Do you like hiking? How about any other outdoor exercise? Then you might have experienced the unfortunate feeling of running out of water just when you need it. Nalgene makes fantastic water bottles that carry enough water, and are themselves strong enough, to fuel almost any type of outdoor exercise.For years I used to take old gatorade or pop bottle full of water with me on my runs. Most of t...

I bought the Razr a year ago and have used it many times daily. It has traveled with me far and wide and been through its own ordeals. Previously, I have owned 3 other phones.Given its slim profile and very wide front/back you'd imagine it was very fragile. This is not the case. I have dropped it too many times to count and usually on concrete. It has been through the washing machine. Despi...

One of which was a cutlery set.

They always have flowing i...

Gaming mice aren't for everyone. They are typically more expensive than regular ones but they come with a host of useful features. Logitech's line of G(x) mice are built circuits up for gaming.Most noteably, the G5 is wired. For me this is a good thing because I save money on batteries. The trade off is both a restriction on range (if you like controling your PC from afar) and a wire th...

Like many avid computer geeks I have too many wires! Currently, the wireless printer market is a bit small and choices are limited. Lexmark is know as an above-average printer manufacturer and the x4580 exceeed their reputation.Besides the cool look and very functional control panel the printer performs rather well. It can churn out any of my approximately 50 page journals in a few minutes with...
