Stor-More Key Safe Brings New Twist On Leaving Keys
It is common practice for people to leave a key or garage door opener hidden somewhere near their house. Maybe this just happens while on a trip so someone can feed the pets and water the plants, or maybe there is always one hidden. Either situation brings plenty of security issues. Whether the keys are [...]
Lumi Wine Wall Looks to Upcycle Used Wine Casks with Kickstarter Campaign
I’ve got a fairly decent size wine collection, but I wouldn’t call what I do with my bottles “cellaring.” That implies that I’m intentionally saving it for a future date when the wine has matured or perhaps become more valuable. The hundred or so bottles of good juice that are in various racks and shelves [...]
Head Over Heels for the Just Mobile HeadStand
Don’t let this happen to you… “Elana do you know where the Harman Karden NC headphones I’m reviewing are?” “Where did you last use them?” “If I knew that I wouldn’t be searching for them… Oh, got ‘em!” “Where were they? Buried under the pile on your desk?” Yes, there is an advantage to keeping [...]
BBQ Dragon – the Barbecue & Fire Supercharger!
Though it is May here in Texas, the temperatures have (miraculously) yet to regularly pop up above 90 degrees. But still: it’s May. And in Texas in the Spring and Summer (and Fall, for that matter), that means a whole lotta folks cooking outdoors on their hand grills. And unless you have a gas-powered grill [...]
Travel HoodiePillow Hooded Travel Pillow Review
Welcome to part two of my two-part hooded pillow review humiliation. In Part One I came clean and related that, while still watching the good folks from HoodiePillow make their pitch on SharkTank, I ordered a hooded pillow case from them.

Pizza Hut Delivery Application Released on Xbox 360 … Really?
I recently saw an article from USA Today on a new “Create Your Pizza App” Xbox 360 app that lets users order food from Pizza Hut right from this game console. This free app includes the full Pizza Hut menu. The app caught my interest while the justification for the app was laughable to me. [...]
HoodiePillow, a SharkTank Product Pitch Product Review
I was watching SharkTank a few months ago when I saw the HoodiePillow pitch. I laughed … out loud. In part because the product sounds so silly, but also because we were pitched this product or something like it quite some time ago, and I thought it was a joke. What’s a HoodiePillow you ask? [...]
FRODO Brings Home Automation to Camper Trailers and Other Mobile Homes
You probably have a certain level of automation that you enjoy in your home already; perhaps you use a smart thermostat, or maybe you have a home alarm. The cool thing about home monitoring and automation is that it doesn’t matter how old your home is, there are products that can be added at any [...]
Vejibags Keep Your Greens Greener
Now that April showers are giving way to May flowers, there are also plenty of wonderful greens coming up in farms and gardens. My family has been members of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share for years. If you’ve never participated in a CSA, basically the deal is that you pay a farmer in advance [...]

Now Harman Kardon has released two new audio/video received that offer AirPlay and network connectivity. Both the Harman Kardon AVR 2700 and AVR 3700 feature Apple AirPlay and 4K video [...]

That’s where the Eton ZoneGuard Weather Radio aims to help. There are a few things that make this radio sound like an invaluable accessory: One, [...]
The Invisiplug 6 Outlet Power Strip Hides an Otherwise Ugly Necessity
I dislike the way the typical power strip will stick out like from under or behind my furnishings like a sore thumb. Even worse, I dislike the way power strips look when lying in plain site on top of an area rug. Because most power strips are a stark ugly white or boring beige, unless [...]
