If you’re traveling on business, chances are good you’re going to bring your laptop with you. More and more people are using VOIP technology like Skype for their phone calls at home or while away, but it’s not always easy to use a microphone. If you plan to make use of Skype and […]

Split the cost of entertainment with a splitter

Over at Fly Away Cafe, Mary Jo had a great tip about saving on entertainment costs on your flights if you’re traveling with someone. You can bring along a splitter which will allow you and your flight buddy to share some music or a movie together. Obviously, this might not go over well […]

Get some peace on your flight

If you’re flying and want to get some peace and quiet, maybe even some sleep on your flight, the best way to do it is to block out everything around you. I don’t know about you but I just can’t sleep when I can hear a bunch of people talking, laughing, complaining, snoring, whatever.

Rock out anywhere with SurroundXi

There’s certainly no shortage of portable speakers for your MP3 player out on the market - you can get big ones, tiny ones, and even some in weird novelty shapes.
However, I must say not many are as sleek as the SurroundXi speaker system by Rapha. Compatible with iPod, MP3, MP4, and CD/DVD players, as […]
