Gadgets sure are fun, aren’t they? Until they run out of battery power. Then they’re actually some of the lamest things you can possibly own. Think about it!

Hey, Derrick, you wouldn’t happen to have another Xtreme 6′ HDMI Cable, would you? You know, one of the ones that consolidates video, audio, and data streams. “Yeah, I bought a two-pack. Why?” Oh, I was just asking because I kinda cut the other one in half… “What?” Well, you know how I get when […]

Okay, yes: this High Sierra Diplomat Lumbar Pack is a fanny pack, but with mesh water bottle pockets, two BPA-free and shatter-resistant water bottles, a compartment with a key fob, and another for a CD/MP3 player with a PVC headphone port, it’s pretty much the coolest, fanciest fanny pack ever.

I’m Pretty Sure It’s Around Here Somewhere For want of a flashlight, the kingdom was lost… Sure is dark out here by the side of the highway. Where would I be without the Life+Gear Auto Glow Rechargeable Flashlight to help me find the handle of my tire jack? Of course, first I’ll have to use […]
