I have a new favorite case for my iPad 2 and, to be honest, it comes as a surprise to me. The case isn’t from a brand name. It doesn’t have a striking style. Isn’t one of the many luxury cases we have the good fortune of reviewing here on the site. No, this iPad [...]

Riffs and Pixels: Griffin’s GuitarConnect Cable for iOS devices
I procrastinate. Yes, I’m one of THOSE guys. I might put off my research paper a few days to, you know, let it “mature.” I also might put off writing a killer guitar tune because I’m not in the creative mood. Sure, THAT’S the reason. Actually, it’s because I’m not as proficient with musical notation [...]
Review: Freestyle Buzz 2.0 Wristwatch
While preparing for our family vacation, which included a morning at surf school, I realized I no longer had a rugged watch. I’d owned several over the years, including an Ironman that lasted from Basic Training through several overseas trips before finally succumbing to a broken strap and went missing somewhere in the desert. Surfing…salt water…surf [...]
Gear Games Deals: Weekend Round-Up of PC Game Deals
The weekend is finally here and once again the digital download sites are featuring some awesome deals! I am highlighting the JoWood games sale at Good Old Games – 75% off … though I think JoWood is beyond saving at this point. This week I am continuing to choose no more than 50 deals from [...]

‘Hats’ Off to the Newly Married Royal Couple!
The media is super-saturated with coverage of the royal wedding, so I have no intent of spending any time on it. But as my wife and I drank coffee and watched the wedding – we normally watch the morning news, but the wedding was on pretty much every channel – we noted all of the [...]
Review: Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera
Cisco may have shuttered the doors on the Flip camera, but there are many other cameras out there that are still available that are as good or better than the venerable Flip. Today I am going to take a look at the Kodak Zi8, which I recently purchased with a gift card I received from [...]
Gear Games Update: Playstation Network / Qriocity Status Update
Image courtesy of Penny Arcade A few days ago I updated the status of the Sony PSN / Qriocity outage. Today we have some more data … and not much of it is good. Let’s get right to what we know: Hackers claim to have the credit card info for millions of PSN users. Sony [...]
Review: Lowepro Compuday Photo 250 Backpack
I love gear bags, especially backpacks. The great thing about a gear bag is that I can carry more of my stuff. I have a backpack for my DSLR as well as a backpack for my MacBook and all of the items that go with it. Just the other day we took a short family [...]
Android Phone Accessory Review: PowerSkin Battery Case for MyTouch 4G
Battery life continues to be the bane of smartphones. The technology hasn’t significantly improved in quite some time, which is problematic because the power and functionality of the small devices has increased exponentially. This results in some state-of-the-art devices with battery life that can only be described as horrific. There are a few options for [...]
Hulu+ Arrives on XBOX Live Today! Hooray or Meh?
Hulu+ is available on your Mac or PC, your set top box such as the Roku we have (but alas not Apple TV), your iPhone or iPad, and your Playstation 3. With the computer devices you can use the ‘standard version’ for free but gain much greater access to programming with the $7.99 monthly fee. [...]
GD Quickie: HBO NO! A Rant in Pictures
HBO GO for iOS is live and available for free in the App Store. It is awesome. You can watch HBO movies on the go. You can watch some of HBO’s amazing series. (I am totally into Game of Thrones!) You can watch HBO comedy, you know, the ones where the funny people don’t need [...]
Gear Games News: Avadon the Black Fortress for PC Coming Monday May 2nd!
If you read my review for the Mac version of Avadon: The Black Fortress and thought ‘hey, I have a PC, when will THAT version be available?’, now you have an answer! As a reminder, here is what I said: One thing I didn’t mention is the length of Avadon. I would estimate it at [...]
Review: ToddyGear Smart Cloths
Did you know the average American family now owns 24 electronic devices? Yup, 24 devices and guess how many of them are covered with smudges, grime and… worse? Pretty much all of them. And when germs are mixed in with the smudges watch out since it has been shown that germs can live on touch [...]
