LifeActiv Bike and Bar Mount is a $40 solution for cyclists who want to attach a smartphone or music player to their bike’s handlebars. If you read the clumsy instructions carefully, the mount can be attached to a bike in a minute. It took me more than an hour because the instructions were botched at a crucial step.

In the dizzying world of audio accessories, price is not always a good indicator of quality. These Piston Classic In-Ear Headphones from 1More are a remarkable buy for only $20. I have famous brand over-the-ear headphones that cost nearly 20 times that much and don’t sound as clean and pleasing as the attractive Piston Classics.

Join the continued adventures of the master thief Garrett as he continues his adventures ten years after the end of the prior game. While this is almost into Duke Nukem Forever territory, Thief: Master Thief Edition game was actually worth the wait. From the start there is the same ambiance that the original games had, with lots of shadows and places to hide. The AI in the game can be annoying at times when it decides that a guard may hear something and stick around and peer into the shadows to try and find you. Fortunately, there are things that can be done about those nosey guards.

That would be the Macally Aluminum USB 3.0 External 2.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure. This tiny enclosure packs some serious speed. The enclosure comes as an empty shell. All it has in the box is the USB 3.0 cable and the lightweight aluminum shell. The enclosure is held together with four screws, two on each end. You can take off either end to insert your 2.5-inch drive, but the end with the pretty blue light has the control electronics, so it would be best to take off this end for ease of installation.

In my over ten years at MyMac I have reviewed a variety of items. Whenever possible I try to review art related items like drawing tablets, painting apps, and similar creative stuff. When John Nemo, the MyMac reviews editor, asked me to review Chalk Ink Markers I thought why not? It isn’t tech specific, but it is related to my field of expertise. Plus, maybe someone has a tech business that is looking into having hand made signs.

Construction is robust. Pockets are well-placed for both techie and traditional hoodie purposes, including extra-deep hand warmer pockets and a secret iPad mini pocket on the interior, in addition to iPhone and iPod pockets.

When the review pair of the 1More Single Driver headphones arrived in the mail, I was struck by how quickly my 16-year-old son latched onto them. Like myself, he was impressed with the attractiveness and fit and finish of the packaging and just the look of the headphones themselves. They look sharp, to say the least. The packaging is reminiscent of the way Apple packages its own products, showing me that 1More actually cares about customer first impressions. I kept asking myself, ‘These are only $29.99? Wow!’

I have owned a Mid 2013 13″ MacBook Air (MBA) since 2014. I bought the MacBook Air for several reasons. I needed something light to carry since I also lug around a MacBook Pro issued to me from the company where I work. While I have a Mac Pro at home (Cheese grater version) I needed something portable so I could update my website while mobile, and quite frankly, something that would get me out of the home office. I do love working from my back porch during the summer.
