A middle-aged father of three girls, I am always on the lookout for things that bring good functionality and value to my hectic life. I am not an expert on any of these things, but like all gadget-nerds, I obsess with research and this site brings together the items that have survived my initial vetting process and then the even more difficult task of functioning to my expectations. From the extremely simple to the extravagant, these are the items that bring utility and serve me well.
