The Apple Watch Sport doesn’t come with a charging case or dock, just a charging cable. You’ll either have to charge your Watch as it lays on a table, putting it at risk of not being seen when you drop something else on the table, or you’ll have to purchase a third-party charging stand of

Standing desks have been around for years, but they are making a comeback, due to some recent studies. The studies revolved around the dangers of sitting for prolonged periods. I’ve recently seen news reports of schools that are replacing traditional desks with standing desks, and the energizing effect they’ve had on students. So, with my

I haven’t had any real complaints about the LandingZone until I saw the new Satechi Aluminum Mini Docking Station and started thinking that maybe there is a better way to organize my connections.

Writing relevant posts for The Gadgeteer could be a full time (and overtime) endeavor. Since this isn’t realistic for me, I focus on writing about things that can make a difference in people’s lives.

I’m not sure about where you live, but here in Southern Indiana, it’s that time of year when gnats, flies and mosquitoes start making a nuisance of their pesky selves.

I’ve reviewed my share of Braven speakers and have liked—or really liked—them all. I will soon review the MONSTER (caps mine) Braven BRV-XXL. That’s going to be fun. However, it’s 20 lbs!
