D-Link Viper DSL-2900AL Review: Not Your Average Router
The wireless router is the centre of most peoples home networking, but the D-Link DSL-2900AL sets out to do much more than simply share your internet connection. The previous model (the DSL-2890AL) had a glossy black finish, which may look flashy for a few seconds before attracting copious amounts of dust and scratching beyond belief.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or Note Edge: Which Would You Rather?
There are plenty of reasons to consider a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, starting with its beautiful 5.5″ AMOLED screen, 16MP rear camera, 3GB RAM with 32GB internal memory, quad-core processor, 4.4 Android KitKat, and that clever S Pen. But what about the Galaxy Note Edge? It sports nearly the same specifications while adding an extra beveled interactive and informative screen.

I recently began a series of posts about covering and reviewing items that help me as I begin the next stage of my life.

Grim Fandango Remastered Review – Bringing the Joy of Death Back into Style
It is hard to separate the nostalgic of replaying Grim Fandango for the first time since sitting in front of a big old 17″ CRT in 1999 from the reality of playing it on a 5″ Playstation Vita screen in 2015. But regardless, a great game remains a great game – and Grim Fandango is a great game.
Oort LED Review: Connected Mood Lighting with Benefits
While some parts of the “connected home” idea are natural fits for new technology (like smart thermostats and locks), I have been a huge skeptic of the idea that EVERYTHING should become smarter.

Kandinsky Effect Shines on Somnambulist
It’s been two years since I reviewed the album Synesthesia by The Kandinsky Effect, heaping praise on it saying “musicianship and communication throughout are stellar, there are free elements without being too far ‘out’, and the trio keeps the modern elements at the forefront without sacrificing the jazz foundation.” Now they are back with Somnambulist … and it’s even better.

5 Reasons I Love the Amazon Echo, and 3 Reasons It Might Not Be for You!
When Amazon announced the Echo connected speaker, there was speculation about how it would work in terms of integrating with Amazon and the larger web.

It is ironic that I started playing Grim Fandango as I was writing up this review. Why? Because it allowed me to compare this game with one of the absolute classics of the genre.

One truth in my world is that I am always up for a new pocket knife or flashlight. Maybe because I spend so much times in the woods, or maybe it is just a man thing.
