Jack Metro Tablet Bag from Jill-E Designs
I think that we all know that the tablet market is huge, but it doesn't look like Apple planned on accessories for them. Especially when it comes to carrying them around. The Jack Metro Tablet Bag is made to hold the tablet, and it will accommodate a ten-inch tablet computer, iPad, e-reader, or other device. I tried it out with a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab 2 and it was … [Read more...] about Jack Metro Tablet Bag from Jill-E Designs

I think the future is going to give us an age of Telepresence, which is essentially being somewhere without actually being there.

Of course, everyone should know that I am big on all things LEGO, and I found not one, but two products that will take the brick.
