PBS Kids Show “Design Squad Nation” Hopes to Bring Out the Engineer in Kids
This past weekend, my 7 and 9 year old daughters and I were introduced to an interesting new show that is on PBS Kids called "Design Squad Nation". But we didn't watch it on TV, instead, we headed over to the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California to meet with the co-hosts of the show, Judy Lee and Adam…

Maintain Movie Star Quality Stubble with the “i-Stubble” by Conair for Men
Ever wonder how so many movie stars are able to keep a great looking face full of stubble day after day? Well, they probably have an expensive barber that follows them where ever they go. If you want to do it yourself, you need to use a groomer or beard trimmer and spend time carefully trimming your stubble down to…

Gadgets + Dads = “Dadgets” – Cast of Dads VIDEO podcast at CES 2011
The Cast of Dads has been on a bit of a vacation recently – the reality is, we've all been so busy that our little "baby" (Cast of Dads) has become a bit neglected. But we promise to get back on track! To get things going again, we actually did do a video podcast at CES 2011. Unfortunately it was…

4-Way iPad Keyboard Case Review: Sena Keyboard Folio, Kensington KeyFolio, ZAGGmate & tyPad
For many people, the iPad is fine the way it is...as just a tablet. However, for me, I needed something that was more than just a tablet but less than a laptop or even a netbook. That sweet spot requires one key thing...literally, a physical keyboard. So, why would anyone want to lug around a keyboard? I actually know quite…

Congrats Sony, You Have a Winner with the NEX-5 Digital Camera
At CES 2011, I was introduced to a fantastic digital camera made by Sony. It's the NEX-5 and while it is not exactly a Digital SLR camera (I did mistakenly call it that in my video below), it is perhaps the smallest digital camera that has a detachable and interchangeable lens. I have used a few small digital cameras in…

Install Video Monitoring for Home or Business in an Hour? You Can Do It Yourself with the Logitech Alert System
We are all paranoid, right? Well, most of us are. We worry about what is going on in the places where we are not. That could be your office when it's the weekend or your home when you are traveling or there is a baby sitter watching your kids. Or maybe you want to keep an eye on your pool…

A Couple Intel Innovations that Caught My Eye at CES 2011
There was a lot to see at CES 2011, so much so that next year I'm considering having an Intel processor installed in my brain just to try to analyze all of the information I consumed at the expo. Honestly, with all of the recent innovations coming from Intel recently, I wouldn't be surprised that somewhere deep within their Labs…

Ford Truly Deserves to be at CES: Ford Sync AppLink & 2012 Ford Focus EV Pave the Way!
For many, many years, I never thought much of Ford . I had been unimpressed with their cars (with a few exceptions like the Mustang) and especially with their styling and technology. In the 80's and 90's, to me, Ford was "just another American car" which said a lot. All of the technology, style and innovation had been coming from…

Keurig & Cuisinart Brew Coffee Making Solutions Quickly & Easily in a Single Serving
I'm going to make an odd comparison here and hopefully people will get it. We all know how successful Apple has been with their App store and the products that "consume" the applications like the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Well let's stretch our imagination a bit and apply this to the coffee brewer industry. Over the past few months,…

Apple TV – Uniting Ideas, Technology, Media and Gadgets
I think that I understand Steve Jobs' vision of a unified multimedia experience. Apple has been steadily forging ahead creating devices and operating systems that interconnect and work to create a rich, interactive environments. The Apple TV 2 is no different, making the big screen TV the convergence of many connected devices like computers running iTunes, the iPhone, the iPod…

Get Beyond those Home Video Style Webcams & Move to HD with the Microsoft LifeCam HD Cinema
Let's face it, when you buy a laptop, you don't usually think about the built-in webcam. But if you look at many of the laptops out there, you will see that the built-in webcams are dramatically underpowered and are pretty much like using a really old camcorder to do video calls or webcam-related actions. Many netbooks, for example, come with…

How Car Window Tinting Is Done – A Great After-Market Upgrade
Getting a new car is always fun. I personally love that new car smell that comes with your purchase. And making your car more "yours" is always important. Many people will cover their cars with bumper stickers or other types of customization. Some are purely aesthetic while others not only look good but also provide an additional function like safety…
