It's been since the beginning of the year since I reviewed Speck products, so I was quite pleased to be reviewing some of their products for the newer products like Samsung's Galaxy S8 and the Note 8. These are the ones with Presidio in their name, presumably after that famous neighborhood in San Francisco. Speck Presidio CLEAR for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Well, it's … [Read more...] about Speck Christmas, Part 1: Presidio CLEAR, GRIP, and GRIP + GLITTER for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8

Cocoon Innovations, Part 2: TECH 16-inch Backpack
And now it is time to review another Cocoon Innovations product with the TECH 16-inch backpack. I will have to say that it is a small step up from the last product I reviewed, but that is good, right? Oh yes, it is very good. In fact, I decided to show this particular image here for those who are unaware of what the GRID-IT system looks like. Those are those elastic … [Read more...] about Cocoon Innovations, Part 2: TECH 16-inch Backpack
Cocoon Innovations, Part 1: Graphite 15-inch Brief
There is one thing that I like, and that is Cocoon Innovations. They were the pioneers of the GRID-IT system that I wrote about before here.

Thunderbolt 3 Dock from OWC
Once again, I am doing a review of a laptop/desktop accessory with the Thunderbolt 3 Dock from OWC. I am not certain what OWC stands for, but they seem to make a lot of really interesting products. The Thunderbolt 3 Dock is enough to give your computer 13 ports, provided that it is plugged in with the Thunderbolt 3 cable. On the front is a USB 3.1 Generation 1 for … [Read more...] about Thunderbolt 3 Dock from OWC

How Franklin Graham, One Million Moms, and other Christians are Killing our Youth
If you didn't jump on the Disney boycott in March when Franklin Graham told people that they should boycott because the live version of Beauty and the Beast had a gay character, or back in 1997 when Southern Baptists called for a Disney boycott because of Disney's pro-gay policies, then Franklin Graham and others like One Million Moms, are calling people to join another … [Read more...] about How Franklin Graham, One Million Moms, and other Christians are Killing our Youth

Body Shaming and #MeToo
I came across a post by someone in a Facebook group I am a part of. One more story of a girl who was sent home because her body was a "distraction." Her crime? She was wearing a t-shirt with a little bit of cleavage showing. She happened to be a more well-endowed girl, so it didn't really matter that her shirt was pretty modest. She didn't have a low scooping neckline, but a … [Read more...] about Body Shaming and #MeToo

Toast Cases for the iPhone 8 and Microsoft Surface Pro 2017
By now, I have reviewed at least three Toast products in the past few years, and it stands to reason that they would put out covers for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as the new Surface Pro 5 (2017).

Mike Pence Protests the NFL on Taxpayers’ Dime
Vice President Mike Pence attended Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and his hometown Indianapolis Colts briefly, in what appears to be a planned protest of kneeling football players. Well, he says that he was attending the game specifically because Peyton Manning was being honored, but instead of focusing on honoring Manning, it seems that he has taken the focus … [Read more...] about Mike Pence Protests the NFL on Taxpayers’ Dime
