Review: Honeywell HCM 350 Cool Mist Humidifier
As I’ve mentioned, the air quality of the room I spend the majority of my waking, non-working life in is very important to me. I eat in that room, play in that room, relax in that room, and occasionally work in that room. I want that room to be comfortable. I want that room to envelop me and provide me with an unfettered, worry free experience. Purifying the air is part of that. Making sure ...[Read More]
Review: Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Headset
Earlier in the year, I started taking a mile run in the mornings. …Okay, I started taking a mile jog in the mornings. …FINE, I started taking a mile WALK in the mornings. I have bad knees, get off my case, you’re not my mom. Anyway, as a way of making the walk seem shorter, I’d stick my iPhone in my pocket, plug in my headphones, and blast various albums directly into my br...[Read More]
Review: Honeywell HPA-150 Air Purifier
When I’m not asleep, most of the time I spend at home is spent in front of our TV. I may be using the computer, watching TV, playing video games, or watching a movie, but it all happens in one room, from one general location. With a full size PC and two laptops always on and running, and the Xbox 360 spending quite a lot of time active, dust from case fans becomes a real concern. As an avid ...[Read More]
Review: Force FX Lightsabers (Detachable Blade)
If I could have one wish, it would be to have a fully functional lightsaber of my own design and specifications. Yes, there’s world peace, an end to hunger and homelessness, and the general advancement of humanity…but I REALLY want a lightsaber, y’know? Unfortunately, we do not have the technology now to produce such a wonderful thing. We do, however, have the technology to produ...[Read More]
Review: Freedom i-Connex Bluetooth Keyboard
Mobile technology is an incredible thing. When I went to E3, the only things I put in my messenger bag for appointments and the floor was a composition book and my iPhone (and other basic necessities, like energy bars, water, a charging cable, etc.). Almost all of my photos and videos were taken using my iPhone, but I still had to take most of my notes in the composition book. While the iPhoneR...[Read More]
Review: Roxio Game Capture Device
Everyone likes to brag about their gaming achievements. Everyone loves to tell Falstaff tales about how they took out four Borgia guards single-handedly using only their double hidden blades in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Everyone loves to tell big fish stories about a great racing win in SEGA Rally Online Arcade. Everyone loves to recount their legendary musical shooter performance in Ch...[Read More]
Review: The N-Control Avenger

Review: ZAGGsparq 2.0
We’re living in a mobile technology world, and I am a mobile technology…guy. I am, in fact, a mobile technology power-user, especially when it comes to press events and conventions. My iPhone 4 acts as my notepad, camera, video camera, audio recorder, phone, and full mobile web interface. Without it, I would be lost. As such a heavy power-user, though, I find that my battery life takes...[Read More]
Review: Universal Gadget Wrist Charger
Mobile technology is, quite frankly, one of the scientific advancements I am most thankful for. We are living in Star Trek (minus warp drive and sexy green women), and when I sit back and think about that, I am simply amazed at how far we have come in such a short time. Now, for the love of Trelane, science me up a new battery technology to keep my devices running longer! As I await that next leap...[Read More]
Review: FroliCat BOLT Interactive Pet Laser Toy
I’m a cat person. Over the years, I’ve found that a cheap way to get a great deal of entertainment out of your cat is with the use of a laser pointer. Racing the dot across the carpet, tile, and wall results in frenetic outburst of feline chattering, agility, and aerobatics. The laser pointer is also a good way to keep your cat’s attention occupied so that they stay out of troubl...[Read More]
Review: ScanGauge II
I am a self-admitted technology geek (among other kinds of geek). As a technology geek, I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of data. Johnny 5 said it best with his oft-quoted phrase, “Need input!” Well, I need input. I want statistical and diagnostic data and information about EVERYTHING. I want to know how my computer is performing, I want to know how my net connection is ...[Read More]
Review: Kinect Sensor
First, I gave you delightful readers a review of PlayStation Move, then, Austin gave us a nice PlayStation Move vs. Xbox Kinect article back in September. So, now that the Xbox Kinect has been released, what’s the verdict?
