Keep Love Close at all Times with Redbubble

by Tazim Damji

redbubble iphone case

It's easy to keep love close to you at all times when you're reminded of it, as it hugs your cellphone. Redbubble has cases for your gadgets, t-shirts (and other garments), tote bags and more to help you keep images and messages that speak to you close-by. Just because it isn't Valentine's Day doesn't mean you shouldn't tell your friends and family how much you love them. The Wednesday Dream - Chasing Planes is the perfect way to do so. I have a thing for hot air balloons and just love how the ...

Ready to Go: Portable Travel-Ready Belkin Fusive Speaker (with Giveaway Canada only)

by Tazim Damji

Belkin Fusive Speaker

I'm planning a quest to visit every National Park and National Historic Site in Canada, starting next month. It'll take me upwards of 10 years, given the size of the country and the remote location of some of the sites/parks. I'm saying this because I'll definitely be needing some music with me to listen to in hotel rooms when I travel! The Belkin Fusive Bluetooth Speaker is really light, comes with its own carrying case and puts out great sound. It's a clear winner when it comes to portability ...

More Juice, Less Waste, Better Taste

by Tazim Damji

Juicepresso

The first juicer I ever used was a screaming behemoth, by the time I lifted it onto the counter, had my veg ready and flicked the switch, I was already a bit daunted. And then, what seemed like a dozen carrots later, as I enjoyed my half-cup of juice, I tried to smile and really enjoy it, because I knew I would be spending the next half-hour cleaning up the mess I’d made procuring it. I’m sorry giant juicer—it just didn’t work out. I returned it, and while I still really liked the idea of ...

BlueDriver Wireless Vehicle Monitors

by Tazim Damji

BlueDriver

One of my favourite things to do during the nicer months of the year (or anytime it's not pouring rain) is go for a drive to one of the many waterfront parks, mountains or trails here in Vancouver.

CableKeeps: Nice, Tidy Cable Organizers

by Tazim Damji

CableKeeps

Nice, organized cords and chargers for my devices. Anything that will make cords look better and keep things a bit more organized is a huge improvement in my mind. Think about it: how often do you use and move around your adaptors for your iPhone and iPad? Pretty often, I imagine. With CableKeeps you'll know exactly which adaptor to pull out from the wall or your bag. They are colourful, fun, awesome ways to stay organized.  ...

Stylish Mobile Accessories for People on the go (with Giveaway – Canada Only)

by Tazim Damji

Stylish Mobile Accessories

I don't know about you, but I use my iPhone for pretty much everything — which means that the battery runs out fairly quickly. With all the use that phone-y gets, I feel safe knowing that she is protected from scratches and what-not with Belkin's TrueClear Invisiglass Screen Protector. I feel much better knowing that I won't run out of battery life at a crucial moment (like when I'm trying to watch funny animal videos or obsessively check my weather forecast app), and that my sweet iPhone is ...

The Last Screen Protector for your Devices: Phantom Glass

by Tazim Damji

phantom glass

Genius. I don't use the word often, unless I'm being sarcastic. But seriously, I think it applies to the fellow who invented Phantom Glass. I love hearing Arlene Dickenson (of Dragon's Den and many other non-TV things fame) say that the country will be in good hands when she sees a young entrepreneur come on the show to present their product or business. That is exactly how I felt when I met with Richard Waters, the inventor of Phantom Glass. When Richard told me he was only 20 years old, ...
