The Ladybug Cometh
Review
I gotta tell you right now I was sure I wasn’t going to like this. Too small. Gimmicky. Looks like all plastic. Bass woofer in the rear??? Ha! I wasn’t impressed, yet, with the fact that this product won the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award in November.
Ped3 iPhone Stand
Review
What holds your iPhone very safely and rotates 360 degrees? The Ped3. I had meant to do a video review of the Ped3 iPhone rotating stand but this product is too cool that I have to at least get a written review posted for it!
Snow? It All Depends …

No SuperDrive, No Problem
The lack of a SuperDrive on the Macbook Air has turned many people I’ve talked to about the computer off from ever buying one.

Wacom Intuos3 Tablet
Review
Recently I reviewed, and loved, the Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet. For those that want a more professional tablet, the Intuos3 is the model you want. I’ve been using the Graphire line of tablets for years and never new what I was missing until I tried the Intuos tablet.

Read MoreMYOB AccountEdge – Accounting Software for Macintosh
Review
Since MYOB has a new version of the software, I thought this would be a good time to take a look at what other accounting programs for Macintosh were being offered. I was surprised to see three other robust programs available. I know that MYOB maintains a commitment to continue to develop for the Macintosh platform.
Timeline 2.0
Review
Creating an illustrated timeline on your computer, or even by hand, can be a very time consuming process. Timeline, by Bee Documents is a program that aims to simplify this process and save you a lot of time. (No pun intended.)
Bamboo Fun
Review
When I think drawing tablets, I think Wacom. I have been using the Graphire series of tablets for many years. This past fall Wacom replaced the Graphire tablet line with the Bamboo Fun line of tablets. (The Graphire BT, or Bluetooth, is still made). Before trying the Bamboo Fun tablet I expected the same user experience in a different package. I was wrong.
