Congratulations, dads and grads everywhere!
There are so many new and exciting things to see and evaluate, and, ultimately, to share with you. And there are quite a number of other things that have become timeless staples, things that are not new but are worthy of regular, persistent mention. It is my belief that these deserving products and technologies should be presented again and again because they have passed the test.
What is the test? They are nearly timeless. They are as exciting and relevant today as when I first wrote about them. The only difference between then and now is that you may not have known about them then, but you will now. Unlike the latest and greatest computer, TV or phone, these gems remain worthwhile and effective and will not go out of style, superseded by a newer, better, fresher model. I think this kind of product represents the best value around. So, here for your pleasure, is a linked list of new AND not so new, recommended and tested products and technologies.
Let the tech begin! Have a terrific summer season!
