Microsoft Surface 2 review
“At the office” has become a nebulous term in my life. I’ve been “at the office” in coffeeshops, libraries, planes, taxis, bars, and one time from my seat during the third quarter of the Super... Read Full Review

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 review
I’ve been using the Surface Pro ever since it came out, but as much as I want to I’ve never been able to use it as my laptop replacement. It’s powerful and impressive, but it’s just too limited as a laptop, and too chunky as... Read Full Review

Fitbit Force review
I’ve come to a sobering conclusion about myself: I’m not a very active person. Despite maintaining a gym membership and only the best intentions, I still prefer to read, watch TV, and play games. This is precisely why I’ve... Read Full Review

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review (2013)
Amazon won the ebook reader war. Like the iPod, the Swiffer, or Jell-O, the Kindle is just what you buy when you want what it does. Barnes & Noble and Sony went down swinging trying to compete, and Kobo and Iriver are but gnats to... Read Full Review

Dice+ review: the surprisingly analog future of board games
Board games take up a lot of space. I don't have much room for those big, bulky boxes, and it doesn’t help that the tiny pieces are all so easy to lose. In the same way that my ereader helped curb the growth of my physical... Read Full Review

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX review (7-inch)

Samsung Galaxy Gear review
If you’ve ever seen a cycling race, you’ll know that leading from the front isn’t always a great idea. The front runner has to cut a path through the wind and expend much more energy than the savvy followers behind him. The... Read Full Review
