NexStar 2.5″ External Hard Drive Enclosure
I needed to replace the old 320G drive in my MacBook Pro with a larger drive, at least 500G. I ordered a new drive, and it arrived a few days later. As always it was a cinch to install in the MacBook. But now I had a perfectly good 320G…»

Pelican i1015 Waterproof iPhone Case
I like to take my iPhone with me when out kayaking, sailing, or running around the harbor in our Boston Whaler. A cell phone doesn’t take the place of a VHF radio for marine emergencies, and I always bring my handheld VHF radio, too. But the…»

Neodymium Magnetic Hooks
I had never even heard of neodymium magnets until I went looking for some strong refrigerator-hook type magnets. I’m always wanting to hang things on the side of my refrigerator: potholders and mitts, a notepad for shopping lists, scissors, and…»

I Can See My Clock At Night!
My old alarm clock fell off the nightstand and bounced off the windowsill a few too many times. The outer case had cracked open, and the buttons to set the time and alarm were sticking and inoperable. My favorite thing about my old alarm…»

SimpleHuman Grocery Bag Holder
My old fabric grocery bag holder was coming apart at the seams, and the elastic at both ends was shot. eBay has a lot of those fabric bag holders, and I considered getting another one of those for a few bucks, but I’m not real crazy about the…»

I bought the Green Toys Eco-Friendly Fire Truck for my grandson for his first birthday. His eyes got as big as saucers when he saw it! I like it because it’s very sturdy. My grandson is a strong little guy, and he’s pretty good at bashing…»

All Lasagna Pans Are Wrong…. Or Is It Just Me?
I’ve been making lasagna more often of late…. My friends and family love my lasagna — and a big pan of lasagna makes it so easy to feed a crowd. When I make lasagna, I generally make two pans; I cook one right away for eating, and I stick…»

Marine Emergency & Safety Whistles
When we go out in one of our small boats, my husband’s “small boat toolkit” includes a tiny little plastic whistle that counts as the Coast Guard-required “noise making device.” So we typically don’t bring an air horn or any other type of horn…»

Herm Sprenger Prong Collar
My large main dog, Libby, is about 85 pounds, and as strong as an ox. I’ve taken her to obedience school, but I clearly haven’t worked with her enough to distraction-proof her. She’ll walk on a loose leash very nicely when there are no…»

I’ve been using dual monitors for many years — since around 1990 or so. My need for screen real estate has continually increased, to the point that I recently went to a dual 22″ system. I have two 22″ Acer widescreen monitors on my desktop…»

Cuisinart DCC-2600 14-Cup Coffeemaker
I love my Cuisinart coffeemaker! I used to love my Braun, until it had a meltdown and nearly set my house on fire. It turned out to be under a recall from Braun, but their solution was to have me send it back, and they would repair or replace it…»

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 Digital Camera
When the zoom feature on my old digital camera started malfunctioning, I decided to buy myself a new one. On my previous camera, I had an optical zoom up to 7x, but because the lens needs to be bigger for that amount of zoom, the camera was on…»

High Sierra Impact Backpack
My husband and I recently went to the Peace River Arts Festival. It’s held in Laishley Park downtown, where dogs are welcome, so we brought both of our dogs. I realized I really needed a small daypack-style backpack that I can use instead of…»
