It's time to sit back and fire up the video game console! Today I review the Clutch Chairz Crank Charlie Gaming Chair. Of course, if you'd rather use it as an office chair for working from home, reading your favourite novel, or just plain ol' sitting, well that's OK too. If you'd like to discover a chair that's comfortable, attractive, and as strong as an OX, then click on through & learn all about the Crank. It may sound obstreperous, but it's actually a real pleasure!

When it comes to big phones, or “phablets” as some still term them, Samsung’s Note line was the catalyst four years ago. The Galaxy Note7 is a culmination in two strides that borrows from other Samsung devices, yet manages to look different enough to stand out. The result is one of the best all-around handsets to come to market this year.

When you think of video gaming, Sennheiser isn't a company that comes immediately to mind. When it comes to headphones and audio though, it should be. Sennheiser's been taking a hard look at taking over the gaming headset market, with recent entries into the market like the Game One Headset. With a very minimalistic approach geared more toward longevity, comfort and performance, the Game One is a headset you definitely shouldn't overlook.

Chances are, any time you visit a playground, your child has just as much fun playing in the sand as he does on the swings or slide. Having a sandbox at home can provide hours of fun, and will come in handy for your garden once your child grows out of it.

My daughter is now 2 and we’ve become very “stroller optional” the last few months. In fact, my mother has our jogging stroller now...

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.

Samsung doesn’t give up easily, it seems. The company has repeatedly tried and tried again to create a winner in the wearables category, only to achieve mixed results. The Gear Fit2 isn’t a smartwatch, but rather a fitness band that can sort of act like a smartwatch because of its large screen and litany of features.

Samsung has released a few new products today, and among them is the Gear 360, a standalone camera that can shoot photos and video in 360-degrees. This device, with its spherical form factor, has two lenses that capture 180-degrees on each side, with software stitching them together for a full image.

Jam Audio has released three new Bluetooth speakers, the Heavy Metal, the Alloy, and the Trance Plus, all with Lithium Ion batteries boasting upwards of 10 hours of listening per charge. They look great and are small enough to integrate into any room. Let’s dig a little deeper and see how they perform.

Solar technology has come a long way and one of the companies pushing innovation in the consumer space is Goal Zero. A great example of leveraging the sun in a practical device is Goal Zero’s Torch 250 Solar LED flashlight, which I took with me on my last camping trip.
