Guardline Wireless Driveway Alarm System Review
The Guardline Wireless Driveway Alarm ($99) (motion sensor/detector) is one of my favorite gadgets. I have a few of the extra motion sensors, all programed with different chime/sounds, strategically placed around our home. I sleep deeper knowing that no one has walked on to our property. Not sure why, but I am wired a bit like…

Evoplus Q9 USB Car Charger And Bluetooth Headset Review
Every now and then a product mashup comes along that just makes sense. On paper, the Evoplus Q9 fits that bill. This 2-in-1 gadget plugs into the cars 12V cigarette lighter port and provides two USB charging ports. One port charges at 1-amp and the other at 2.1-amps (5V).

Cazbi iPad Air Bluetooth Keyboard Case Review
In the sea of iPad Bluetooth keyboard cases few stand out as cool or functional, and even fewer as cool AND functional. I admit, I experimented with a number of iPad keyboard cases over the years, but my most recent came the closest to what I've been looking for. A friend recommended the Cazbi as…
