As many of you are aware, I really enjoy doing reviews for torches that use alternate means of power, whether it be shaking or hand cranking. Last year I reviewed the Gadget Brando Battery Free Flashlight, a torch that was powered solely by hand-cranking. Today, I will be taking a look at a similar product […]

It seems like everyone and their brother has a podcast these days. Personally, I just can’t keep my mind focused on one for any length of time. Maybe I have ADD or something ;o) I’ve had quite a few emails asking why we don’t do one for The Gadgeteer. At the moment, my number one

I recently got a letter from one of our readers, Rob Tripp, telling me I should take a look at a staple-less stapler that he had found. “Well, what is a staple-less stapler”, I thought as I returned his email, “if it’s not a paperclip?” My question was soon answered when I clicked on his

This morning I got an email from Everett, one of our readers that had started coming to The Gadgeteer after we ran the “Only In Your Dreams” PDA Contest, back in 2001. He wanted the link to see the entries, and that prompted me to go back and examine them again for myself. Wow –

Is there a law somewhere that says that all laptop bags have to look like laptop bags? You know what I’m talking about, they tend to be black, boring, made for men and as far away from making a fashion statement as humanly possible. I guess this is my cue to tell you that when

We got back from the UK on Saturday, and other than playing catch-up with almost two weeks worth of ranch business, we are none the worse for wear. While there, we managed to cram in some hideously touristy things like a trip to the Edinburgh Dungeon. One of the fashion trends we noticed in the
