I can use the crock pot but I only have two recipes. We can’t live on beef stew and pulled pork for the rest of our lives, so I needed more crock pot recipes. Crock-Pot Recipes App to the rescue.

The biggest complaint about earbuds is that they’re always falling out. When you’re participating in sports or exercise, the last thing you want to worry about is runaway earbuds.

Needless to say I was excited to review the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Scanner.

The Airbac AirTech backpack looks like any other well-made daypack. It has well-padded shoulder straps, mesh compartments on the sides for water bottles, and plenty of space for a laptop, books and office supplies.
