Fire Your Cameraman – Hire SWIVL
Think of Swivl as your own personal cameraman. You clip, or hang on to, the marker (which also has a built-in microphone) and the base station (where your camera or iPhone is mounted) will track your movement a full 360-degrees. The Swivl has many applications, but the one that seems the most fitting is for […]
Victorinox 1TB SSD Swiss Army Knife
Before I profess my love for the Victorinox SSD Swiss Army Knife… I have a long term relationship with my Swiss Army Signature Lite. I love my Signature Lite Pocket Knife because it is very small and lives on my keychain. It also packs some super useful items in it’s tiny form factor – a […]

WaterRower Rowing Machine
The holiday season always seems to add a few pounds to my midsection. Time to get back on the fitness equipment.
