I'll be honest when I say that the Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-digital recording system is definitely for a niche crowd. I think it is just plain odd that I got into cassettes back in the early eighties, and then when the nineties happened, I was doing CDs. I think that the rest of the world was with me on this, so those who still have vinyl albums will love the … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System

This means that you can go watch anything on … [Read more...] about Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Into The Woods
I believe that this would be the first time that I reviewed a musical, unless you count Frozen. In this case, this would be a musical in a fairy-tale setting, and it is no surprise that it is from Disney. Into The Woods is probably the first live-action musical that I have reviewed, and I'll start out by saying a few words about musicals in general.

Gosh, Part 2: The Cordbox Cable and Power Strip Organizer
Okay, this is the second part of my Gosh product reviews, and I will repeat that this is the company's name. I actually believe it is Gosh! with that exclamation point, so I guess that means that this punctuation is just a part of the name. This is the Cordbox, and the purpose is to hide all of those nasty cords that are cluttering your desk or on your desk. It is … [Read more...] about Gosh, Part 2: The Cordbox Cable and Power Strip Organizer

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. This is from Fuz Designs, and I believe it is pronounced like "fuse" and not "fuzz". There is supposed to some line thing above the letter "U". 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
I've had a chance to review some LifeCHARGE products before in the past, and I was fortunate enough to get a product that is so new that it isn't even on the catalog yet. I went ahead and checked it out, and it is essentially MFI certified which makes the communication to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod very much seamless. It is also helpful that it is flat, which means that … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE 6-foot Lightning Charge Cable
