There are some days when I can’t help but wonder why so many companies are intent on reinventing the paperclip. Okay, not exactly the paperclip in this example, but the clip light. In just the last couple of years, I have seen and reviewed lights with gator clips, lights that clip on hats, lights that

I’m lucky in the fact that I don’t have a problem with back pain (I’m knocking on wood as I say that…). However, I happen to know four people close to me that do: my Dad, my roommate Jeanne, her brother, and Judie’s husband Steve. For them, anything that might help alleviate their pain, would

Having local access to his files has

I’m a cat person, who turned into a dog person, and who is now a dog person trapped inside a cat person’s body. I know that was kinda hard to follow, so let me try to explain… When I was a kid, I was 100% a cat person. This is probably because we never had a dog the whole time I was growing up. We had a big Black and Grey tiger striped cat named Pepper. He was an outdoor cat that only came
inside to eat and hang out. At night, he went right back outside; we
didn’t have a litter box for him in the house.

Am I the only person in the world that doesn’t like playing Sudoku? Seriously, I just can’t get into it. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised as I never liked Minesweeper, Mastermind or other games of that ilk either. Unfortunately, I didn’t know I disliked the game when Brando asked if I would review his $20

Many new cars come with GPS navigation systems. But what if you don’t have one? Adding it might not be practical-perhaps you drive more than one vehicle, travel and rent often, or just don’t want an expensive piece of electronics permanently and visibly stuck to your dash.
