Giant Mosquitoes Are Coming!

If there is one thing I would rid  the world of, its pesky mosquitoes.  They've been responsible for killing thousands across the world, spreading germs and disease.

Now there are these giant mosquitoes the size of a quarter that can easily pierce through your clothing to bite - and they're coming to you, Florida!  Its not known how effective current bug repellants are either.

Hyperjuice 2 External Battery Pack for your Mac

I got the newest HyperJuice external battery pack in the other day to add to my road-warrior kit.  I've hacked up a MacBook Pro power adapter for use, and so far so good - more details to be provided in My MacLife section next week.

This portable power pack is powerful enough to charge a MacBook, and two tablets (iPads, etc) at the same time.

Other hyperjuice products coming soon as well - let me know if you want to see any other product lines from HyperJuice reviewed.

Review of course forthcoming, so check back soon for my initial impressions.
