I hate screen protectors but find them a necessary evil. After all, my iPhone goes everywhere with me and the glass screen, while tough Gorilla Glass, is still glass.

Griffin Survivor for iPad 2 and iPad 3 Extreme-Duty Case Review
I don’t take my iPad into harsh conditions. I mean, the most volatile situation my tablet finds itself in is my monthly board meeting. (I kid… I kid…) In all seriousness though, while I do keep my iPad protected in a case it is rare for it to be in any situation where it might [...]
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 [...]

Belkin YourType Folio and Keyboard for The New iPad and iPad 2 Review
I have a love/hate relationship with iPad keyboard cases. On the one hand I love the idea. I take my iPad with me pretty much everywhere and I use it constantly. I use it so much in fact, that my iPad NEVER makes it through the day on a single charge. It is, more than [...]
Midnight Mysteries: Haunted Houdini Game Review
History and magic buffs may recall the unfortunate incidents surrounding the death of famed early 20th-century magician, Harry Houdini. Midnight Mysteries: Haunted Houdini by Mumbo Jumbo adds a twist Houdini’s death, that it was not mere chance and acute appendicitis that did him in, but a conspiracy. You know, the butler did it. No, no, [...]
2013 Scion FR-S Is One Friggin’ Really Sweet Ride
No sooner than we took our seats in the movie theater-turned presentation room at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas that we knew this was unmistakably a Scion program. Thumping music, flashy images and video – and everything product-centric. Scion is the new, trendy little division of Toyota and we were here to experience [...]
The Legend of Grimrock Review; Classic PC Gaming Made Thoroughly Modern
Flash back in time 20 years to the sorts of games that RPG fans were playing and you will find that stories were thin but balanced combat gameplay was better implemented than most games now. However, the lack of internal maps coupled with dealing with the low-resolution graphics, MIDI sound, incompatibility with modern systems and [...]

It is often fun to follow Tweets or friends’ status updates during your favorite game, especially during the playoffs. What if there was [...]
Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone Deliver a Collection of Excellent Duets
Mary Halvorson & Jessica Pavone – ‘Departure of Reason’ Mary Halvorson & Jessica Pavone – ‘Departure of Reason’ I reviewed Mary Halvorson’s ‘Saturn Sings’ last year, concluding : Halvorson has been called the most talented and creative guitarist in a generation, and I don’t attribute that to either hyperbole or to her gender – she [...]

The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad 2 and the New iPad Review
I had a first generation iPad. It was an amazingly useful and functional device for me I loved the unit, but it wasn’t the thinnest. I rarely tried to carry my iPad with a keyboard, because once I put the iPad and a keyboard into my backpack I might was well have been carrying a [...]
OXO GoodGrips Handheld Mandoline is a Finger Saver, Plus a Giveaway
I love working in the kitchen, but I have to admit that I’m a total chicken when it comes to using a mandoline. Knives don’t frighten me, since I keep them really sharp with my whetstone and have pretty decent knife skills. But when I finally broke down and bought an expensive mandoline, I had [...]
