I’ve had reasonable luck with iPhone headphones. For the most part they last a fair while and sound okay, not really giving me much reason to look for alternatives.

The $250 MindShift BackLight 26L (the 26L stands for 26 liters of internal volume) is a medium-sized backpack designed for the outdoors photographer but can be very much at home with anyone who wants to carry a lot of photo gear on their back in a handsomely designed bag. It comes in both green and graphite colors; I chose to review the graphite colored one. The first thing I noticed is how light the MindShift BackLight 26L feels (just around 4lbs/1.8kg). I don’t like heavy camera bags for comfort reasons, and this case does not add much more weight to my already heavy camera kit.

When iPads were first introduced by Apple I bought an original iPad and then later moved to an iPad 2. At the time, the thought of using an external keyboard to enter information into an iPad, was a novel idea. Back then, I got my hands on a pre-release keyboard case from a company called Kensington. It was a wonderful concept at the time and since that first case the good folks at Kensington have continued to refine their Folio line of keyboard cases for iPads.

I don’t know who came up with the idea that basic health requires eight hours of sleep. The only time I slept that many hours in recent years I was recovering from surgery in a hospital and taking prescription opiates. But on a recent morning, after using Sound+Sleep Mini, I woke up and realized I’d been asleep for over ten hours. I was so surprised I wanted to get on the phone and call everybody I know.

I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, when the album, or LP, was the physical musical format. During those years, and beyond, I accumulated hundreds of albums and 45s, which are smaller versions of albums, usually containing one song on either side and played at a faster speed.
