Do you have a beach vacation planned for the holiday season, and want to make sure you get the best snorkeling and surfing pics possible? Or are you simply looking for a great gift for your budding photographer? Either way, I cover some of the Best Waterproof Cameras for 2016 in my latest article.

Have you been hankering to gaze up at the night sky and search for shooting stars, heavenly bodies, and possibly alien life that will take you away from this crazy world? Well, if you see a telescope in your future, but you don’t know anything about them, let me give you five tips for buying your first telescope.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a versatile and all-encompassing system that can help you intelligently monitor all sorts of aspects of your living spaces, from security to health and even the weather outside, then you’ll want to take a look at Netatmo for your Smart Home.

It’s that time of year again. Time to start figuring out what gifts you’re going to buy everyone this holiday season. If you’ve got a technology lover on your shopping list this year, you can’t go wrong with putting a little virtual reality gear under the holiday tree. There are more than a few options out there, though, so I’m going to let you know why the Oculus Rift is quite possibly the coolest tech gift this season.

Smart Homes are becoming easier than ever to set up, thanks to the different platforms available that allow all your connected devices to work and communicate together. In previous blogs of this Smart Home System Series, I looked at other home automation frameworks, such as Apple HomeKit and Z-Wave. In this edition, I’ll tell you all about Google’s smart home tech, and what Works with Nest.

Altec Lansing Bluetooth speakers have long lasting batteries, great sound, and features that make them perfect for your next outdoor adventure.

Our homes are becoming more and more futuristic. Thanks to the so-called “Internet of Things,” where our everyday and mundane household objects get new functionality with a connection to the online world, we are entering a new world of “Smart” homes. This Smart Home concept allows us to monitor, control and discover our living spaces in completely different, or fun new ways, from practically anywhere. As the first part in a series on Smart Home tech, I’m going to fill you in on the Philips Hue and Lighting Control system.

I’ve wanted to purchase a portable Bluetooth speaker for some time now. An iPhone’s speaker just isn’t good enough for when you want to blast some favourite tunes at the beach, or backyard barbecue. And there is seemingly no end to the options available for portable wireless speakers (and at varying price points), which does make choosing something feel a bit daunting. So I was stoked when I was asked to test out and review the affordably priced 808 Audio NRGGLO Wireless Speaker, to see if something so modestly priced can deliver the kind of sound I need.

Summer is almost over, and soon it will be time to get back in the classroom, and back to hitting the books. But you’re going to need a lot more than just books to make it through the semester, so I’ve put together a handy checklist of what you’re going to want to have to get geared up, and packed up for back to school.

Lighting isn’t very interesting, is it? I mean, other than different fixtures, the lights themselves are pretty unremarkable, right? Flick a switch, and on comes the light. Flick it again, and off it goes. I mean, totally yawn, huh? Well, that is unless you happen to have invested in the new Philips Hue personal lighting system, which allows for quite the personalization, versatility and convenience. Want to see how innovative lighting can be? Read on for my preview of the Philips Hue lighting system.
