Vaja i-volution Macbook Air Leather Suit Review

By Dave Rees / August 12, 2008 / Uncategorized / Bags, Laptop bag, Laptops and Gear / 2 Comments

Incase Neoprene Sleeve and the Thinvelope Leather Slipper Case for the Macbook Air are both very nice cases in their own right. They provide the Macbook Air protection while it travels within their soft interiors, but provide little to no protection while your MBAir is in use. The i-volution Leather Suit for the Macbook Air takes protecting your Air to a whole new level. Vaja has designed the i-volution Leather Suit to be worn all the time…never to be taken off; 24/7 protection.

Ever dream of pumping your iPod’s tunes to multiple rooms in your home? Setting up a whole house audio system can be a daunting task though. Running speaker wire to all the rooms and purchasing speakers can take a lot of time and money. I don’t know about you, but just the thoughts of running speaker wire makes me tired. There has to be an easier way right? What about a wireless system that is relatively inexpensive and takes just minutes to setup? The Eos Wireless Home Audio iPod Speaker System is one such solution.

Soundcast OutCast Wireless Outdoor Speaker Review

By Ryan Preston / August 4, 2008 / Uncategorized / Audio, Video, TV, Speakers / 2 Comments

One of the best things about summer is enjoying the great outdoors. For my family, that means evenings on our back patio, grilling out and taking pleasure in what nature has to offer. Unfortunately, unless we hook up a portable device, we often have to do this without one of our other great pleasures, music.

LiveScribe Pulse Smartpen Review

By Julie Strietelmeier / August 1, 2008 / Reviews / Gear, Pens, smart pen / 53 Comments

Kids sure are lucky these days because they have laptops and PDAs to help them with their school work. Back in my day,
all we had were pencils, that we had to sharpen with a pocket knife as we walked to school barefoot in the
snow. Ok, maybe it wasn’t that bad… But really, all we had were pens and pencils to take notes
during class. I used to hate taking
notes in school because my mind had a really bad habit of wandering. Fast forward to present day
and not much has changed. My mind still wanders and I still don’t like taking notes. But, now I have a new tool that can help fill in the
gaps during those times when I’m supposed to be paying attention during meetings. It’s an electronic pen called the Pulse Smartpen from Livescribe.

Grindmaster OPOD Single Serve Hot Beverage Dispenser Review

By Paul Grunwald / July 30, 2008 / Uncategorized / Home and Kitchen / 5 Comments

I did not start drinking coffee until I was in the service and was 19 years old. After a 6-year stint, I’m able to drink anything resembling coffee and probably have drunk things I shouldn’t have. If it is burned at the bottom of steel pot and you add water and re-heat, is it still coffee?

Hobbyist Software Power Hero – Palm OS Utility Review

By Mark Adkins / July 29, 2008 / Uncategorized / Palm, Palm OS related, Software, Utility / 1 Comment

Hobbyist Software offers a great line of software for the Palm
Treo and
Centro user, and some of it can even be used for other Palms. When I asked for some codes so I could trial their products for a long enough time to figure them out, they were very helpful. They started me with Initiate Pro and Power Hero. I am still learning about Initiate Pro, so let’s look at Power Hero.

Beyza Thinvelope Macbook Air Leather Slipper Review

By Dave Rees / July 28, 2008 / Uncategorized / Bags, Laptop bag, Laptops and Gear / Leave a Comment

When I initially saw the Thinvelope Leather Slipper Case, it reminded me of several old college professors who carried their papers around in cases almost identical in style and material. Beyza has done a great job mixing Old World craftsmanship and modern function. The Thinvelope is an excellent means of protecting and transporting your Macbook Air with style.
