This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine. Spring came early in New Jersey, and it has been an absolute pleasure. In fact, from a weather perspective, today was as close to a perfect day as you will ever find. That means it is time [...]

Over the weekend we blew past having the first 200 subscribers to our upcoming newsletter, GD Weekly. That means it is time to give away a brand new Acme Made Clyde St. Messenger bag (read the review here) and start another “Pre-GD Weekly Giveaway”. The bag is on the way to Laurie Hogan as soon [...]
Wet Phone Rescue!
These days, if you get insurance for your phone the insurance company will replace it for pretty much anything you happen to do to the device. . . anything unless you get it wet. Yes, damage your phone with a little water, and bang-o! no free phone fixing for you. In my house that’s actually [...]
It’s a Great Weekend and We Are Celebrating With Some Awesome Giveaways
So much is happening here at Gear Diary both on the site and behind the scenes. On the site we’ve got a brand new look that includes a slightly updated Gear Diary logo. In addition, we are inching closer and closer to launching our newsletter, GD Weekly. And in that first edition we will be [...]
Protect Your Greens from Ravenous Deer with Sweeney’s Organic Deer Repellent
Here in my neighborhood in Austin, we have a lot of deer. A lot of deer. You see whole families wandering across the road, going from one yard to another, ravaging the various yummy-to-deer plants as they go. Being the friendly south, we don’t have a whole lot of fences here, and even in those [...]
Stem Innovations iZON Remote Room Monitor Giveaway
We installed a Vivint home automation system at home and up at our lake cabin two years ago. It is a great way for us to monitor what is happening there when we don’t have a chance to get up to the mountains for an extended period. Perhaps the best aspect of the system is the ability [...]
Why Do We Lose Power So Easily?
Ever lose power when the sky is blue? That happened to me this week at both my place of work and my home. While at home the answer was not clear, at work it was totally apparent. There is a pole in front of our building that has not once, not twice but at least [...]
AmazingRibs Meat Temperature Guide Might Just Save Your Bacon and Another Contest
There are lots of ways to determine the doneness of meat that you are grilling or roasting in your oven. (Notice I didn’t say “BBQing.” Where I come from BBQ is a noun, not a verb.) In addition to meat thermometers and a nifty little iPhone app that I’ve reviewed lately, sometimes it’s best to [...]
Keep Your Beer Cool and Your Tunes Loud with the Marshall Fridge
This Marshall Fridge is pretty amazing. It looks like an Marshall amp, but it hides something tastier than great tunes. Yeah, it holds a few six packs or anything else that you might need to keep cold — although beer is much more fun than milk. As the description on Werd notes, You’re never going [...]
Native Union’s Curve Twin Handset Perfect for Multi-Device Professionals
We’ve previously reviewed a number of products from Native Union, and we have been impressed by the design and utility of them. That’s why Judie and I made sure to set aside time to visit the Native Union booth at CES. We are glad we did, because a couple of the items that were in [...]

The Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Was Worth the Upgrade
It’s no secret that if you live or work in an area that isn’t in the middle of a strong cellular coverage zone, your mobile phone signal is going to suffer. That’s one of the things I knew I would have to deal with when I moved to the ranch, but I wasn’t about to let [...]

Update: This contest is now closed, and the winner has been announced on Facebook. Thank you for playing, and keep an eye out for more Gear Diary giveaways! =) Whether it is via AirPlay or through my Sonos system, I’m into wireless music these days. I love not having to physically dock a device in [...]
The 4moms Origami Stroller Makes All Others Look Lame
If you were a new parent even just five years ago, you’ll have noticed that the gadgets and gear aimed at this market have gotten significantly better and much more savvy to a new parent’s needs. Whether you’re using FaceTime on your iPad to communicate with your kids when at work or teaching them to read using [...]
