A Hands-Free Phone for Dad

A hands free telephone is one item Dad cannot afford to be without, speciously if he has an office at home like my husband does. If you’ve ever tried to work on the computer while talking on the phone, you know how frustrating it can be. Fortunately, there are many hands free phones to choose from, so what one do you choose. How about the VTech LS6475-3 Multitasking phone system?

The cordless headset means no more ear to shoulder juggling for my husband or racing to find the phone when I have taken it from his office and not returned it. With a touch of the button on the ear piece hubby can answer a call, chat away, and still type on the computer.

Performance is Everything.

Not all printers are created equal.  If you are looking for a new printer for dad this Father’s Day  you may find yourself passing through rows of printers closely resembling one another unable to decide which one to choose.  If you are looking for a  name brand you can trust then I highly recommend Epson. Epson is one of the top brands in printer reliability.

Epson has multiple printers to choose from that are the perfect purchase for your home, or  business. I have always been a huge fan  of Epson Printers. My very first printer was an Epson three-in-one, photocopier, scanner and printer back in the late 90’s.

I also had the pleasure of doing a review for Epson a few months ago for the Epson Stylus NX625 All-in-One Printer. Needless to say I wasn’t disappointed at all, but who would have thought that Epson would make another printer that is even better, adding lightening fast printing with their new 4-in-one Workforce series?

The Epson Workforce 845 Printer comes loaded with many new features, and some added bonuses that I will touch on later in my review. Read more…

                

The Perfect Easter Gift Basket Idea for Teens

Looking for an Easter basket idea for your teen? Teens listen to an average of forty hours of music per week. Why not fill their basket with everything that is related to music? Include an assortment of new CD’s, an iTunes Gift Card, a gift card to their favorite music store and a new pair of dBLogic earphones.

The EP-100 earphones come in a little round case, perfect for Easter basket stuffing.

Many teens listen to their music loudly and are unaware of the damage that it may be causing. According to the Journal of Pediatrics, 12.5 percent of kids between the ages of 6 and 19 suffer from loss of hearing as a result of using ear phones turned to a high volume.

One major contributor to this is ear-buds. Prolonged exposure to volume levels above 85 dB can lead to permanent hearing damage. Typically, someone who is exposed to more than 85 decibels of sound for eight hours damages their hearing.

dB Logic EP-100 earphones are designed to help protect hearing, without sacrificing audio quality or style. Read more…

Telltale Games the leader in smart and funny, story driven video games has released ” Back to the Future: The Game” for Nintendo Wii. True to the spirit of the original film trilogy, the time traveling exploits of “Doc” Brown and Marty McFly continue in Telltale’s Back to the Future: The Game.

Fans of the classic ’80s film series will love this game. From the moment you start playing, you’ll be scanning the environment searching for clues that will push the story along. The game does move along slowly. If you’re looking for a fast past game this one is not one of those games.

When you first boot up the game, you will get a selection of the five episodes: It’s About Time, Get Tannen!, Citizen Brown, Double Visions, and Outatime.

The episodes can be played in any order, but it is best to start at the beginning. Read more…
