It’s not often that you would think of a printer as being a travel gadget. After all, traditionally printers were quite large and even some of the photo printers that started coming out were still quite boxy. Enter the Epson PictureMate Dash.
First off, I often post things here that sound and look interesting [...]

This may seem like a silly travel gadget, but bear with me - ThinkGeek, one of my favorite places to drool, has an awesome t-shirt that will help you locate Wi-Fi and tell you the status on the signal.

This is what every hardcore geek gadget addict needs! The Gadget Bag comes with pockets and compartments that will keep all of your gadgets and peripherals together yet separate to avoid scratches and dents.

This is possibly one of the coolest pieces of free software that I have ever seen and I seriously want to go take some pictures specifically to try it out myself.
One of the most common annoyances involved in trying to take pictures of tourist-laden hot spots on your travels is the very fact that it’s [...]
