I never really thought about it much, but I do something that for some who practice my faith, might be alien. Much like my friend Dan, I use either apps or eBooks to do most of my Bible studies. Why It’s Better The app that I use the most when doing my Bible reading on [...]

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 [...]
Which Ham Radio Should I Buy?
In my continuing series on the subject of Ham Radio, I’ll now attempt to answer the great unknown question: Which ham radio should I buy?? Well What do you Want to Do? In a lot of ways, this is almost the same as asking which phone one should buy. The first question you should be asking isn’t which [...]
How to Get a Ham Radio License
After my last ham radio post, one of the first things I wanted to write about is how you can get your Amateur Radio License. Well, it’s not as difficult now as it used to be. When I last tested to get my General Class license, I had to be able to receive Morse Code at 13 [...]
Amateur Radio Is Both a Hobby and a Service
I am almost embarrassed that I had not mentioned this earlier, but there is a hobby that I have been involved with in some form or another for almost 20 years — Amateur Radio. Amateur Radio which is otherwise known as ‘ham radio’ has been around since before most of us were born. It has roots in [...]
Louis Vuitton’s 13″ Laptop Sleeve Makes Me Very Glad That I Have an 11″ Laptop
… because otherwise I might be tempted to start saving for one. I stumbled across this monogram beauty while checking out the Louis Vuitton site today. Measuring 13.78 wide x 10.24″ tall x 1.57″ thick, it would be just the thing to carry a 13″ MacBook Pro in style. Luckily, my 11″ MacBook Air would [...]

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 [...]
Just Mobile AluCube Mini Joins the Tangled Cable War
Just Mobile makes some great accessories that always combine style and function. They have just rolled out their latest offering and it brings simplicity of style to the fight against tangled, loose and lost cables. At first pass the Just Mobile AluCube Mini is an accessory in search of a purpose. The more I thought [...]
XCom Global Is an Unlimited Access International Wireless Solution
Before attending Mobile World Congress last month, I was a bit concerned that online access would be an issue. Not only is it ridiculously expensive to roam on 3G internationally, but WiFi service typically either carries a steep service charge, or it’s impossible to get decent speeds when the service is free – assuming you can even get on and stay on without being booted [...]

Netzero Introduces ‘Free’ Mobile Broadband!
Do you remember Netzero? Back in the late 90′s they made a huge splash by being the first to introduce FREE dial-up internet service. They did this by offering ‘highly targeted’ advertising, something they had several patents around. More than a million people flocked to the service in the first 6 months, which was an [...]
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 [...]
Musicalight LED Sleeve for Learning Chords and Songs on the Guitar
In a strikingly odd development, we had news of TWO Kickstarter campaigns centered around parsing guitar tablature and delivering it via light-up fretboard overlay to aid with learning music. I wrote about Tabber earlier, now we have the Musicalight LED Sleeve! This is the problem they hope to solve: Let’s face it: learning to play [...]
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 [...]
