BenchMade 1210 Pen Series Review

Several years ago, I reviewed the stainless steel BenchMade 1100 pen that I love and continue to use to this day. It is half medieval dagger, half fine writing instrument. The 1100 looks so weapon-like, I am afraid to take it with me through airport security screening; worried that some overeager TSA agent would confiscate it due to its appearance. The BenchMade ...

Miniot Cover for iPad 2

After the iPad 2 announcement, lots of companies starting announcing accessories for it.  Miniot, a Holland-based company that makes wooden cases for iPhones and iPods, announced a wooden cover for the iPad 2.  This cover is different from most boxlike, wooden cases for iPads.  The Miniot Cover for iPad 2 is a flexible screen cover that looks a lot like the Apple Smart Cover.  The case is made from a single piece of wood, and you can add a personalized engraving for free.  Unfortunately, there is no information to let us know if the Miniot cover will sleep/wake the iPad.  The Miniot cover will ship in March, and it will cost €50 (about $69).  You can sign up to be notified when it is released at the Miniot webpage. ...

iPad 2 – To case or not to case, that is the question

While I wait for my iPad 2 to be delivered, I thought I’d shop around for a case. I ordered one of the covers with it, but I may be carrying this iPad with me more than the original, so I will probably want to protect it a bit more. I happened upon a great article from ...

I’m not a gamer.  I don’t even play one on TV.  But I know what happens when your laptop’s processor gets cooked because the fans that come with it either don’t cool the device enough or just wear out.  It’s this Need For Speed, and gamers survive on it as much as they do Skittles and Mountain Dew.  I don’t get it, but the gamers in my life do, and the ...

Happy iPad 2 Day!

As you may have heard, today is the release day for the Apple iPad 2. Luckily, my husband, Butch, was already scheduled for vacation today, so he was kind enough to sacrifice half his day waiting in line at the local Apple store. Butch told me that the Apple employees provided coffee, water, and even lollipops for the people who were waiting. After I picked up my daughter from school, I joined him on line for the last 45 minutes of the wait. There was a large crowd, and we were about 40th in line. Everybody there was friendly and excited, so the wait wasn't so bad. ...
