We all know that you can’t talk on your cell phone anymore while driving, right? And in New York, they just passed a law stating you cannot text message while driving, either. Shouldn’t have this come before the talking law? Well, we can save that discussion for another time. Anywho, Microsoft has a product out [...]

The Vehicle Safeguard Video Recording Camera easily mounts onto your dashboard, and faces out the windshield, taking in every bit of video as you see it from [...]

If you are like me, you probably think that traditional bumper stickers are tacky. After a few days of planting the adhesive wonder onto the body of your car, you may tend to get that moment of regret, and then find yourself in the garage at 2:00 am with a bottle of Goo-be-gone and a [...]

I do a lot of road travel for work, and I am currently in the market for a quality GPS navigation system. I am looking for a better-than-decent model, while at the same time spending as little as possible. Factory installed options are out the window, for they cost well over $1,000 and I can’t [...]

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I decided this year to begin my online browsing for a gift for my lovely wife from the kids a little earlier. After weeding through several web pages offering something “different” for moms this year, I came to the realization that the marketplace for Mother’s Day is beginning to look [...]
