Detail Bags Creates Custom Solutions for Company Bag Branding

Detail Bags, Corporate Solutions by Skooba Design

I don’t know how many times I have wished that I could create a laptop bag from my own specifications — one that would have the layout and organizational panels I needed (or wanted), and that would be made from the materials of my choosing; having a discreet Gear Diary logo on there somewhere would [...]

DynoMighty Artist Collective: Create Your Own Mighty Wallet Design

A couple of years back, our own Carly Z reviewed the Mighty Wallet, a thin, “green”, micro-fiber wallet that she felt was a good alternative to the usual run of the skins of various animals folded into a wallet-shape.  (I use a Vaja leather wallet which I love, but hardly ever take out of my [...]

MacGyver

I love to find tips and tricks that make my life easier, and that’s why a recent post on Lifehacker caught my eye … the title might have had something to do with it, too, as I do love MacGuyer-esque fixes. Three of my favorites include how you can: Make Perfect Pancakes with a Squeeze [...]

Rap Genius Takes the Guesswork out of Deciphering Lyrics

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely heard either the NSFW or the terrestrial-radio friendly clean version of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis‘s hit song, Thrift Shop.  But unless you’ve got a finely tuned rap vocabulary, there are probably some lyrics in that song (and every other rap song for that matter) that have left [...]

MightyMega Launches to Share All the Best in Sci Fi and Geekery

I am a self-professed sci-fi geek. Sarah is … not. She tries for my sake to be supportive of my favorite shows, but she just doesn’t understand it. And there have been many road trips where I’ve droned on and on about Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek, and Sarah has nearly driven off the road [...]

ArchetypeMe Makes Finding New Content Fun and Personal

Finding new things to read online can be remarkably difficult. Everyone has their “usual” websites, via RSS, or Flipboard, or Twitter.

Compare Moving Companies with Web Site Unpakt

Moving is, to put it mildly, a pain in the butt.  Even when I was a student at UC Santa Cruz, by the time I was a senior I had to make six trips to move all my stuff in my car.  And it only got worse from there.  But what do you do?  You [...]
