Why is it that the very times we need our mobile phones the most, are the times when we have no signal? It’s some kind of law, Need to make an urgent call? No signal. Browse a crucial website? No signal. Find a gas station fast? No…signal. And so on. But help is at hand.

Info: Many people believe that Kevin was the original inspiration for the character Tony Stark of Ironman fame, while others believe that he is the REAL Tony Stark. Only time will tell which group is correct. Kevin graduated in engineering and economics while living in Michigan and a master's degree in business while in Mississippi. A veteran reviewer of over 10 years, he is also currently a Top 50 reviewer on Amazon.com, which just shows that he has far too much time on his hands.
GolfSense 3D Golf Swing Analyzer – the perfect gift for the invisible golfing dad in your family [Review]
True story – for seven years I worked in the golf industry and watched as the industry’s main manufacturers continually created new products to help improve play. Most were marketed as the newest, latest, and greatest products that were designed to help you knock strokes off of your game. But the industry’s dirty little secret was that most of it really didn’t matter. The key improvement needed by most golfers is simply the development of muscle memory.
Read MoreOgio Renegade Backpack – some real tough love for your precious gadgets [Review]
I like gadgets… and chances are you like them too. The Ogio Renegade Backpack lets you haul around all of your technological marvels without missing a beat. This should not be confused with Who’s Got the Beat although it is comforting to know you still have the beat if you are trying to perform ‘Who’s Got the Beat’ in the first place . Confused? Me too. Let’s continue…
Read MoreDolly by iStabilizer – keep your videos smooth and silky on a budget [Review]
Let’s face, even on your best day (especially before the first coffee) your hand is likely to be a touch shaky. Which means that trying to film something at 50X is going to produce a fair amount of image bounce. Sure you can go out and purchase a tripod, but why do that when you can buy a cool looking rolling robot mount?
Read MoreSuperTooth Disco Twin Bluetooth Speakers…LOUD!! [Review]
For those who live in America, and are old enough to remember, there was a chewing gum commercial featuring the Doublemint Twins – for everyone else you can see the video here. Right, now that the DoubleMint Gum jingle is stuck in your head (Double your pleasure with DoubleMint Gum…) we can move onto the review.
Read MorePhiaton PS 20 NC Active Noise Canceling Earphones – excellent sound quality and…what, what did you say? [Review]
There are times in life that you need to have the ability to escape from your surroundings. This is especially true if/when you are doing 20-30 years of prison time in an Elbonian mud dungeon. Escaping is also valuable when you’re trapped for 14 hours on an international flight between Washington DC to Dubai surrounded by five screaming infants. Personally I’d probably select the 20 year stretch in the dungeon over 14 hours of screaming infants, but then again I…
Read MoreKid Friendly Ematic FunTab Pro Tablet Offers Safe Computing For Youngsters [Review]
Kids and tablet computers can be a dangerous combination. If they open up a search engine and type a simple question like, ‘where do babies come from’, it’s less likely they’ll get a picture of a stork, and more that they’ll be greeted with the complete process in full glorious technicolor (probably with a helpful video).
Read MoreV-Moda Crossfade M-100 Metal Headphones – comfortable, look good, and sound great [Review]
Who doesn’t want to be a part of the cool crowd? No one likes to eat alone at the lunch table while the cool kids throw their pie at your hair. Not that that ever happened to me…. I made sure to shave off all of my hair before I sat at lunch tables. Nerd clever, that’s me.
Read MoreCobra Pack by Booq – tough, flexible and with more spy pockets than James Bond [Review]
Those of us who spend any time traveling realize that there are few decisions in life as important as deciding what you pack into your carry-on bag. Of course there are life decisions that are more important – who you are going to marry, your major in college, and of course what TYPE of bag you will use for holding all of your carry-on goodies.
Read MoreSwann Sky Eye – helicopter camera grabs great video if you can keep it aloft long enough [Review]
Remote controlled helicopters have become a popular craze. With the possible exception of Justin Bieber, they may be the most popular things on earth* (*this may be a slight exaggeration…. Justin Bieber really isn’t that popular.)
Read MoreBlack Diamond 3 Wireless Speaker by Yantouch [Review]
I am going to start the review on this wireless speaker by going off on a tangent. I have a good friend who had a very famous pick-up line for meeting girls. He would walk up to them and smile and say, “Do you like to dance?” it rarely worked, but it was inoffensive enough that he never had a drink thrown in his face. He was also a disc jockey (aka a “DJ”) at many of the college parties,…
Read MoreAQ SmartSpeaker – the wireless ‘multi-room’ speaker comes with bags of range and style [Review]
There are wireless speakers and there are wireless speakers. At the cheap end of the range you will find the tinny plastic sounding units with very little to offer most people, while at the top end, the expensive products will tear a large hole in your wallet. But what about the middle of the pack, where decent quality meets a reasonable price?
Read MoreInaTrap Electronic Insect Killer – say goodbye to the buzz-buzz sting… [Review]
Some people do not believe in soul-sucking demons. They do not think it is possible that some entity could float up to you and begin to suck the life force from your body. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but these demon creatures exist – we call them *mosquitoes*. Fortunately the folks at InaDays and Acase have created a nice and attractive demon exorcism machine that they have packaged as a giant night light.
Read More3M Smart Lens Photochromic Safety Glasses – be safe and look cool too? [Review]
If you are like most of us you have two eyes. Sure they may not be as handsome to look at as mine, but you likely have two of them, and they are probably located on your head somewhere above the nose. It’s important to remember that your eyes are pretty tough to replace. Sure you could buy these things, but while they may look cool, they could cause difficulty with your depth perception.
Read MoreGomadic SunVolt Solar Charger – become a sun loving power ranger [Review]
There are times in your life when you need a little (or a lot) of power. That’s OK if you are near a power outlet, but often you can be off the grid, perhaps on a hiking trail, a beach, being chased by the CIA, or possibly Mars. No matter where, it’s possible you’re going to have to make a call, or watch a video, and you’ll need power.
