Giveaway and Review: Modernizing Monopoly with Electronic Banking
Show me a family who hasn’t played Monopoly before and I will let you see the dinosaur I keep in my back yard. I would hazard to guess that pretty much any family has, at one point of time or another, played Monopoly. It’s a rite of passage and part of growing up. You have […]

Hope that our Cast of Dads podcast title grabbed you! Yeah, being a dad, we get to experience all types of fluids coming from our kids. That is just the facts of life…and you really get used to it. I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not, but it is a reality. […]
The MicroVision SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector is Small, Easy to Use & I’m Giving One Away!
I have only reviewed a couple of pico projectors but that is enough to convince me how great having such a small, portable form factor is. Pico projectors are a very similar to those projectors you find in conference rooms or schools, but much, much smaller and with less light output. But what you may […]

Giveaway & Review: Move All Your Remote Controls to the Logitech Harmony One!
I have long been an advocate and user of universal remote controls. I mean, who wants to have a drawer or table top full of remotes that you have to juggle around to control various devices. Nowadays, many remotes that you receive with a new TV or a cable box do have the ability to […]

I usually write about technology, gadgets, software, hardware and other gizmos. I also have been know to talk about parenting from time to time.
