Whenever I travel I take along headphones to listen to music or movies on. Usually I take the in-ear versions because they’re lighter and easier to pack, but if I’m on a longer trip I like to take over ear headphones because for me, they’re usually more comfortable for longer periods of listening time. My [...]
I’ve been an iPhone and iPad user for years and like a lot of users who use their smartphones a lot, I usually either run the battery down every day or come very close to it. Ditto with my iPad, so I’ve been trying to find a single solution to keep both of the device [...]
I’ve used Macs for years – actually since they started making the computers; and over that period of time I’ve gone from using various types of webcams to the built-in camera on notebooks. Now I’ve come full circle with my desktop computer. The computer I use as a desktop is currently a Mac Mini, [...]
I’ve been testing out the new Netatmo Urban Weather Station for a while now, and, it’d be a lot more fun to use if it’d stop snowing where I live. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – and it’s snowing again today. It actually seems to snow every day here! I asked for the weather station [...]

I’ve used Mophie products with the three versions of the iPhone and while the product stays basically the same in general terms, it’s interesting to see how they’ve managed to refine and streamline the Juice Pack idea from generation to generation. Their latest is called the Mophie Juice Pack Helium, and it’s thinnest, lightest battery [...]
The $499.99 CAD Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 is the latest iteration of their desktop scanner line that began with the ScanSnap 1300. As much as I liked the 1300, this new ix500 takes things to a whole new level in terms of speed and flexibility. It’s still a desktop scanner, with dimensions of 292mm W x [...]
To be quite honest I’ve never been a big user of Internet radio. I listen to local channels to hear local content, but for my music I tend to listen mostly to my iTunes collection, however, since Logitech sent me their new Logitech UE Smart Radio to look at I must admit that my listening [...]
Epson’s newest entry in the multifunction market is their $199.99 WF-3540. The WF stands for WorkForce, and these devices are really meant for a small or home-based business because of the dual paper trays, wireless access, and a duty cycle of 12,000 pages.
