The FAVI Bluetooth PC / Tablet Keyboard and Presenter with Laser Pointer (yes, that is the actual product name) is a handy little Bluetooth keyboard with integrated touchpad and laser pointer. I guess FAVI couldn’t work Touchpad into the name. It includes some dedicated Android keys, some dedicated presentation keys, a laser pointer, and just about […]

Everyday Carry Gear – Raul Sanchez

By Raul Sanchez / June 21, 2013 / Articles / EDC, Gear / 3 Comments

It’s time again for another inventory of our everyday carry items, or as I loosely refer to them “my survival gear”, so I wanted to share them with the outside world. And surprisingly, I found out that I use each and every item daily in one form or another. And some more than others. SHARE

EQUA CMYK Drop bottle review

By Julie Strietelmeier / June 20, 2013 / Reviews / Home and Kitchen, Outdoor Gear, Water Bottle / 4 Comments

Chances are high that you drink water more than any other beverage. Considering that water is the number one consumed beverage in the world, it was an easy guess. A tougher question to answer is how do you carry / store your drinking water? Do you use a thermos, plastic bottles, paper cups or something

Hide your valuables in plain sight

By Janet Cloninger / June 20, 2013 / News / Home and Kitchen, Security / Leave a Comment

This wall clock acts as a wall safe for your small valuables. It doesn’t have sophisticated locks or alarms, but it camouflages your items behind an actual working wall clock that could be found in any room. The Embassy JB4985 Wall Clock With Hidden Safe is 10″ in diameter and 3″ deep, so it won’t hide

Hiking, fishing, white water rafting, geocaching – these are all things I do not do on a regular basis. I do travel a bit though, and when I do I am always looking for neat, multi-purpose, rugged, functional products to take with me on my adventures.

The Brahmin “Theo-Melbourne” iPad Crossbody Bag is the most beautiful iPad accessory I’ve seen. The bag is made of crocodile-embossed leather, and it has two exterior pockets (one open and one flap-covered). Inside the front section are organizer pockets for your phone, cards, and pens, a zippered divider pocket, and room for more of your

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 to use as my personal/work phone. I did a lot of research before I made the financial commitment to purchase that phone. One of the first things I did after deciding to buy my new phone was to research ways to protect it. There are a lot of

Kinivo BTX350 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker review

By Julie Strietelmeier / June 19, 2013 / Reviews / Audio, Video, TV, Bluetooth, Speaker / 2 Comments

A few weeks ago Steve reviewed the Kinivo BTX450 Bluetooth Speaker and gave it a thumbs up. Today I’m going to tell you about another Bluetooth speaker from Kinivo. The BTX350 is physically smaller with a smaller price tag to match. But how does it sound? That’s the $39.95 question. Let’s take a look. SHARE ON

Every car can be the Millennium Falcon

By Janet Cloninger / June 18, 2013 / News / Car Gear, Star Wars / 5 Comments

Okay, this is a little hokey, but it’s perfect for the die-hard Star Wars fan. This Plasticolor 003700R01 Star Wars Accordion Sunshade keeps your car cooler, and it makes it look cooler, too! The accordion-fold sunshade is made of plastic, so the colors are more sun-fast than those cardboard sunshades. It’s $21.99 at Amazon. That’s a

A charging station that costs more than many electronic gadgets do

By Janet Cloninger / June 18, 2013 / News / Batteries and Chargers, Charging station, Gear / 7 Comments

Hmmm. I thought the purpose of a charging station was to make your desk or tabletop look neater. The MultiPot Clear Charging Hub with LED Lamp from nova68 corrals the cords, but it doesn’t exactly hide the tangled mess of cables. This 9.25″ long x 7.5″ tall x 9.25″ wide plastic pot is a lamp with

Are you shopping for a portable speaker for your favorite Bluetooth enabled device? Take a look at iHome. They have a large variety of speakers, so if you can’t find something there, you probably don’t know what you want.

Build an organized home office without permanently modifying the room

If you live in an apartment where you can’t make permanent changes or in a 60-year-old house with 4″-thick plaster-and-lathe walls that make finding the wall studs impossible like I do, you may have thought a wall organizer unit and desk like the one in the photo was impossible for you. Usually this type of

You’ve heard of zen gardening, but how about zen drawing?

By Julie Strietelmeier / June 17, 2013 / News / Art / Leave a Comment

The Buddha Board is a specially designed art board that you paint on with an included brush and water. That’s right, you don’t use paint or ink… just water. The zen aspect is that as the water evaporates your image will completely disappear. This is supposed to teach you to live in the now. Draw/write

Knork – A friend for your spork

By Julie Strietelmeier / June 16, 2013 / News / Cooking, EDC, Home and Kitchen / 3 Comments

You’ve no doubt heard of a spork which looks like a spoon with short fork-like tines on the edge. Campers and EDC fans like them because they combine two tools into one. Enter the Knork which looks like an ordinary stainless steel fork till you take a closer look. The outside tines have been beveled without being
