All winners have 24 hours to email their name, the prize they won and their address to contests@geardiary.com.
We’ve reviewed the Powis iCase for both the first and the second generation iPad. It is an impressive case that offers a great deal of functionality even as it protects your iPad in style.

This deal is good through Monday, November 28. You can see what is available and in what colors here on the Powis website.

I heard on the radio this morning that Old Navy will be open on Thanksgiving. Target and Walmart are also planning special hours on Thursday.

The sacred days, the two where no matter how exhausting or stressful the year had been, the two that were a… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

One of the very tastiest Thanksgiving dinners I ever had was when “the guys” got together and decided to throw ourselves a big holiday feed. One of us was an actual restaurant cook, and he took charge of the turkey which, believe it or not, he cooked out on the grill. I don’t know how he did it, and honestly I didn’t want to know at the time; all I knew is that it turned out great.
Now, I’m not much of a grilling kind of guy, but let’s face it: I’m very much in the minority. So if you’re a member of the majority who does grill, you want to read on about this giveaway… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
