Review: Epson WorkForce 610 All-in-One Printer
Over my many years as a computer nerd, remarkably I have never had a printer physically BREAK before. That of course doesn’t mean I haven’t bought my fair share of printers, however my buying decisions were for the most part forced upon me by “progress”. For example, when I bought my first Bondi blue iMac which only had USB ports (no old school printer... Read More
Review: Embarrass yourself thin with the Withings Body Scale
These days it seems there are only two things that will motivate Americans to lose weight – Money, and Embarrassment. Money (as in a reality TV show) or Embarrassment (like wanting to look good at a wedding or class reunion for people you haven’t seen in 20 years). Well, I’m happy to say I am not quite fat enough for someone to actually pay to watch me lose weight,... Read More
How To: Fix a noisy car stereo iPod/iPhone connection with this Magic Box
I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but one of the few reasons I opted to spend $6,000 more for a Toyota Camry over a Toyota Corolla is the Camry had an AUX in port for my iPhone, and the Corolla did not. For years in my old Ford Contour I had to make due with horrible iPod FM transmitters that may possibly work fine in Nebraska, but which are more or less useless if you live outside... Read More
Review: PhoneSuit’s Primo iPhone/iPod battery
PhoneSuit’s been making a pretty decent name for itself in the “rechargeable external iPhone battery” game, and their latest offering, the Primo, is a welcome, if not pint-sized addition to the family. Available in either black or white and costing $34.95 (PhoneSuit also offers a 3-pack bundle including 3 of PhoneSuit’s screen protectors as well for only... Read More
Review: Ultrasone’s Zino S-Logic Natural Surround Sound Portable Headphones
I often find it funny when I meet someone who is obsessed with their iPod or iPhone, yet continues to use the stock earbuds that ship with the device. Yes, they’re not the worst earbuds in the world (although they ARE some of the most overpriced if you need to buy a replacement set) but if you use them as your sole conduit of sound between your music player and your ears,...

Privacy be DAMNED! This holiday season, Background Check App is the ultimate party game
We’ve all been there: you’re young, hanging out with your friends, high on Mountain Dew, and then someone yells out “Hey! Let’s run some guns down to Cuba!” Flash forward 10 years, and you’re SURE that 5-year stint in the Federal Penitentiary will never come back to haunt you. But then you end up at a Christmas party with me, and I have the Background... Read More
Review: Tyme Machines Star Wars flash drives come to a galaxy very, very close
When it comes to giving geeks presents, nothing says “I love you and respect your need to move large files quickly” like a USB flash drive. And nothing says “I am a geek too” like giving them a flash drive that looks like a bobble-head Star Wars character. Each drive consists of a 3-inch tall figure from the original Star Wars movies (aka, the good ones).... Read More
Review: Konnet Shine case for iPhone
If you asked 10 iPhone users what their favorite iPhone case is, I think it’s a safe bet you would get 10 different answers. The criteria for what makes a good iPhone case is one of the more subjective discussions a geek can have. Take me and the decidedly less geeky Bride of Macenstein, for example. We received a duo pack of Konnet’s new ultra slim (and aptly named)... Read More

Dictator Defense: The Most Addictive Defense Game since Fieldrunners
As a reviewer, one of the best indications that you should write about a game is that you do not want to stop playing the game long enough to write about it. Dictator Defense ($2.99 iTunes) by Digital Chocolate is just such a game for me, and it basically ate my entire weekend. Meet the dictators Digital Chocolate is one of my favorite, if not consistent, iPhone game developers.... Read More
