There’s an app for that! Well, actually there are a ton of navigation apps! A few months ago, I reviewed the Magellan RoadMate 3065 (http://gottahavegadget.com/?p=871) so I was anxious to put the RoadMate App to the test. To my surprise, the Magellan RoadMate app had all the functions of the stand alone GPS. If you are a data subscriber, you even get the Magellan Traffic Updates (in select areas). I never really liked using my iPhone for a GPS as the battery seemed to drain quickly, Magellan took care of that with the Magellan Premium Car Kit! Read the rest of this entry

In this contest, the contestants had to remove two different sized pipe fittings using the Irwin Vise Grip Groovelock pliers, then use an Irwin Square and pencil to mark three lines on a 2x4x24 piece of wood, secure the wood, cut the wood, then drill two holes (all using Irwin tools of course) and placing the board into two pegs unveiled when the pipe fittings were removed.

Video games seem like they have been around forever! Yes, I will be dating myself once again saying I remember playing “pong” and “battle tanks” on one of the original video game systems. Some old school games are making a comeback. In the days of A, B, X, Y, RT, LT, RB and LB one game that is making its way back to the playing field is Mega Man. It was actually pretty funny watching my son get frustrated over a two button game. Read the rest of this entry
