I’ve been fascinated by the numerous pico projectors that have been released in the past few years. The idea of being able to connect your phone or media device to something just about the same size and throw the picture, slide or video playing on the former up on a wall by using the latter [...]

Six New iFrogz iPhone 4 Cases
Typically when I post a news item about a new piece of software, or gear, or what-have-you, I don’t have anything to say beyond describing it to y’all, and giving you pointers. Unlike some folks, I’m not a big gear person, or a multiple-case person, or a clothes horse, or anything like that; I have [...]
Get iSkysoft Giveaway App for Fun Halloween Digital Life
Ah, Halloween! When people let out their freak flags fly proudly, dressing in costumes that make statements that, let’s face it, they probably wouldn’t be caught dead making the rest of the time. It’s kind of amazed me how Halloween has grown as I’ve gotten older. Now it is infiltrating parts of Europe (pronounced “alowine” [...]
Random Cool Halloween Video: Michael Jackson’s Thriller
Is there any music video that screams Halloween more than Michael Jackson’s groundbreaking Thriller? Do you remember how huge of an event it was on TV when it launched?

Definitely seems to follow in the goofy footsteps [...]
Home Gear Review: Larry G Checks Out The BottleMate
I drink a lot of microbrews. One of the challenges anyone who does often faces is the dilemma, “is it a twist-off or not”. The last thing you want to do on a hot summer afternoon is struggle to get the top off your ice cold beer. With the BottleMate there isn’t even a need [...]

iPhone/iPad Accessory Review: Mophie Juice Pack™ Powerstation
I’m sitting in my parked 2003 Subaru Outback recording this review of the mophie juicepack powerstation using Dragon Dictation. Normally I don’t write reviews while sitting in a parked car but I’m making an exception this time since my car decided not to cooperate this afternoon. I was driving home from an appointment when the [...]
Review: Purse to Go Bag Organizer
It’s no secret that a few of us here at Gear Diary are bag fanatics. Judie’s collection puts mine to shame any day, as does Clinton’s. But for the past few years, I have been a purse fanatic. It’s been my other spendy item other than technology. I haven’t gone crazy; usually I only buy [...]
