Of all the tools, toys, gadgets, etc., my cell phone is the one device I couldn’t survive without. I’d sooner get rid of my car than my cell phone. That may seem extreme, but my phone functions as my calendar, camera, music player, photo album, and GPS; not to mention, I occasionally use it to… Read More

I have been a huge fan of the mini tablet form factor. I have used one since the original Nexus 7 came out in 2012 and it is one of the small handful of gadgets I literally use every day. It is light enough to hold in bed at night no matter which way you… Read More

In 2004, Newsweek printed that, “According to a study conducted by a Boston marketing firm, the average American burns 55 minutes a day–roughly 12 weeks a year–looking for things they know they own but can’t find.” It makes sense that in the last 12 years this number may have changed, given that the average American is more likely… Read More

There is no such thing as a perfect smartphone. I know because I’ve been trying to find one for longer than I care to remember. There’s also no such thing as being 100% happy with the phone you have. At least this is true for me. There’s always some feature that I wish my current phone… Read More

I’m not a frequent traveler, but we do go on at least two vacations a year which usually involve air travel. Preparing for these trips involves decisions about the gear to take with me and I always have the same dilemma each time: weight and bulk vs. usability. I know vacations are for relaxing, but I’d… Read More
After almost two months of spontaneously combusting drama, it’s official. Samsung has finally stuck a fork in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and it’s been declared dead. My guess is that we’ll never see another new Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone model because that name just has too much negativity attached to it. So, what do… Read More
As details about Google’s new Pixel flagship phones trickled out over the past few days and weeks, I’ve been consistently saying to friends that I would not (probably) be buying one. I’d already gone through the whole spontaneous purchase experience with the iPhone 7 only to return it a week later due to not loving… Read More

Last week I ordered a cute little Android pin from Dead Zebra. When it arrived, there were a couple of Android stickers also included in the package. I was so excited that I took a picture and shared it with Dave Rees (my Gadgeteer BFF). What he said next made me both laugh and think… Read More
