Back in March I reviewed the Kenu Airframe portable car mount. To say I love the device is probably an understatement. It goes with me everywhere. Everyone I have shown it to has envied it. And I have to keep a close watch on my wife for fear that she will steal it. So when […]

If your cat doesn’t do much more than lay around the house and sleep or eat, she could probably benefit from some exercise. My cat, Rio, used to get her exercise at 3:00am, dashing around the house like a crazy thing, determined to wake up everybody in the apartment building I lived in at the

I’ve seen one of those funny, captioned pictures you so often see on the internet with one of those big, multi-buttoned TV remotes that some one had fixed for their grandmother to use.

A couple of years ago (2012) I reviewed the Wicked Lasers Torch (see Other Articles to Read at end of post), touted at the time as “the most powerful handheld flashlight in the World”, and at a whopping 4100 lumens, it was wickedly bright, extremely hot, but sadly very utilitarian looking. The designers at Wicked Lasers have recently introduced

There are many types of stands for tablets. Some are a single angle, built for either reading and movies, or for typing and heads-down work. Others (such as those from Apple and the kickstands on Microsoft’s Surface) mandate that you cannot change the orientation – it’s horizontal (usually), and that cannot be changed. But
