buckleseam messengerbag sierra15 update 01

I recently reviewed the Buckle & Seam Sierra 15″ Messenger bag, but they have since updated the product (they made it with thicker leather).  Is it a vast improvement over its predecessor? My opinion is that it is somewhat better, but far from what I was hoping for. What is it? The Buckle & Seam

Many Apple Watch charging stands I’ve seen are about this size, and they only charge the Watch itself.  This Simpeak 4-Port USB Charger Station not only charges the Watch in Nightstand mode, but the base has three extra USB ports for charging phones and tablets.  You’ll need only the included power supply to charge up

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of smartwatches are designed by and for men. I’m not saying all smartwatches have a bulky masculine style, but most do and it’s time to find a smartwatch that is smaller and more feminine. The Path Hybrid Smartwatch from Misfit looks like it fits that criteria. Misfit is well

loop high fidelity earplugs 01

Over the last several years, I’ve noticed a problem developing in my left ear when exposed to continuous loud sounds (it sounds like there is cotton constantly moving around in my ear).

Since not all your wallet cards are RFID-sensitive, it seems that most RFID-blocking wallets are small – just big enough to accommodate the sensitive cards.  That’s great for protection, but what do you do with the rest of the things that you normally carry in a wallet?  The Thinnest RFID Checkbook Wallet from the Sharper

Do you remember ten years ago when digital photo frames were so popular?

We recently bought a new media cabinet for our living room.  I was tired of the old, dark veneered, 14″-off-the-ground DIY unit we had for years.  I wanted something of furniture quality, and I wanted a style that would complement the Mid-Century modern decorating style of my house.  I looked no further than BDI, because
