DormVaultDormVault open

One of the easiest things to walk on a college campus is the laptop.  The DormVault Laptop Safe was created to help prevent this kind of piracy.  The DormVault is made of durable steel, with a combination padlock that holds up to a 17-inch laptop.  Don’t be fooled by the photos, it’s a rugged safe.  Even with a 17 inch laptop inside, it has plenty of other space for cell phones, cameras, jewelry, etc…  It easily attaches to loft beds, certain types of desks and other furniture (without harming it).  The DormVault Laptop Safe would be the perfect gift for the new adult off to a higher education.  Don’t let their first life lesson be laptop left.

cohlan's-cooler-light-camping-accessories-gear

I recently had a chance to review the Cooler Light from Coghlan’s – a single LED light that attaches to the underside of your cooler’s lid and illuminates the contents when open.

Pretty neat, huh? I mean, how many times have you sat around the campfire, gone to the cooler to grab a drink and suddenly realized you can’t see what’s inside? Ya, we’ve all been there.

Anyway, the Cooler Light is really easy to set-up:

  • Remove the white battery cover on the front
  • Pull the inside tab to activate the Cooler Light
  • Screw the cap back on, then use the adhesive on the back of the unit to attach it to your cooler
  • That’s it. From there, the simple motion achieved by opening the lid will cause the light to come on. The light is soft but focused and shuts off after 20 seconds (even if the lid is still open) to help preserve the batteries – which are included, a definite plus.

    The Experiment:
    I enlisted 5 of my closest male friends (who all thought it was a cool gadget, btw) and all the beer we could carry for a full weekend of boating and testing.

    Over the course of the weekend, the cooler was opened over 80 times, I kept count as much as I could. There were a few instances where the light flickered a bit, but the majority of the time it worked without incident – providing just enough light to see the contents, without being overly harsh on the eyes. It’s also water-resistant and you can use it on coolers with hinged or flat lids.

    The Verdict:
    I can’t vouch for how long the batteries would last with prolonged use, or what the effects of constant motion (walking with the cooler, having it move around in a boat, etc) would do to the battery life – I’d probably need a full summer of testing to get a true idea.

    But for the few days we tested it, and for just under $10, it’s a great little gadget, works well, and adds some convenience to your life when partying at night.

    USB LED Light

    If you aren’t lucky enough to have a backlit keyboard, like the new Mac Book Pros have, then the USB 10 bulb LED light might be you next best option.  Just plug into your standard USB port for just enough light that won’t bother others.  The USB light uses a flexible cable that holds its shape, giving you light right where you need it.  Prefect laptop travel companion for dark times on the road.  Missing features are an on/off switch or dimming options but, for $6.95 I can look past it.

    Product Highlights:

    • 10 Soft white LED lights
    • Will provide up to 50,000 hours of use
    • Flexible metal arm for adjustment to your preference
    • No external power source necessary – plugs into any USB port

    Erin Andrews - Victim of Hotel Spy Cam

    Hidden cameras are nothing new but, they are getting smaller, with better resolution and can be integrated into just about anything.  As ESPN reporter Erin Andrews has just proven to the world, all of us are at risk.  Using the Spy Camera Finder will help put your mind at ease on that next business trip, locker room visit or vacation.

    Simply look through the viewing port and scan any room to reveal the exact location of concealed wireless and wired cameras (even if they are off).  It uses what is called “optical augmentation” to locate these video cams, even if they are hidden.  For around $87, it’s affordable and with its small size, it’s very portable and lightweight.
