design that really didn’t appeal to me. I don’t mind looking geeky, but there’s a point that none of us need to cross ;o) You can see what I mean if you follow the link above to
