Wow, we looked at a bunch of stuff regarding survival gear. My biggest surprise was just how bad the food tasted. Sorry folks, but there's got to be better versions out there. The ones I tried (food bars) were too sugary and loaded with carbs. Instant energy boost, but a big energy drop-off.
The dehydrated packs were okay, but too much salt and..... [ read more ] Mar 10

If you were with us the last few weeks, then you witnessed first hand our go with "survival" food items as well as our test of other essential gear (water filters, survival kits, water pouches, knives, bags, etc). We tried dehydrated foods and plain ol' food ration bars, but after all is said and done, we all walked away feeling one thing. We're..... [ read more ]

If you write things down(and you should) then you need AwesomeNote. AwesomeNote has replaced notepad as my goto note app. I got it was because it allows creation of folders where I can organize and group my notes. It's also a multi-purpose app. AwesomeNote supports creating lists where I can check off items, like a to-do list, but it can be used as just a standard notepad.
I've used a..... [ read more ] Mar 09
This is the first time we're taking 3 separate pieces of gear and pitting them up against each other in a "showdown/throwdown" of sorts. This review is a roundtable of edits with 5 different Editor's contributions. So, even though it has my name in the by-line, it's really all of us here at Tech Bucket Blog.

Back when console gaming was nothing more than a teenager (8-bit and 16-bit days), something called Final Fantasy was still new. The sweeping story, orchestrated presentation styles and of course exploring with a healthy dose of turn-based fighting formula was still somewhat new to us Americans.
Sure, RPGs had been around on PC's for ages, but on consoles..... [ read more ] Mar 08
Yup. That's what I think of Elinor Burkett and her antics yesterday during the Academy Awards. "Nuts", might not be appropriate as perhaps "crazy" or even in need of serious professional help.
I don't know what goes on in a person's mind when they decide, "hey, I think I'll go up on stage" during a time when it's clearly someone else's moment. I mean, it's a once in a lifetime thing to win..... [ read more ] Mar 05
Simple ideas make the world go round. They really do. Think about it. Simple solutions to complex problems also make a bucket load of cash.
See, some guy a long time ago sat at his dinner table with a piece of rock salt and thought, "jeez...there's gotta be a better way!" Pulverized salt poured into a container with some holes on it and bingo! Salt container. But wait! Shake it to get..... [ read more ] Mar 05
I understand that Wii VC games are not as easy as just slapping some code together and getting it to run on Wii. Actually, it is. There might be a few controller tweaks here and there, but all in all, not really that challenging, especially when compared to a full on development of a brand new title.
So, it's really puzzling to me that Nintendo has not released more classic Sega Master..... [ read more ]
