My fascination with pens started as a child when I discovered a box in our shed that held some very old mechanical pens and pencils from my Dad’s parents time. I remember “borrowing” those pens to play with them. I wish I still had those writing instruments today, but unfortunately for me and my Dad,

The Coocheer LED Artcraft Tracing Light Pad-ultra Thin, Dimmable LED, Professional Drawing Light Box is modern, and better, version of that old light box. Instead of a 60-watt
Drones like quadcopters are incredibly popular. They can be really fun to fly but unfortunately, people can misuse them and that’s bad news especially when flying them in sensitive airspace. Since hunting them down with guns blazing is frowned upon, the government and law enforcement now have available to them the Battelle DroneDefender. This defensive

Last month we turned back the hands of time 15 years to revisit my review of the Sony CLIE (PEG-S300) PDA. Do you remember the year 2000 and all the hoopla of a new century with the scare of potential Y2K computer issues. Fun times! Fifteen years ago cell phones were too large to fit

Earlier this year I reviewed the Polar M400 sport watch and was pleased with how feature packed and fitness oriented it was. I have used it on and off throughout 2015.

I used to carry a backpack when traveling. Everywhere.

Blue, a 20-year innovator in audio microphones, made quite a name last year—and not with mics. Their Mo-Fi headphone featured an insanely designed hinge that made it possible to wear them for hours without undue pressure at the temples. Oh, and they were self-powered with a built-in amp. Not bad for a first effort! Blue

My name is Andy, and I’m a Flashaholic. I have a lumen problem. Ever since my first “cool” flashlight 30 years ago, the MagLite, I’ve been chasing the next go-to handheld torch.

It’s a little thing, but I find it frustrating sometimes to fumble around for the proper orientation to insert my phone’s charging cable into the micro-USB port – especially in the dark.

I’ve always liked to draw and doodle, but when I was a kid, I did it all the time. I used to trace comic book characters to help me figure out how to draw them on my own. I would have loved a Boogie Board Play n’ Trace back eWriter back then. You may already be

When it comes to journaling, I prefer using paper and a pen. Writing and drawing with pen on paper has always been more enjoyable for me than using my smartphone or computer. In the past, I have had a bad habit of starting to journal only to give up after a few days or weeks.
