White Tuxedo Monster DNA Headphones Review

  In the realm of headphones the quip, “It’s better to look good than to feel good” might well be rendered as “It’s better to look good than to sound good.”. In both cases, the statement is obviously nonsense. Just ask anyone with chronic inflammatory arthritis…  it doesn’t matter a bit what you look like [...]

MiPow Boom Bluetooth Speaker Review

We posted our review of the MiPow Boom mini the other day. (Read it.) The speaker is tiny but the sound is anything but tinny. I’m impressed by the sound such a small speaker is able to pump out and I still can’t believe that, after using the speaker pretty continually since we got here [...]

SLR 37mm Lens to iPhone 5 Adapter Kit

Even though I love them, I’ll be the first to admit that lens and other camera adapter equipment looks a little bizarre when mated to a smartphone.  In the day, your 35mm SLR camera was a big, bulky sucker.  It had heft, size, and throw-weight.  So when you hooked up big lenses to it, it [...]
