On a recent vacation, we were not able to get the usual tiny car we like to rent, and instead were “upgraded” to a crossover SUV. While initially irritated, the Gadgeteer side of my nature soon kicked in and I started enjoying the bits of tech that our cars don’t have. A backup camera was

REVIEW – Laptop backpacks are all the rage these days. With the rise of a younger, more tech-focused workforce, carrying a backpack, at least in tech circles, is no longer the mark of a lower echelon drone. At my publicly-traded technology company, directors and VPs carry backpacks into the office on a daily basis. My

REVIEW – Bluetooth sport-centric headphones have been around for years. Typically these early “wireless” earbuds were pretty big, relatively bulky, ill-fitting, and needed a cord connecting the two to power and communicate with each other. In the past few years, totally wireless earbuds have become the norm rather than the exception. They have become smaller,

NEWS – When my daughter was born 23 years ago, one of the first things we bought for her room was a Diaper Genie. Unlike normal garbage cans, the Diaper Genie had canisters of plastic bag material inside that would twist around each diaper as you disposed of it to reduce the smell of the
REVIEW – This is my second scented diffuser review in the past few weeks, and my house smells fabulous!

REVIEW – I just returned from a week’s vacation on Sanibel Island Florida and I immediately noticed that all but one of the restaurants that we visited provided paper straws instead of plastic straws.
