Game review: Hero Academy
If you know me, you know I’m a picky gamer. I don’t play a lot of games, but that’s not because I don’t like gaming — I just can never find a game that I enjoy long enough to stick with it. Hero Academy, a turn-based strategy game on iOS and Windows, just made its…

iPhone app review: Checkmark
iOS’s built-in Reminders app is pretty good, but not great.

Review: Logitech Gaming Mouse G300
When it comes to mice that work well for both right-handers and left-handers, there’s not many options out there.

Chrome OS: Even your mom will like it
Last week after work, I came home to find a package slip from UPS stuck to my door. This was a bit odd because I wasn’t expecting any deliveries. Always one to take advantage of a misdelivered box of goodies, I headed to the UPS shipping center to check things out. The serviceman came out…
