Taking photos is no longer left to professional photographers. Many of us post photos constantly to online sites to share with the world.

Read MoreThe Tactical Fire Striker Pen – it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a…pen?
There are days when you wish you had super powers. Invisibility, super strength, or laser eyes would definitely spice up the regular routine. Sadly, most all of us can associate with the average Joe.

There may be new shiny things that have faster DPI settings or backlit keys, but if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. The keyboard and mouse are very separate items, but can you imagine a world where they were combined?
Read MoreY-cam Home Monitor – burglars beware!
If you live in a “safe” neighborhood, that doesn’t mean that the chances of being robbed have disappeared. If burglars decide that your home is a target and you’re not there, sad to say but there’s not a whole lot you can do.
