My grandmother used to make one pie a day, and it would be devoured before breakfast the next morning. That was back when every day was lots of hard work, home cooked meals were filled with calories, and it was only to keep up your strength. When you make pies everyday, there is a little variety in the mix. Don’t like Monday’s pie? Wait until Tuesday or Wednesday and have something new. Nowadays, we don’t eat pie as often, but…

How many hours per day do you spend at your desk? Personally, I’ll spend up to 14 hours in the same spot each day, during the week. Much like your bed, it’s important that if you spend a large amount of time in the same place, it should be comfortable. The real question is just how far you’re willing to go to get that comfort. If money is no object, then you might want to look into this Emperor 1510…

I remember going to carnivals when I was a kid, and always heading straight for the bounce houses. Sure, I’d been on a trampoline before, but you had limited space for jumping, and there were no walls to bounce off of. Unfortunately now that I’m an adult, they tend to give you mean looks and point to the sign that says I’m too tall to use the bounce house. If you’re just as disappointed as I am about such things,…

Smartphones and tablets are great to carry around, as they can carry out many different tasks for you, including playing music and videos. Unfortunately for those people with large libraries of media, these devices can’t quite hold it all. And those with older devices might not have more than a few gigabytes to store it all on. That’s why streaming is a good way to get the content you want onto your phone, and Air Playit looks like it could…

We’re all looking for ways to cut corners in this bad economy. Of course, we still want to �keep up with the Joneses� as the saying goes. The only way we can do that is if we spend money knowing that we’re going to get a huge return on what we’ve spent. It seems that the EverSense thermostat is trying to be one of those items that will not only save you money, but will combine several functions into one…

It’s no secret that I have a love for steampunk. I’m always on the lookout for items that incorporate the style into functional objects. One of my favorite things to see steampunked is a pocket watch. Unfortunately most of the ones I see look interesting, but are still nothing but battery-powered timepieces at their core. However, this Solar Powered Turbine Fob Watch has a bit more to it.

There’s a word that’s been floating around for the last few months that strikes fear into the hearts of internet users everywhere. SOPA. It stands for the Stop Online Piracy Act, and it threatens to disrupt the entire internet as we know it. Essentially, it gives copyright holders the ability to make entire websites disappear from the internet for hosting infringing material. What’s more is that even if the infringing material comes from a user who uploaded it to the…

There are a lot of ways to ruin your phone. One of the easiest is allowing it to come into contact with water. It’s amazing what a small amount of liquid can do to a piece of electronic equipment. But what if you could make your phone virtually waterproof? A company by the name of Liquipel specializes in doing just that.

It seems that books are starting to slowly filter out of homes, and eReaders and tablets are taking their place. Though it is a bit sad to see them go, the environment is probably a little happier about the shift. Even with these kinds of devices though, it takes energy to power them, which can be costly, and still have some adverse effects on the environment. Which is why cases like the SolarKindle can come in rather handy.

If you�ve ever had an induction range, you know how sleek and awesome they are. They do have the same function as any type of stove, as your food is still going to be cooked on it. The advantage to induction ranges is that it’s much easier to clean, but it has the same general idea of specific areas to put pots and pans when cooking.

When in the shower or bath, nothing is more relaxing than a little music. However, if you’re soaked and trying to skip to the next song, you may accidentally cause some water damage while trying to do so. That’s why items like the iShower Bluetooth-enabled shower speaker is such a great idea.

Anyone who plays a stringed instrument likely has a tuner, or magical tuning powers. (aka perfect pitch) For those of us who don’t have super human capabilities, we have to use a tuner, and hope that it is functioning correctly so we don’t mess up the song we’re about to play. However, even if we’re right in the middle of a song the strings can still work their way out of tune.

Coming home from work is a cause for celebration because it means you can sit and watch Star Trek until you have to sleep. Although, it’s a little bittersweet because you can only be a spectator to such a fantastical world. You keep hoping and praying that somehow the TV will engulf you so that the only job you’d have to worry about would be on the Enterprise.

YouTube is one of of the most revolutionary websites to come out of the last decade. It gave us the ability to not only share new video creations of our own, but to watch commercially-produced videos any time we wanted. Of course, it took a long time for the record labels to agree to have their music videos on the site legally (with advertisements and such), but now it’s pretty easy to find most songs that you want. When there’s…

Being around anything glass makes me nervous, for the same reason letting a bull into an antique store would scare anyone else. If it’s breakable, it should be in the middle of a solid surface, so it can’t get knocked off the side. Well, that’s what I had thought until I came across the Bubble Tank Fish Bowl.
