HomeRight SteamMachine Plus Review

by Tazim Damji

homeright steamer

Rather than just pushing first around, the SteamMachine Plus disinfects floors and countertops to make sure that you can go barefoot around your home without worries. "The 205 degree temperature steam at nozzle kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph." This is a big benefit, especially for those with children and pets. ...

Redbubble Helps you go Back to School in Style

by Tazim Damji

Redbubble Tote Bag

Who wants to have the same t-shirt, tote bag or phone case as everyone else—when school is all about showing off your individuality. That's what school is for, right? Developing your own style?! While I'm not going back to school in a traditional sense, I do consider myself a lifelong learner. As such, I spend a fair amount of time with my laptop at libraries (actually, I'm at my local library right now). I like to carry my library books home in a comfortable tote bag that holds a decent ...

My Devices Deserve a Smart Wireless Home Network

by Tazim Damji

Linksys-AC1900 Wireless Network Smart Wi-Fi Router

They work hard, they're loyal, and (because I chose them) they're awesome—my devices deserve the Linksys EA6900 Smart Wi-Fi Router. I get the best cases and covers for them—make sure they're dust-free, so this is just the next logical step in making sure my devices know that I care about them. About 10 minutes ago something exciting started—I initialized the set-up of my new Smart Wi-Fi Router. Yes, it only took that long to get everything connected, and test that it was all working (as ...

Case Logic Laptop Bag— Perfect for Entrepreneurs

by Tazim Damji

caselogic laptop bag

A backpack is too juvenile, a hard case laptop bag is too stuffy, but the Caselogic laptop bag I just got is just right. The Case Logic MLA-116 Laptop Bag allows me to take all the essentials with me when I'm meeting a client, giving a presentation or teaching a workshop. I can easily carry my 13" MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, wallet, notebook, pens, and room for a little more.  I like that it has both a shoulder strap and comfortable handles, so that I have options when it comes to carrying the ...

My iPad Loves the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard Case

by Tazim Damji

belkin iPad keyboard case

If Paddington (my iPad) loves something, who am I to question it? I use my iPad all the time to keep track of scheduling, control my music, blog on-the-go, watch TV shows and movies, and access all those other great apps I installed. With all the different things I use my iPad for, Paddington usually switches between his many (many) cases and covers. Usually, but not lately. I am not making up the fact that the new Belkin Ultimate Keyboard has been lovingly enveloping my iPad since I received ...

Standard Nerds Need Only Apply—IT Crowd Redbubble T-Shirt

by Tazim Damji

IT Crowd shirt

Designed by Tom Trager, a graphic artist and illustrator from Israel, the IT Crowd t-shirt holds a special place in my heart. I absolutely love the IT Crowd—the intense, yet subtle British humour, the interesting characters and topics that I can relate to, all make this a great one-of-a-kind show. ...

Great Sound Audiofly AF56 In-Ear Headphones

by Tazim Damji

audiofly

I'm pretty sure that these headphones would be the highlight of many typical gift-giving occasions, like the big one coming up—Christmas. I know several people who have new headphones on their wish-lists. With the tin that is included, you can gift these headphones in a stocking, quite easily. I've had many sets of in-ear headphones over the years, many of which had really poor sound quality and/or the buds kept falling out of my ears! The AF56 headphones from Audiofly don't disappoint as far as ...

Blurb Custom Personalized Photo Book for My Most Precious Memories

by Tazim Damji

blurb packaging

My mom has managed to put a few pictures in albums over the years, but the vast majority of her pictures never make it to her computer or get printed. The ones she has had printed (years ago, before she had a digital camera) just sit in their envelopes and within a big box in the basement. What is the point of taking all those photos and not actually looking at them and enjoying re-visiting the memories? I have thousands of photos in my iPhoto library that I regularly look through for ...
