Have you seen the video eyewear headsets these days? Over the years I have tried on these Star Trek glasses at trade shows and wonder why you really need them. I have yet to hear from a gadget addict who has to have them or seen a person on a plane wearing them. However, I want to give them a fair review… and so I checked out the latest and greatest of these video headsets and looking for feedback on them. [...]

Once you have your account you can pay under $30/yr for unlimited calling to real [...]
Who doesn’t like a Mini? As a big fan of the entire Mini lineup I recently came across the 201 hp Mini E 100% Electric Car in field testing. This 2 seater (have to make room for the batteries) is a zero-emissions car that makes sense. Smaller in the interior than a standard Mini it allows 2 people to cruise on electric power without performance issues. It’s not a Tesla but please read on. What’s the Big Deal? 201 hp [...]
As a huge fan of camping & coffee technology, the JetBoil Personal Cooking System with optional coffee press attachment is a unique combination for the outdoor fanatic. Good coffee while camping is essential in my book and seems to be a dual purpose stove. Although this all sounds great I do have some reservations about this product with so many add-ons so please read on. Concept of JetBoil Attach a JetBoil fuel canister to the bottom (hear other 225g canister [...]
Mosquito’s are a serious issue in Florida and sometimes you need to purchase products to slow down mosquito’s before all your blood is drawn from your body! The Black Flag Propane Fogger is a product that I recently purchased from Lowes and is an interesting device (see my video review). At $69, the propane fogger works like a gas grill in addition to fogging Insecticide. Kills this! Once you turn it on you “pump” the trigger to release the chemical [...]
Meet the Sony Vaio Signature Collection CS390 Notebook – with faux crocodile skin and gold accents it’s really unique. Personally I am not lining up for this laptop but with only 300 in production it creates a sense of need (right?). At 2.8Ghz with dual core processor it features a 14.1 xBrite Sony screen supports to 8GB of ram and 400GB harddrive. Starting at $779 it can reach $1800+ with blu-ray and other add-ons. My gut feel is that this [...]
At first glance the Vibram FiveFingers shoe design is a little creepy (my wife gave a veto just now). These shoes fit over your feet and look like your feet! The design takes a minimalist approach to barefooting. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles protect your feet and provide a sure grip over a variety of terrain. A thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric fits low on the foot—for comfort and quick drying. I like them! CLASSIC IS BEST FOR: Running, [...]
The Sevylor K2 River XDS Inflatable Kayak is amazing. Recently, I was able to able to do a test drive in Redondo Beach, CA (thanks to my brother buying one). The concept is to put this 52 lb.folded boat in your trunk and take to a river or ocean, inflate and have a great time. This is not one of those cheap pool toys but a high performance $1000 river kayak that can handle rapids. Features: Holds 2 adults and [...]
I recently video reviewed an HDMI cable from Optimized Cable Company and wanted to follow up with a post. As HD video continues to take control of our lives (HDTV, Blu-Ray, Computers) you are going to need more of these HDMI cables and apparently not are all equal. The original cable vs. gold plated (new one). Now let me preface that I am not an expert on HDMI so if you are please comment below and encourage the feedback. I [...]
The iPhone and iTouch are amazing devices to watch video, browse the web, play with apps, etc. However, try holding yours for any period of time in vertical or horizontal position and you arms get tired. Below is the latest design in iphone desktop holders by Podium. Platinum Podium $48 (visit Podium Site) Elegance in platinum design, allows you to use with Apple iphone or itouch as an easy way to hold in vertical or horizontal positions. Perfect for email, [...]
My Apple iPhone 3G is always running out of battery life and many vendors are catching on to the add-on market for portable battery extensions. In this post I review my top 5 favorite designs and assume many more exist that are great but still on the drawing table right now. In researching this I came across a page at Apple that basically says turn off 3G, wi-fi, lower brightness, turn off push mail… get serious Apple! Apparently a new [...]
I was talking with my brother Mark about his new Bluetooth headset and asked him to share his findings. He was frustrated with cell phone headsets and have to say I am too! I recently purchased the Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset for use with my Blackberry Curve. I love it! Worth the $99 . My top criteria were; sound quality/noise cancelling, fit/comfort and talk time. Sound quality/noise: I was getting complaints about road noise when I made calls from [...]
As a pool owner, cleaning the pool is not fun. The new Polaris 3900S Automated Pool cleaner has a sleek design like a Porsche and Hummer Like aggressive power to all 3 wheels for achieving a clean pool. Let me preface, I had the Polaris 360 (most advanced pressure side cleaner w/o booster) and worked great until recently I retired it. Although I have not decided on a automatic pool cleaner replacement I noticed the new Polaris 360 which is the [...]
TagHeuer has decide to create a line of eyewear based on the successful watch designs called Speedway by F1 World Race Car Champion Kimi Raikkonen. What I like is the attention to detail, just enough metal work and the non-flash appeal of these. Living in Florida, sunglasses are extremely important and currently use Persol’s but this may be my new solution for the summer months. Why not look hip as you hold that iphone? Side View of TagHeuer Speedway Sunglasses [...]
Recently, I went camping and was thinking about a folding kitchen table setup to prepare food on. I came across the REI Camp Kitchen and seems to be an excellent camping or tailgating gadget. The aluminum and steel design has space on the left and right for food preparation (or mixing drinks) and a wind covered center portion for the portable grill. On my last camping trip the wind was so strong it was difficult to shield the stove to [...]
