Reginald Transfer Crumpler Bag
Review



Sometimes it is nice to keep things simple, and that is my feeling on laptop bags. I don’t like bags with all the bells and whistles and pockets that make the bag bulky and heavy when filled. I like the simple laptop bags. The Reginald Transfer by Crumpler is one of these bags.

GrooveAtomic: High performance earphones (pink)
Review


Before I start this review I should say that I’ve been quite satisfied with the stock headphones that were shipped with my iPod nano.

Laplogic G800 Aerogel Extreme
Review



My Macbook Pro gets hot. Too hot to sit in my lap with extended usage. One of the ways to combat this is to use smcFanControl to adjust the speed of the internal fans to help cool the laptop. But even then, I only trust setting the fans so high before I start worrying about damaging the computer. And that’s where the LapLogic G800 with Aerogel comes in.

Uncle Joe



Last week my uncle made the switch from his Windows computer to a MacBook. Of course, I am his “guide” as he makes the switch and I made him a cheat sheet for some of the common questions he’ll have as he works. When I was done, I thought, “Why not make this a Macspiration article?” So here is the cheat sheet I made him in all of its simple glory.
