Since we are getting into the holiday season since we started the month of October, it is time to think about gift ideas. I'm thinking anything by OGIO for a young or old active professional is good, and the Active and Ascent Packs would be a great big gift under the tree. I'll go ahead and start with the Apollo. It is a laptop backpack with a "streamlined" design for … [Read more...] about The OGIO Ascent and Apollo Backpacks

Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard Review

Hands on with the Buoy Tags
I always like reviewing products that I didn't think that I needed. In the case of Buoy Tags, it addresses an interesting problem that I haven't had, but I'm sure that other people have had them. It's those darn charging cords or earbuds from Apple, they are just so white and they all look alike. It would be so easy to just walk off with someone's accessory. However, if … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Buoy Tags
Case Logic Kontrast DSLR Shoulder Bag
Well, I had another chance to try out some Case Logic products, and was pleased to receive the Kontrast DSLR Shoulder Bag.

Fuz Designs Dock for the Apple Watch
This would be the first time that I have reviewed an accessory for the Apple Watch, and I am certain that it won't be the last time.

The Fuz Dock is a dock for the Apple Watch, and it is there not just for charging, but for looks … [Read more...] about Fuz Designs Dock for the Apple Watch
LifeCHARGE 6-foot Lightning Charge Cable

It is also helpful that it is flat, which means that … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE 6-foot Lightning Charge Cable
