Let’s face it. Working out is a chore. If not for the fact that exercising brings good benefits for your body we won’t even be bothered to stand up from our sofas. It’s a good thing that we can reduce the tedium of workouts by bringing our favorite tunes and listening to it while using the treadmill or lifting weights. But what will you do if your favorite workout routine is doing laps at the local YMCA? Swimming is a really good workout but it does get boring if you do lap after lap without some form of entertainment. [Read more…]

This Could Be The “IT” Lunch Box
Everyone’s more ecologically minded today. We’re more aware of the trash that we produce and dump on the environment. Many people are doing their best to reduce the trash they produce and will think of ways to achieve this. One of the ways we can actually reduce trash is by using reusable lunch boxes like the Ojue Lunch Box. [Read more…]
Demolish The Competition with The Razer Nostromo
Athletes rely on their immense talents to excel in the sports they participate in. These athletes practice and devote their time on the sport so that they can improve on their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses. But even the best athletes still need to rely on equipment so that they can perform at their optimum best. It’s the same thing with gamers. Hardcore gamers will invest lots of man hours playing a game so they can hone their skills but even then, good equipment will give them an advantage over their opponents. [Read more…]
AKG K3003 Headphones
Audiophiles have their particular standards when it comes to what captures their passion most. I have always loved music, and my entire life, there has always been music in the background. (Now, whether the music was imagined in my head or it was actually streaming through speakers of one kind or another is debatable.)
Recently, I have been introduced to audio equipment that upped the level of my listening. I am a far cry from being a hardcore audiophile – I wouldn’t even dare claim that I am one, but I now accept the need to shell out a few more bucks (okay, maybe more than a few bucks) to get really good sound out of headphones, earbuds, or speakers.
Then I saw the AKG K3003 Headphones on Colette. ((Source)) I should have known better than to allow myself to want a pair when I knew that the headphones are being sold by Colette, but hardheaded me, I checked it out anyway.
At first glance, once can’t deny that the headphones do look nice. Having a propensity for things that have a brushed steel finish, I don’t find much that is not to like with the AKG K3003 Headphones. These babies are handmade and were developed using new technology that improves the sound that comes out of them. The headphones are supposed to provide listeners with totally undistracted listening, thanks to “sealing out most ambient sounds”. That sounds like noise canceling earphones to me, yes? The AKG K3003 Headphones also has an in-line mic and volume control, so they can be used with your favorite mobile phone.
I think that the most interesting things about these earphones are the design details, though – brushed stainless housing, steel remote face, steel “Y” connector, rubberized upper cable, and cloth lower cable. And the box. Oh my, what a box!
All those things being considered, I still would say that I want one. That does not mean that I will get one, though. Not now. Not in the future. Not even if I won the lottery and had €1000 ($1187.71) to spare – because that is how much this thing costs!!! Oh, the dollar value is VAT exclusive, by the way, so at the end of the day, you need $1420.50. As much as I want a pair, I think Sennheiser is more than good enough for me.

A Bicycle Bell That Means To Be Heard
Bicycles nowadays are so high tech. You deal with different metal alloys for the frame, different technologies for the moving parts of the bicycle – even the seats and handlebars are all products of new technology. The only thing that seems to have been left behind has been the bicycle bell. That is until the Record Your Own Bicycle Bell. [Read more…]
A Wall Plug with USB Built In
Charging used to be so different before USB arrived. Your various gadgets all have their own chargers and each charger terminates with an A/C plug that you insert to your electrical socket. But post-USB, more and more devices are relying on the USB jack as the sole means of charging said devices. [Read more…]
A Remote Control That’s Magic!
Harry Potter changed young adult fiction when it came out. Let’s face it, JK Rowling may not be the most erudite writer on the planet, but she certainly has a great imagination – one that she successfully put on paper and has captured the imagination of both young and old alike. That’s quite an accomplishment, if you ask me. [Read more…]
Write with Metal Pens that don’t have ink
I always carry a pen with me. My usual habit is to stick a pen inside my messenger bag or my backpack so that when the need for a writing implement arises, I can just get the pen inside my bag. It’s my scout preparedness at work. But preparedness is one thing and actual things working quite another. More often than not, that standby pen that I place inside my bag won’t work when I need it. Oftentimes, it’s because the pen would inadvertently move around the bag and go upside down so that the ink will flow back up the shaft. What I get would be a pen that skips like hell. Other times, the ink will just completely dry up so what I have is mocking reminder that I brought a pen for nothing. [Read more…]
Flashy Road Safety with LED Tire Bike Lights
Biking is a very healthy pursuit. I won’t say that it’s a sport, even though it is. I just think that biking is more of a way of life. I know of many friends who have come to rely on their bike not just as something to get fit with during the weekends but as a reliable form of transportation that is environmentally friendly. With so many pros, many people should really examine how they can incorporate biking into the lives. [Read more…]
