Scanners haven’t changed much over the years, despite the fact that technology has moved on. Most business scanners still use slow moving imaging sweeps across a glass platen, which gives great results but is also cumbersome.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, why buy a product for one job when you can get it to do two for the same price? Umbrellas as sunshades, televisions as computers, it definitely makes sense.

Working an office job is not exactly exciting. You have to repeat the same menial tasks day in and day out. While you may have hobbies and activities outside of work that keep you active, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be engaging your mind while you’re at work. Sprucing up your office space with decorations is a good idea, but why not also have them be useful?

Spring is finally showing its shining face! This means it’s time to start dragging the family out and away from the computer screen after a long hibernation of gaming indoors. If you happen to have little ones and want to go on a bike ride without fear of them getting hurt, why find a way to make sure everyone can fit on one bicycle?

When you think of using silverware, you likely imagine them neatly perched on a napkin, safe from germs that live on the table. Of course, we all know that the second the meal starts these utensils will be all over the place. You don’t really think about re-engineering silverware to keep it from bacteria, but hey, someone has to, right?

Games like Monopoly or Life are drawn out, fun, and make for a relaxed setting. However, there are games on the other side of the coin where you are supposed to be in suspended panic until the end, such as Jenga. Things start out easygoing, but near the end your heartbeat is up, and you’re trying not to breathe on your tower of blocks. Can you imagine what would happen if that game somehow became more suspenseful?

While I doubt any of us have taken on the profession of espionage, there are times where being discreet can come in handy. Have an article in a magazine that you want to remember but don’t want to snap a picture with your phone? How about using a pen with a built-in scanner so it looks like you’re writing down a grocery list instead?

While sleeping in absolute darkness works for some people, others like to have a little light around. It helps with trips to the kitchen for a glass of water so you aren’t tripping over everything (and it makes the night a bit less creepy). The only problem is that sometimes a full-on wall plug night light is far too bright.

I’m ashamed to say that I’m not really a fan of this style of over-the-ear outdoors headphone. In my opinion if you’re outside listening to music in all the noise and traffic why wouldn’t you isolate yourself from as much noise as possible with in-earphones? So with all that in mind, why am I reviewing these RHA SA950i headphones? Well to start with they look really good, and secondly because I was so impressed with the last earphones they sent…

We love to share information with each other. Photos, videos, and articles can be uploaded and downloaded at a dizzying pace. Of course, most of the time we pass things on through our computer or show them off on our phones, but when you want to present things to a wider audience, say a family reunion or birthday party, it can be a little more difficult.

Most of our lives hover around electronics, but there are those of us who still use archaic writing utensils such as pens and pencils. The most frustrating thing about these writing implements is that they break or just stop functioning on occasion. If you do enjoy scrawling out words or doodles quite often, you know how attached you can become to one pen or pencil. If it’s not particularly well-built, it will eventually break and/or run out of graphite or…

So you like to shoot video, eh? Your camera may be able to capture the tiniest detail down to wrinkles in the face, but all it takes is one good jolt to ruin the magic. Gravity is your worst enemy when it comes to filming, because once you finish up a good day of shooting, you might be shocked to find that what you thought was a perfect scene has a major flaw in it. There are all sorts of…

Here’s a quick round-up of Red Ferret posts from the past week for those who missed them. Enjoy.
Read MoreLet’s face it. There’s not much about ice cube trays to get excited about. They do the job and that’s about it. BUT leave it to an award winning design team to come up with something new – the Polar Bear Ice Cube Tray! Shaped like a polar bear, this fun gadget is easy to use. Just fill it with water and pop it into the freezer. It’s sealed tight so the cubes won’t absorb any food odors. And don’t…
