Triple Aught Design aka TAD recently offered to send me one of their Women’s Artemis Hoodies for review. I happily accepted because I’ve been wanting to try something made from Merino wool for quite a while. This particular jacket takes its name from the fearless female hunter of Greek mythology who used her bow and

I am forever on the search for a perfect multi-pen stylus combination, and the Stylex 3-in-1 Writing Tool, a current Kickstarter project by Dexterous, may be the one of my dreams. The Stylex 3-in-1 writing tool combines a stylus, a ball point pen, and a 0.5mm mechanical pencil into a single pen, allowing the user to

Avallone says their sophisticated City Messenger bags are for men, but I don’t see why women wouldn’t like them, too. These bags are certainly not the distressed leather bags often marketed for men. They are made of Italian Nappa leather with cow suede accents and silver-colored metal hardware. The bag measures 13.5″ X 10″ X

From the days of high school, through community college, til the end of college and when I got my first real job after graduating college, I was an avid fan of the backpack. Not too much these days though… At my current job, a backpack just doesn’t feel professional enough for me. Who am I kidding?

Normally when I find a new product from Archos, it’s an Android tablet. This time, they have a Bluetooth keyboard for us. The Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad works with the iPad 2 and the 3rd- and 4th-gen iPads. At 9.48″ x 7.32″ x 0.2″, it’s not much thicker than a Smart Cover; it weighs

Finding the perfect case that protects your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook Air and perfectly captures your personality is a daunting task. Then, it’s likely your perfect case won’t fit the next generation when you upgrade, and you have a perfectly good, often expensive, case going “to waste.” That’s not going to be the case with

Some of my favorite childhood toys include a Spirograph set and a kaleidoscope. I’m still fascinated by geometric art and actually ordered a couple modern Spirograph type sets for myself this past Christmas. I always thought it would be really cool to make my own kaleidoscope, so when I was asked by the UK based

When I first saw the Octa stand last year, I thought it was cute and whimsical. Many gadget accessories are very serious and seem to be designed to fit into the most sedate business environment. When designers do decide to mix it up, it’s often just to offer a brighter color in the same overall

I love riding bikes. I rode bikes as a kid, like everyone else, but I started again as an adult when I hit my mid-50s and health problems started rising. I quickly became addicted. Due to global climate change and the push-back against car-dominated design, there’s a new interest in bicycling all over the country

This past December, I reviewed Element Case’s newly (at the time) released iPhone 5 aluminum bumper case, the Sector 5. While I found the Sector 5 Transformer-like and very tech-stylish, it was overall a bit extreme with too many rough edges for my taste. So, when Julie asked if I would like to review the

We live in a world now where the advancements in tablet devices allows them to replace the home PC. The problem with this new trend is that home wireless networking has not kept up with the influx of these tablet devices, and most routers still require a wired PC for setup and administration.

I’ve reviewed a lot of Bluetooth keyboard cases for iPads, and most of them have the keyboard permanently attached inside the case. You’re stuck with carrying the extra weight of the keyboard, even when you know you won’t be using it, and you’re also stuck with always using the keyboard and the iPad within inches
Julie recently told us about the Booqpad iPad mini case that also holds a notebook and pen. Well, Levenger has a phone wallet that also incorporates paper and pen into the design. Although it has “briefcase” in the name, the International Phone Pocket Briefcase is a folio-style wallet. There’s a mesh pouch to hold an
Bucking traditions in the flashlight form factor, Flatlight, a Kickstarter project by Tater Tot Designs, brings in the thin. The Flatlight is 3.57″ X 1.99″ X 0.11″, giving it a credit card-like profile. An array of LED transmits light to a fiber optic backlight that evenly distributes the light through the lens.
