My quick review of Mountain Lion
Everyone else seems to be giving there two cents on Mountain Lion. Mine won’t be over 26,000 words, but here’s a couple things I’ve found. Overall, Mountain Lion is MUCH faster than any previous OS. I can’t describe what it is, but over really it just feels like my Mac (Macbook Air) was given shot [...]
Nest Review: Hot or Cold?
Let my start my review of the Nest Thermostat by saying that I think it is an incredible product. They’ve taken a product that I would never, ever think twice about and made me want to spend $250 on it. That takes some sizzle. The marketing and product are amazing, however it didn’t work out [...]
iPad Bed Readers – What’s wrong with America?
I first thought this was a joke. But no, this iPad bed reader is a real Kickstarter project. Fellow bed-loving iPad lovers have pledged over $30,000 to this. Wow.

My Favorite Travel Accessory
My favorite travel accessory may surprise you. It’s not a MacBook Air, a Mophie Battery Charger or even earplugs. It’s the Jawbone Jambox. I love music and it’s a shame to miss out on it during a trip. The Jambox has an incredible battery (it last for about a week with regular use) and really good [...]
Cool Product Alert: The Fitbit Aria Wireless Scale
I’ve been a huge FitBit fan for a long time now. For those of your not familiar with the FitBit, it wirelessly tracks your activity throughout the day (and even your sleep at night).

Just look at it. Who thought a thermostat could be beautiful. I’ll be reviewing it over the next couple of days to see [...]
