Cool Office Supplies and Pen Reviews
I feel like I've posted a lot about Anker products and accessories lately, and thats probably for good reason. It seems that every time I find myself in need of some sort of technology accessory, they have one of the best products out there in terms of features and design. This Anker USB 3.0 7 Port Hub with 20W (4A) Power Adapter (via Amazon) is yet another fine product in their line of great computer accessories. … [Read more...]
Sometimes in the course of writing this blog I come across products that really just don't work well and in general I don't like to review them because I like spend time focused on the good products that work well that I WOULD recommend you purchase. In this case though I wanted to talk about wireless chargers for your cell phone, like this CHOETECH Qi Wireless Charger Kit for Samsung Galaxy S5 (via Amazon) that I bought before I bought my TYLT Vu Qi … [Read more...]
The TYLT Vu Qi Wireless Charger (via Amazon) is one of the more interesting chargers you will find with its unique shape and bright colors. Initially I almost skipped over it because I thought it was too flashy and didn't seem like a serious option. Eventually I took the plunge and grabbed it regardless of the slightly more expensive price and I'm pretty happy that I did. … [Read more...]
You might remember the write on and wash off Doodle by Stitch Tablecloth that we reviewed not too long ago, which was a big hit with our readers. Today we have another cool offering from the folks at Doodle by Stitch that offers the same cool writable and washable cloth in the form of a case for your tablet via (Doodle by Stitch and Amazon). A big thanks goes out to the nice folks at Doodle by Stitch for providing this review sample free of charge. … [Read more...]
For a while I've been having some issues with my laptop getting very hot, to the point where it even shuts down sometimes. I've done everything including cleaning it and using a cooling pad, but I think that these adjustable laptop legs from LapWorks (via Amazon) are probably the best and most simple answer I have found yet. After just a few days of using these the difference has been very noticeable. … [Read more...]
I recently saw a news story about taxi cabs in New York City installing USB charging ports in their passenger areas and it made me wonder if a USB keychain charging cable even existed. A quick search turned up a bunch of these mini charger cables for your keychain, but this particular one by Kero Industries looked like the best option to me. … [Read more...]
The folks at Bic are celebrating the fact that they have sold over 100 billion Bic Cristal pens with this universal typeface project, which is pretty cool. They are basically crowdsourcing what they are calling the Bic universal typeface and you can submit your own writing samples to contribute to the project too. … [Read more...]
It wasn't until recently that I became such a fan of the Anker line of accessories for your electronic devices. First it was their 15000 mAh Backup Charger, then their Adjustable Tablet Stand, and now its their awesome little 5 Port USB Wall Charger (via Amazon). … [Read more...]

Did you know that there was such a thing as World Backup Day? No? Well there is and its coming up on March 3st, right before April Fool's Day...see the irony there? The founders of World Backup Day are pretty much calling you a fool, so don't let them be right. I thought it would be a good PSA to use today's review to show the simple way that I've basically got copies of all my data at all times. All it requires is an external hard drive like this … [Read more...]
Back during Hurricane Sandy I was without a backup battery for my phone and tablet, which I realized was a huge mistake. Ever since that day I've been sure to have a backup in place, and I recently upgraded to this 15000 mAh Anker Astro E5 External Backup Battery which I grabbed on Amaon for a pretty reasonable price. Although I picked up the black version, there is a white version available as well. Imagine being able to recharge your smart phone 5-6 … [Read more...]
Back when they were having some great holiday sales, I picked up this new Letter Size Levenger Circa Tech Pocket Foldover (discontinued but still available on the eBay Levenger Outlet Store) to have somewhere for my table and analog notes. If you aren't familiar with Levenger terminology, Letter Size means that it measures 9.875 inches by 11.375 inches and is therefore big enough for a full size sheet of paper. So far this has been a great way to boost my … [Read more...]
The other day when I was shopping online for an external battery for my tablet, the suggestions by Amazon led me to a pretty nice little portable aluminum tablet stand. At just under $10, I was a little skeptical, but at that price I was also pretty open to giving it a shot just to see. … [Read more...]
I think this is more of just a product recommendation than full review today. I bought this Electronics Cleaning Brush by OXO a few weeks ago and forgot how handy its been in keeping things clean around here. In the past I had been using an old unused paint brush for cleaning out some of the nooks and crannies on my laptop and other devices. This Electronics Cleaning Brush by OXO is a much better option though. … [Read more...]
Snable Cable Manager and Mobile Device Stand Update. Just a quick update today. Below is our original post on the Snable Cable management tool, but recently we received final production versions now that they have been fully funded on Kickstarter. They work just as promised but just look a bit more polished and clean than the original sample we received. You can now grab your very own Snable in black or white. It's cool to see a product go from … [Read more...]
