We want to thank all of you who commented on the review for Case Mate Tough Cases featuring Realtree designs. I have continued to use the deer design and love it. We hope to continue to broaden the amount of outdoors gear to make sure everyone has the best gadgets when they hunt, fish, hike and camp. Suggestions and requests are always welcome! The two winners were chosen at random, one by my 7 year old and the other by my 4 year old.
And the winners are…… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

It’s a shameful thing to admit, but I’m not really much into football. It’s hard enough to admit this as an American in good standing; as a Texan (well, an Austinite) it subjects me to ridicule, with a minor risk of tar and feathers. Such is the life I lead.
But, as my beloved Sami tells me all the time, I’m not normal.
But you are, right? Or normaler, anyway! So for you, this is hella good news: Motorola is sponsoring a contest, the winner of which gets to go to Super Bowl Week (they might as well make it a national holiday). … Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

The other day we reviewed eskuché’s 33i and Control-i headphones. At under $70 for each pair they are certainly worth considering if you’ve been looking for a pair of on-ear headphones that include an in-line mic. You can read the full review here.
We were giving both away and they are going to…… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Back in October we told you about the SCOTTEVEST Trip of Your Life $10,000 Contest. I even made a video for it.

Sadly, in the “view-count” department, it has been destroyed by other entries and it looks like I’ll be doing all my traveling on my dime. That doesn’t mean YOU shouldn’t enter though. The contest is live, people are entering (and did I mention kicking my butt!?!?!) and there is still time to enter before a winner in announced. Here’s where you can learn more about how to enter.
Where do YOU want to go? We want to know and SCOTTEVEST does too!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory. All opinions are 100% mine.
Is your office old and worn? Are you embarrassed to have potential clients meet there? Are you afraid that, were your mother to come visit, she would say “Clean your office” with the same inflection she used for “Go clean your room!” when you were just seven years old? Is your car a better work-space than your work-space?
If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, then you need an “Office Slobs Anonymous” intervention. Before that however, why not make some money? Yes, thanks to the Pimp My Cube Contest you can benefit from being the office slob.

The BenQ Joybee GP2 Mini Projector Judie has been making videos for (the same videos that you can win money for voting for) is pretty amazing. I had a chance to play with it a bit last week and am amazed. At first I really didn’t think it did such a great job of projecting video on the wall, but then I realized… you need to actually focus the thing. Once I did… wow!
My in-laws have one of those expensive ceiling projection television units in their media room, and this small, portable thing actually stands up to it quite nicely. Add in the fact that you can dock an iPhone, or connect… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Monster Turbine Pearl In-Ear Speakers this summer and still use them as my primary headphone solution for high quality audio. (You can read the review here.) Let me tell you, these things are the best earphones I have ever used– bar none. They are so good, and let me feel like I am so fully immersed in the music experience, that they often keep me listening to music far longer than I had planned. Just in time for the holiday season, Monster is running a contest that will give all of you a chance to win some of their wonderful products. With that let us tell you about Monster’s 8X iPhone 4S Sweepstakes we are co-sponsoring with the company this week.
