You have one don’t you? If not, you have no idea what you are missing. They can be picked up pre-seasoned for prices that are lower than your ordinary cooking skillet. Some of the best meals I have made come out of mine (not that I’m much of a cook), and you don’t wash it! [...]

I am a jeweler by trade, and the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal is a flex shaft drill. I honestly don’t understand how any workshop can exist without one. Sure I know about Dremel, but they are clunky and big in your hand. A dremel’s motor is also located inside the [...]

I don’t care how stupid they look, LED headlamps are some of the most useful things you can have. Whether your camping, working on a computer, soldering, you name it. Having a bright light pointed exactly where you are looking at all times is indispensable. Now that LEDs are cheaper and brighter than they [...]

As I get older I am starting to realize the importance of creature comforts. I’ve also mentioned before my new found fascination with shaving. Learning to shave correctly has really opened my eyes as to what I have been missing all these years. Convenience seems to have over taken the need to not tear your [...]

This is on my “I have to get very damn quick” list. I always found those individual faucet filters, and the pitchers you have to fill a little silly. I like walking up to the sink, any sink, and getting a glass of water, and I don’t want it to take 30 seconds to fill [...]

I live in a 2nd story condo, and I like steak. So of course I need a grill. I bought one of these more than 2 years ago, and I got such a good deal on it that I bought it 6 months before I even moved into my new condo. Almost [...]

I mentioned in an earlier post about me having gadgets all over my car. This is how I have them distributed all along my dash. The Proclip system comes in 2 parts, one that is car specific and mounts non destructively to pretty much any late model car in existence. The second part is gadget [...]

Music pretty much runs my world, and gadgets, and bikes, well damn, you get the point. Having that music with me is very important, and being able to do it in a convenient way just takes the cake. These little JVC pocket speakers are great. With a plastic cover that folds back and turns into [...]

Have a camera, laptop and a handful of other cool things you like to bring with you when you travel? I do, and that’s why I got one of these bad boys. Lowepro is well known for making great bags for all types of situations, so once I saw they made one like this I [...]

This would be one of those “get it while you can” items. The F series of the Toshiba Gigabeat was the first in the line of these great MP3 players. The Gigabeat eventually evolved into what is now the Microsoft Zune, but in this one of its earlier incarnations you can replace the firmware. The [...]
