Osprey Transporter Pack

March 15, 2011 Stuart

Three days before a week-long trip, I realized that I needed a new duffel bag. I’m not a fan of rolling carry-on luggage, and so I was looking for a soft-shell bag. Osprey’s Transporter series 46-liter pack seems to fit the bill. The Transporter 46 is spacious and with generously large handles while being small enough […]

Oxo “Pour & Store” Watering Can

January 21, 2011 Stuart

I’m in need of a small watering can for indoor use, but finding one of a suitable size locally has proved to be quite difficult in the dead of winter. These Oxo Good Grip “Pour & Store” watering cans seem to be decent enough – they’re simple, compact, and look nice & tidy. The 1-quart model is […]

How About Some “Sticky Ass Glue”?

January 19, 2011 Stuart

Sticky Ass Glue is a waterproof moisture-cure polyurethane adhesive that looks to have few limitations. From the technical details, it appears that the glue is as stubbornly strong as the “Ass” part of its name suggests. SAG’s development story is actually a pretty interesting one: four fathers ran into trouble with a backyard playset assembly and were disappointed with […]

Why I Keep an Avalanche Shovel in My Car

January 5, 2011 Stuart

That’s right, I keep an avalanche shovel in my car. More specifically, it’s a Voile Telepro T6. You see, I have a habit of breaking the plastic “emergency collapsible snow shovels” marketed by auto accessory makers. The last thing I want to hear when digging out my car when I’m on the go is “SNAP”.

Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Price Drop

December 15, 2010 Stuart

The Timbuk2 “Racing Stripe” messenger bag that I ordered and posted about last month has dropped in price again to $50. I’m really liking this bag thus far, although it’s sometimes a bit too large for my needs. The price was right – I paid $55, compared to the $100-120 Timbuk2 charges for their other […]

Do You Have a Good Snow Brush & Ice Scraper for Your Car?

November 22, 2010 Stuart

Winter time is fast approaching, so it’s about time to check out your car snow-clearing gear. Inspect your ice scraper blade for dings and dents, and your brush for signs of wear and tear. The last thing you want is to have to buy a new snow brush after the first or second big snow. In the past […]

Never Complain About Blurry Travel Photos Again

November 16, 2010 Stuart

Even with optical and image stabilization capabilities built into compact digital point & shoot cameras and many SLR lenses these days, there are times when it just isn’t enough. Can you hand-hold a P&S camera – or any camera for that matter, stead for 5 seconds as you try to photograph fireworks? I don’t think so. When travelling, […]

Finally Ordered a Timbuk2 Messenger Bag!

November 15, 2010 Stuart

I’ve been wanting to buy a Timbuk2 messenger bag for the longest time. I didn’t really need one, but I wanted one.

HUGE Coupons & Price Drops on Canon Cameras & Others!

November 13, 2010 Stuart

Over at Amazon, they’re slashing prices on Canon cameras like it’s nobody’s business. A little while ago I saw a price-drop on the Canon S95 from $400 to $386.
