When I was shopping around for my first portable media player I was only considering two brands. The obvious one was Apple because the iPod brought status symbol coolness with its device (and who wouldn’t want to get a status symbol in these image-conscious times?). The other choice was an iRiver media player because of the great reviews it was getting regarding its far superior audio quality compared to the iPod. I eventually settled for an iPod because iRivers were quite hard to find at that time but the iRiver quality is something I’ve never forgotten to this day. [Read more…]

Glasses Designed To Reduce Eye Fatigue
My work is one hundred percent reliant on a computer. What this means is that I spend an inordinate amount of time facing a monitor, typing away. I usually clock in 12 hour days so by the end of the day, I’m really tired and my eyes are so fatigued I sometimes have difficulty focusing on objects. [Read more…]

A Downhill Bike You Can Carry On Your Back
Going on trails is a favorite pastime and physical activity of many people. Walking around trails is great exercise and also a great way of being with nature. There are people who bike these trails as a way of exercising and giving their biking skills a test, which can be quite challenging for some trails. But with trails you just can’t bike all throughout the trip. There are certain sections where a bike may not be able to go through it. When this happens you need to walk in order to traverse the trail, but this becomes difficult if you have to guide your bike through the difficult parts of the trail.
What you need if you trail bike is to have a bike that is very lightweight and allow you a level of freedom that pushing along an old bike won’t give. It’s a good thing that there are companies that continue their research and development to address requests coming from consumers. One of the best innovations in trail walking and biking is the Bergmonch Scooter. This new product is one of those hybrid style vehicles that carry the qualities of two products. The Bergmonch Scooter is actually a cross between a mountain bike and a downhill bike. This bike makes it easy to bike around trails, which people love, and going downhill, which most bikers actually get a thrill from. When you look at the Bergmonch scooter you’ll immediately notice how high the front is compared to traditional mountain bikes. The proportions are intended because downhill biking always require that the front is higher so that on a slope the biker won’t feel like he’s going to fall.
But before you go downhill you have to go uphill first. The Bergmonch Scooter can actually be folded and be attached to your backpack so you can go uphill more easily.
HI-Fi Speakers From a Brand Favorite
Computer speakers are usually one of the PC components that are not usually given much attention. It’s a peripheral so as peripherals go, it is set aside for other upgrades the computer owner feels are more essential. But if you use your computer a lot and also use it for entertainment purposes like listening to music or watching videos then a good pair of speakers is essential. [Read more…]
Bicycle Wine Rack for the Eco-Friendly Wine Lover
What’s your favorite mode of getting around? What’s your favorite (alcoholic) beverage? If your idea of relaxation is to take your bicycle out into the countryside (or the park, if you are an urban dweller) and enjoy a nice bottle of wine some time during the day, then you are in luck. I just discovered this little Etsy shop selling a handmade wine rack designed especially for those who like to spin their bike’s wheels. ((Etsy Shop))
Jesse from Montreal, Canada, obviously has a penchant for carrying a bottle of wine while on his bike and has come up with the Bicycle Wine Rack to solve the problem of keeping that bottle intact without getting in the way. The Bicycle Wine Rack is made of leather and some antique brass fasteners.
Those of you who pay particular attention to aesthetics will be interested to know that the leather is oil-treated and vegetable-tanned, meaning that it will become even more beautiful with age and use. And as you continue with your regular forays into the great outdoors on your bike, your Bicycle Wine Rack will only benefit from it.
As for functionality, the image may send across the message that the Bicycle Wine Rack is not a very secure contraption. However, there are hidden clamping mechanisms put in place by the maker, ensuring that your wine bottle has never been more secure! If you need more proof, here is a video showing the Bicycle Wine Rack in action.
I am not so sure about using the frisbee as a wine glass, but whatever floats your boat!
I know the Bicycle Wine Rack is not an electronic gadget, but it is a perfect accessory for someone who is always on his/her bike. With all the accessories that you get for your mp3 players and phones (not to mention tablets and other gadgets you take with you on the go), why not make sure that you always have space for a bottle of wine? After all, you never know when it will come in handy.
Other important details…the Bicycle Wine Rack will only fit bikes that have a 1-inch frame, so if your bike is special, then you might have to get an equally special rack made. Also, the racks have been rather popular so the newer units are taking longer to ship.
