In September of 2010 I introduced you to the Nokero Solar Light Bulb. Now it’s time to give you my thoughts after months of strict scientific testing. Ok, so it was not very scientific.

Roughly six months ago I got wind that a new personal size solar charger was hitting the market soon. The marketing material made some very bold claims at which most people in the gadget world scoffed at. Having been a little disappointed in my Solio, I did not hold out much hope, but signed up to be alerted [...]

I bought the Embassy Pen on sort of an impulse. I had been considering a “tactical pen” for some time, but it was not really high on my list of things to buy. After playing with one for the past couple of weeks I really like the concept. If you like survival type gadgets and [...]
