Audio Mixer
A lot of my friends were very disappointed in me when I finally switched over to digital gear. After all, they are all garage rock snobs. They believe in using a low fidelity, analog audio mixer, and tape recording gear whenever possible. To me, it just seems ridiculous. Having a good audio mixer, a digital audio recorder, And the latest studio gear is something that every musician wants. If you want to have a rough and raw sound, you can do that on digital gear just as easily as with analog gear. It is not like you have to make everything sound processed if you do not want to. Still, Click to Read More

Communication System
Every business needs some sort of communication system, but most don’t consider how important this can be to young families as well. When the kids grow up and move on, you can always call them, but you have to hope that you taught them well enough to know how to take care of themselves. However, before they leave home, you have to think of a way to be sure they are safe when they can’t be with you, and that you can reach them when you need them. The most obvious type of communication system for a family would be cell phones. But these can be dangerous in the hands of a child, as Click to Read More
Wall Speaker
A very long time ago, my husband bought a surround sound system. We’ve had the same system for a long time because it works so well. To this day he is happy with what we have, so we have made no plans to upgrade, but something that happened the other day has made me think otherwise. Because these speakers are so old they are very bulky. As I was sitting on my couch the other day the wall speaker above me fell down and missed my head by a few inches. It’s not a large speaker, but it’s heavy enough cause some damage. I did not put the wall speaker back up after that. It is Click to Read More

I have long been an advocate of family vacations. I try to encourage the families that I work with, to take some type of vacation together as often as they can. I am a social worker. I work in the area of children’s mental health. So often families that are dealing with mental health issues put all their time and energy into treating the mental illness that they do not focus on doing regular family things. Many of the families do not have a great deal of financial resources, but I try to help them discover inexpensive ways to travel. We look for deals on hotel rooms, we borrow camping Click to Read More
Laser Pointer
Back even a couple of years ago, laser optics used to be considered extremely high tech. The most basic LED laser pointer ran something like 90 dollars, and no one got than except for the biggest geeks and people with a lot of money to throw around. Nowadays, however, things have changed quite a bit. The laser pointer has really come into its own. You can buy them at drugstores, in fact. I’ve even seen them at the counters of gas stations, selling for a few bucks a piece. Nonetheless, it might make sense to invest in a quality product. If you are a teacher, someone who has to give Click to Read More

Night Vision Camera
Ever since I was a little kid, I loved playing with toys. This is not uncommon. As any fool can see, every child enjoys toys and cool things to play with. But, this never changed for me. Sure, the toys became a bit more expensive, but I still like to play whenever I get the chance. It’s just simple fun. While I enjoyed G.I. Joe and Thundercats back in the day, now it’s knives, tactical flashlights, surveillance cameras, lock pick sets, and even a night vision camera or set of goggles. This stuff is ideal for the modern-day male. Now, if I could only get the prices to drop on Click to Read More

Americans love our entertainment! I say our, because I am one of the 300 million. We want the biggest, loudest, clearest, and most updated entertainment centers we can afford. It’s only natural. Movies and television are a large part of our life away from the office. It’s one of our primary ways to wind down. Now, I’m not saying that lounging in front of a wide-screen is healthy or comparable to going on a hike through the mountains, but regardless we love it. And you can bet that this epidemic isn’t going to cease. We will continue to enjoy films and veg-out with Click to Read More
Cheap mp3 Players: The Coolest Choice
Oh yeah, I can still recall those days back in the 80s when I carried around my Walkman everywhere. Yeah, those were the good old days. Or at least that’s what folks tell me. I was in elementary school at the time and things were okay I guess. I don’t think I’d put the whole “good old days” spin on it. I prefer the present myself. Regardless, there is one thing I can tell you about the 80s: Walkman’s were the BOMB! I think 99 percent of American children were toting these babies around like a precious stone or something. You were really considered cool if Click to Read More
