We love Kickstarter; Dan and I (along with others on the Gear Diary team) have backed many projects, and we are always on the look out for new ones. That is, of course, why we started Kickstart This! We love the way that Kickstarter helps inventors and artists get funding so that their products and [...]

Tracking Fresh Seafood with Track Your Fish on MyGulfWild.com
Red Snapper photo courtesy of myGulfWild.com I love Red Snapper, but if the truth be known, I haven’t always put a lot of thought into where the fish came from when I was about to eat it; I probably should have been a little more careful. But now I have a new appreciation for not [...]

A BBC Series Will Attempt to Dissuade People Who Believe In Alien Abductions
It’s interesting to hear the reasons given when people believe in things which seem contrary to what evidence otherwise proves, but there are plenty of people who do. Whether it be the country of Obama’s birth (and whether his US certificate is forged or not), that the earth will be destroyed in 2012 when the [...]
DecalGirl Nokia Lumia 900 Skin Kit Review
I go through stages where I don’t want a protective case on my gear, but when I got the Nokia Lumia 900, I knew right away that there was no way I’d put that phone in a case. Why not? Well, let’s start with the 900′s size. The cases that I saw at the AT&T [...]

Treat Mom to a Phosphor Bracelet Appear Watch, After the Fact
Mother’s Day is Sunday, but you shouldn’t limit your appreciation of Mom to only that one day! Phosphor has reserved a brand new black on black Appear Bracelet Watch for us to give away to one lucky Gear Diary reader, and it would be perfect to give mom as a “just because” gift after Mothers Day. Here’s a [...]
Organize Your Seeds with a Seed Organizer Binder Kit
I collect seeds when I find interesting plants in the reproductive stage where seeds can be gathered. Usually I am pretty good at remembering what I collected (and why), but recently I stumped myself. I had gathered some seeds and put them in a bag, and at some point (months later, I’m sure) mislabeled them “Mexican [...]
A Few Facts About Wireless Communication from Wilson Electronics
If you are under 25, then you might not be able to remember a time when everyone didn’t have a cellphone. But back in the day, when we used to have to walk uphill to school barefoot in the snow, not everyone could afford a one, much less its service. And even if money was [...]
Eton’s Solar-Powered Rukus Is Ready for the Pool
Warm weather is just about here, which means you’ll likely be spending more time outdoors — hopefully at the beach or pool! Assuming that you are careful about the obvious hazards such as water, sand, and too much sun, the next hurdle to outdoors musical enjoyment is finding a power source. Sun worshippers who have the [...]

HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE Revealed at CTIA
Were you under the impression that most Droids were made by Motorola? I’ll admit that for a while, when I heard Droid that was my first thought — probably because of the Motorola Droid commercials that used to constantly be on. But as you can see by the title (and by the past HTC Droid [...]
Latest HTC One Android Phone, the V, Coming This Summer
This morning HTC has announced the HTC One V, the latest of the HTC One series. We’ve covered the One X and the One S, and later this summer it looks like we’ll have another version to look forward to. If you like Android phones, these have proven to be some of the most exciting [...]
McSweeney’s Guide to Airline Passenger Profiling
You’ve heard about racial profiling, but how about pants profiling? Oh, you hadn’t heard of it? That’s okay, neither had I … until I found myself nodding and chuckling as I read the list of what to expect from other passengers on a flight — based on the type of pants they were wearing! Wool [...]
The Waterfield Indy iPad Bag Review
I’m not going to get into all the obvious movie allusions I could make about the Indy bag; suffice it to say the bag has rugged appeal with just enough refinement, and even when brand new it looks like something that might have been handed down to you from a favorite uncle. That’s actually a [...]
