Whispers and Gossip and Scuttlebutt, Oh My!

There is so much speculation as to the possible redesign of the iPhone. What colors will it come in? How big will it be? What will the screen look like? Will it have a bezel-less design? We must wait and see, grasshopper, but it sure is fun to guess.

Gifts that Keep on Giving (Because You Keep them For Yourself)

It’s graduation season, and that means presents. Gadgety presents. AKA Things You Want. (But go ahead, pretend you’re buying them for other people. We won’t tell.)

Or, you know, 3D print one. Because apparently this is a thing now.
