I’ve been wearing glasses since I was in third grade. The only thing that I don’t like about my glasses is that they slide down my nose. I have no idea how many times a day I push them back up, but I’m sure it’s a lot, especially when I’m outside in hot weather or […]

Velcro®-backed patches have become very popular in some circles, especially within military and related communities where they are often called “morale” patches. Additionally, clothing, backpacks and other soft goods designed for military, police or similar occupations include strips of webbing that can be used as modular attachment points for the customized addition of pouches and other accessories.
This week I was enjoying a vacation on Seagrove Beach, Florida, which means we posted more reviews than news because I decided NOT to work this time while I was supposed to be relaxing. That’s a first for me, which means there were more great hands-on reviews for you to read since I posted two
Each day I receive at least 100 emails pitching me ideas for products to write about on The Gadgeteer. I delete most of those emails seconds after opening them because there is nothing interesting about another iPhone bumper case, screen protector or a Kickstarter campaign for a selfie stick that includes a bottle opener. But

WiFi home security cameras are one of latest gadgets to explode in popularity in the last year or two. It seemed like this category really took off after Dropcam came on the scene. Before Dropcams and other cameras like them, home security cameras were not plug and play. Far from it. They required hard wiring

I spied this awesome Halloween (or festival) mask on the Make: website. Wintercroft sells all kinds of mask templates (the above is the Dragon Mask V1) and instructions that are immediately available as PDF files after your purchase. All you have to do is print the templates out on paper, adhere them to the cardstock, cut

I have many pairs of headphones lying around the house. They’re coming out of my ears. Really. I still dislike the in-ear style (IEMs, ear buds), so I’m restricted to headphones that rest outside my ears. Today, I look at the Noontec ZORO II wireless headphones that not only cut the cord, but fold up

Since becoming part of the Gadgeteer team, I’ve had the opportunity to review a few wireless security cameras. As I’ve said before, I love the peace of mind they bring my family. I’ve attempted to use these cameras to create a patchwork home security system – with varying levels of success. What I truly need

MPOW has recently come out with a new Bluetooth 4.0 speaker which I really like. I have quite a few portable speakers in my collection but this one is now my favorite. Like all of my speakers you can plug it into your phone or iPod via the headphone jack. Nothing new or special there.

I am a bagoholic. I have two closets filled with bags from waist packs, day bags, shoulder bags to camera backpacks. Some of them date back a ways…I still have and use both a Roadwired Pod and Podzilla! I am always on the lookout for that next bag that will hold what I need when

Boeing is considering using metallic microlattice in future airplanes and yes, it is balanced on top of the head of a dandelion. It’s “approximately one hundred times lighter than Styrofoam” (from HRL Laboratories) – that’s how lightweight this new material is. It is described as an “ordered network of interconnected hollow struts made from a

I avoid checking bags in while flying whenever possible. Additional bag fees? No, it’s the hassle of waiting for checked bags at the carousel, the risk of lost luggage, and the tendency to overpack. I tend to travel with lots of loose items (charging cables, wall warts, adapters), so what if I could find a

Backpacks and messenger bags have become our preferred everyday carry bags. But what happens when you need something a little more business-like? Waterfield’s newly updated Cozmo 2.0 laptop bag seems to be the type of bag that would be useful in a business setting. While reviewing the bag, I found that it is even more

In the past year or so, quadcopters and drones have exploded onto the scene. What used to be a novelty in Brookstone or the Sharper Image, is now everywhere. I’m not exaggerating when I say I recently saw a shelf full of drones in a local 7-11. I’ve always wanted to get one, but could

I freely admit that the new Logi (formally Logitech) Blok keyboard case is the first iPad keyboard I’ve ever used. iPad keyboard cases just never held any interest to me—until the Blok came out. For some reason, the Blok intrigued me where no other keyboard cases had before. So, this review is from a newbie

Before I pursued a degree in entomology, I first considered marine biology. I’ve always marveled at the unusual life forms out there, many of which exist in the ocean and many are in places most of us don’t have access to. The company OpenROV has sold personal underwater robot kits for those like me who
