		<description><![CDATA[The good news is the micro helicopters are way better today and way cheaper.  Our friends at Xenonproject.com were kind enough to send us demo unit to dust off our pilot skills with.
Our unit is the S107G in red.  The little sucker is surprisingly well made.  The chassis is metal and the housing is a nice high quality plastic.  Our only wish here is that the gears were made of metal as well.
The other major improvement we noted was the blades.  Instead of being fixed and super easy to break, each blade can fold back and is made of much more flexible – i.e. damage resistant plastic than previous models.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adding a new feature to the site today, highlighting the Consumer Product Safety Recalls for each month.  Our initial post kicks off with the Hoover WindTunnel Canister Vacuum.  142,000 units have been recalled due to the risk of fire and shock.  The power cord between the power nozzle and the wand connector can short-circuit posing fire and shock hazards to consumers. This condition can occur even if the vacuum has been turned off but left plugged in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While design is a dramatic departure from a traditional Maglite, overall is nothing revolutionary, rather it brings the brand more inline with the industry's current offering.  The "magic" if you will is in the user interface and overall value.  Instead of spending 1000 words, describing it to you, check out the video below, keeping in mind you can pick on up for about $30, I would say the XL100 is solid piece of equipment worthy of adding to your toolbox, vehicle, etc...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing.  Not one problem, crack, break or malfunction.  All of our Pelican cases have performed perfectly.  To get the most functionality out of the case, we recommend the configuration that includes the padded dividers and lid organizer.  Amazon sells a kit including the 1510 and dividers for $160 plus the organizer for another $20.  If you do not plan to carry many small items, Pelican offers a laptop/overnight insert option as well.  One more more item of note, The 1510 does meet FAA size requirements for carry-on baggage, an essential feature for us since we NEVER check our camera gear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of our ongoing project to protect and secure our IT equipment and corporate data we have added Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) to each of our workstations.   Our shop is in a fairly rural area so the power grid can be a bit tricky at times, especially in the winter.  On a dolllar/VA or Watt basis, the Cyberpower unit blew away anything APC had to offer and considering how well reviewed the product is on both Amazon and New Egg, it was a pretty easy choice to make.  1500 VA might sound like a bit of overkill, but we figure given the setup of our machines we will only get about 20 minutes of work time before killing the battery - not bad but not amazing...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two biggest improvements I found were the addition of what Eye-Fi calls "Endless Memory" and "Ad Hoc" transfers.  Endless Memory automatically removes the oldest content on the card that has already been uploading to your computer once the remaining space available on the card hits a user set threshold.  And while that is neat enough,  Ad Hoc is where the real magic is at.  Typical Eye-Fi cards upload via Wi-Fi Network.  No available network - no upload.  For anyone working away from an internet connection you were out of luck.  No more!  The Ad Hoc feature creates a private WLAN connection that allows for direct transfers from camera to phone including photos shot in RAW.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because of those downsides the Little Giant could be a very good choice should need a second ladder.  Even at its largest, 4 step, configuration the Little Jumbo comes in at less than half the cost. Plus it collapses down to just 5 inches deep making storage and transport a snap.  Additionally, back legs have two casters that let you drag it around the work site while it is in its unfolded position.  Finish up with a hand rail, small work tray, large rubberized treads and a 300 pounds capacity and it looks like a great choice to us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The kit comes with the actual extender, a wire support, and 3 rubber pads of varying thickness depending on how far your phone sits away from the support.  As you can hopefully see from the picture above, I am using it in a Kensington iPhone Dock, in which it fits perfectly. Even with the Otterbox Defender case.  In my mind, value of is function of utility so calling the Dock Extender overpriced is perhaps a bit unfair as it works almost flawlessly.  The only real problems that have surfaced so far are it takes two hands to add or remove a phone - either the case tab is in the way to dock or the dock is not heavy enough to stay in place when I go to pull the phone off and the extender often pulls off the dock instead of the phone.]]></description>
