baronfig confidant 00

I’ve tried several different notebooks over the years, and my favorite had always been the venerable Moleskine. But I’m also a fan of the crowdfunding site […]

iogear usbc ondesk2

Recently Julie and I both purchased 12″ MacBooks and while extremely light and portable, the sleek and slim laptop is lacking in ports to say the least.

SOG introduces a pen-shaped multi-tool with pliers

Sog Baton Q4

The word “multi-tool” has become a household term since Leatherman marketed the original PST, Pocket Survival Tool, in 1983.
