  In Gadgets, Geeky, Misc., Outdoors

  

  There’s only one thing I can think of worse than camping, and that is camping with no cell phone.  If your smartphone is anything like my iPhone, using it for 15.5 seconds brings you from 100% to the red zone, which yields a great deal of anxiety.  Heaven forbid you can’t play Ruggle or check out Kim Kardashian’s baby bump on Instagram!  Now there’s the new Wenger Portable Solar Charger – a device you can [...]

  In Gadgets

  

  I’m convinced that when we leave for the day my cat eats our food, watches cable, and surfs the Internet, leaving no trace for us to discover.  Most of those things don’t bother me, but I’ll be dammed if I want her gross litter box paws in the Trader Joe’s Cookies that I give to my son.  Now there’s a way for me to watch her sneaky little feline tush get into mischief, and it’s called [...]

   

• Blue Microphones Nessie Ups the Ante in Home Recording

  In Gadgets

  

  When it comes to high-end USB-friendly microphones, Blue Microphones has pretty much set the standard for the last few years. Their latest offering, the Nessie, looks set to raise the bar.

• Homedics USB humidifier review

  In Gadgets, Geeky, Reviews

  

  With the advent of the winter months comes the dreaded office environment temperature variable. Invariably, this variable, is what makes us all sick with the winter blues, maybe under the form of a slight cold as depicted by having the sniffles, or perhaps under the more dreaded form of getting the seasonal flu. What causes it? Well, I remember years ago working in a building that would change their ventilation air filters twice a year, [...]

• The Hand-Cranking Eton Boost Turbine 2000 Allows You To Send Out A Few Last Texts Before The World Ends

  In Gadgets, Technology

  

  Let’s face it- whether we’re talking natural disasters, random acts of violence, or Mayan predictions, the world is clearly coming to an end before our very eyes, so why not start thinking about being prepared? My personal prediction is that the powers that be are going to wait until we’re all just a little bit more reliant on computers and electricity, and then just flip the switch so we’re all royally screwed.
