Crimson Screen Protectors for MacBook Air
For me, one of the tricky things when buying a new device these days is, how do I protect it? Honestly, I love the size and feel of my iPhone when it’s “naked”, but there are a couple of problems with it: it’s durn slippery and prone to be dropped, and it’s unprotected. But I [...]
GD Quickie: Protect Your Private Parts with LapGuard
Ah life… so many things to worry about these days. Nuclear proliferation, the economy, global warming (errr climate change), earthquakes, how Duke Basketball will do this year and now this… laptop sterility. Yes, in addition to worrying about whether or not your cellphone is giving you a brain tumor you now need to worry about [...]
Twelve South PlugBug QuickLook
We brought word of Twelve South‘s new PlugBug Mac/iPad accessory the other day. Within seconds of learning about the new product Judie and I had both ordered one. It is a great traveling companion if you have a Mac and an iPad or iPhone, so it seemed like a no-brainer. It is! Mine just came [...]
Twelve South PlugBug iPad/iPhone Travel Charger- a Simple but Brilliant Apple Accessory
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ideas. That’s how Twelve South’s new PlugBug strikes me. The accessory lets you use one plug to charge both your Mac and your iPad. “Simple”, “fast” and “clean” are the words that came to mind when I got the announcement a few minutes ago. Deciding to order one [...]
Twelve South’s BassJump 2 Pumps Up the Bass!
The folks at Twelve South always have a way of surprising us. They make awesome leather cases like the BookBook for iPad or iPhone but they also make an amazing iPad stand called the Compass. (I use mine all the time.) Now they have something even more outside the box- the BassJump 2 speaker. The [...]

The Beyzacases MacBook Air 11″ Zero Series Case Review
Please allow me to gush for a moment, because it is not something I’m usually inclined to do … I truly enjoy using my little 11″ MacBook Air; it is the computer that I grab when I don’t want to be tied to a desk. I use it on the couch, I use it outside [...]
Acme Made Announces New Clyde St. Messenger Bag
Judie and I are both huge fans of Acme Made’s products. We’ve reviewed their Clutch, their Skinny Sleeve, their Slick Case for iPad and their awesome Courier laptop bag. We got word today of a brand new style, the Cylde St. Messenger, and it looks great too. Here’s Acme Made’s description of it: The Clyde [...]
Macbook Air Gear Review: ACME Made Skinny Sleeve Stretch Shell
If you have one of the sexy 2010 or 2011 MacBook Airs, then it makes absolutely no sense to cover that svelte beauty in a big fat laptop case. ACME Made has got perhaps one of the thinnest and most minimalistic sleeves that I have seen, so whether you prefer to carry your Air in [...]
Review: AViiQ Portable Charging Station
The promise of converged devices like the iPhone was, among other things, the ability to travel light. Instead of needing to bring a phone, an address book, a music player, a note pad, a camera, etc., smartphones promised to replace all of that and be the only thing you needed to bring with you. Funny [...]
New PDAir MacBook Air Case Releases
So, you have a nice, new MacBook Air 13″. Mmm, shiny! Nice! And wouldn’t it be a bummer if it got scratches all over that nice, shiny casing? Well, heck yes it would! So maybe what you want to do is pick yourself up a case for it, yeah/ And as I’ve told you a [...]
Now Shipping: AViiQ Portable Charging Station
I’ve been working hard to streamline the tech I use. I now I only use a laptop (although I have to admit to using a docking system at home) and am trying hard to keep the cords and peripherals I use in check. With so many gadgets available it is just TOO EASY for things [...]
