Logitech Triathlon Mouse – Review
The best mouse, in my opinion, is one with a weighted flywheel for scrolling. I have used Logitech’s mice with this feature for a decade. Work your way down a lengthy article or webpage, and with a flick of your finger, you can zip back to the top thanks to the flywheel action. This fast, accurate scrolling becomes an addictive part of your workflow.

Bicycling with Headphones – Sam’s Suggestions
Are Bluetooth headphones superior to wired ones for outdoor sports? Until recently, I was convinced Bluetooth earphones were one of the best accessories I could use on my bike rides.

FLOTE Clamp – Review
In the chaotic and inconsistent universe of iPad stands, there is FLOTE and there is everything else. The company’s ORBIT is a vertical-bar tabletop model with a heavy base, and the DESKTOP model adds an extension arm. Both stands swivel, tilt, and rotate via a powerful, round, magnetized, cylindrical joint affixed to an adjustable clamp to hold your precious tablet. The new FLOTE Clamp replaces the massive round base for semi-permanent table, desk, shelf, or similar placement.
