The 2012 Chrysler 300S Exudes Confidence & Style with some Technology & Performance Thrown In
I have driven a sedan now since 1998. It's a great form factor for a 4-5 person family, especially if your children are younger. As they grow up, sedans might not be a preferred choice, until the kids have flown the nest. But as a second car, a sedan is a definite solid addition to the family fleet of cars.…

Old Fashioned Content Delivery About New Fashioned Technology – Scholastic Discover More “Technology” Book
I usually write about technology and gadgets. Anything bright and shiny really gets my attention, so much so, that I have little to no time to read books as most of my reading is confined to trade publications and articles. My children, however, especially my youngest daughter seem to LOVE reading, which is exciting. However, I just got my hands…

Take a Piano With You Wherever You Go With The Line6 Mobile Keys For PC, Mac & iOS
When I was young, I played the piano. I was ok at it, did plenty of recitals and learned enough over 5 years to be able to still do some sight-reading even now. My middle daughter, who is 10 now, is quickly surpassing my skills, although for a while, I was able to sight-read some of her pieces so that…

With Springtime comes change. Hills start getting greener, trees start having leaves emerge from their dormant branches, flowers start opening, eyes start getting scratchy, noses start running, sniffles replace tabletop conversation, sneezes disrupt the normal flow of life.

Just How Weatherproof & Rugged is the Samsung Rugby Smart Android Smartphone? I Tested It Out!
You know that if you expose your smartphone to water, most likely, you are going to damage it. And, on top of that, you will probably void your warranty with your carrier. In many if not all smartphones, there are moisture indicators to determine if you accidentally dropped your phone into the sink or toilet. Usually, these are in the…

10 Ways Brands Can Work More Effectively with Top-Tier Bloggers
Bloggers are not second class citizens. At least not all of them. I do have to draw a bit of a line here between those "bloggers" who simply post sales, coupons, contents and giveaways, and those who produce content in the form of reviews, how-to articles, social commentary, experiences, analysis and the like. In my mind, there is a clear…

The 2012 Infiniti QX56 – A Luxurious SUV with Some Pretty Cool Tech
When I drive my 13 year old car, I realize that it is only (barely) good for getting from point A to point B. There is nothing fun about driving it. It's falling apart, has no performance, and really isn't good for anything other than being a transportation device. New car owners should feel really lucky, especially if they have…

Advanced Multimedia Storage & Streaming for your Home Network – Western Digital My Book Live Duo
Every time I write a blog post or an email or take a picture, I'm amazed at how something is created from literally nothing. It's so much different than when you wrote something on a piece of paper or took a photo to have it "printed" from film. In the past, we created physical object using the tools that we…

Just Cover It Up! Pritect – A Privacy Guard for the Xbox 360 & Windows Kinect
Sometimes low-tech is the best way to go. I hadn't really thought much about the Kinect for Xbox and Window in terms of privacy, until the folks at Catalyst Components reached out to me about their new product called the Pritect cover. It's a privacy guard for the Xbox 360 Kinect. What is the Kinect? It's a gesture, motion and sound…

“I Know I’m Going to Get a Speeding Ticket” – Review of the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of doing a parade lap in the Cadillac CTS-V station wagon at Infineon raceway. As I drove around the speedway, I made a mental note to myself - I MUST drive a CTS-V on the streets. My dream came true last week as I was able to spend 5 days behind the…

Walking Through IBM’s New iPad Cloud Application
It's no surprise that I'm writing about clouds and iPads and applications. If you do a search on my site, you will see that I write about all 3 of these topics, just never at the same time. When I found out that IBM had produced a Cloud application, my interests were sparked for many reasons: 1) I helped produce…
