There’s nothing more frustrating than the experience of trying to find just the right carrying case or backpack for all of your tech gadgets. Sometimes you find something that works, but then something else about that does not. It can also be the most wonderful feeling to know that you got just the right number of pockets, zippers, elastic holders and more for everything you carry. It reminds me of the contest they held over on Lifehacker that asked what was inside your Go-Bag. Lots of great bag recommendations, cool things people carry around, and it sparked the passion of finding something that would allow everything to have it’s place.
Now Saddleback has jumped into the ring with their own versions of geek chic accessories. They introduced the Saddleback Gadget Pouches for items like your laptop, phone, power adapters, e-readers, and more. And if you’re a fan of authentic leather, then these creations are the cream of the crop.
Ranging from $31-$55, the pouches are made of hardened boot leather and will turn a patina color over time for give that rugged “manly” look and feel to your sleek geek gadgets. So rugged and tough are these creations, they literally offer you a 100 year guarantee. Yep that’s right, pass it on to your next of kin and chances are it will still work just as good for them. Though, considering how fast gadgets are overturned, I don’t forsee anyone still holding an iPad in 100 years, at least not this iteration, but it’s good to know it has longevity.
This new e-reader is definitely going to turn some heads. It feels like I’m writing a lot about tablets and touch devices and today is no different. It’s time for the Kindle and Nook to take a back seat to this amazing piece of viewing technology which functions as a full fledged e-reader touting a screen size of 11.5 inches with a resolution of 1200 x 1600. This reader is not for the feint of heart.
Unlike the past e-readers, including the Nook and Kindle, the Skiff Reader uses LG’s “Metal Foil” e-paper technology to bring you crystal clarity that is unparallel in readers of this size. Both the Nook and Kindle use a glass touch surface which makes it much for fragile and susceptible to breaking. This added bonus makes it much more travel friendly and a great reader option for the clumsy.
The device is expected to be sold via Sprint on their 3G network. The device which sports the wi-fi connectivity of its predecessors will also have the ability to download from a virtual store. The reader also offers benefits for publishers looking to put content on the reader. You can find information on publisher benefits here.

Reading the Bible, for those who are interested can be difficult in some regards. The most obvious being that the thing is huge with thousands of years worth of literature crammed in one binding, not exactly making it a pocket-sized reader.
iBible is a web app which makes reading and referencing the Bible easy.
Basically, because it’s all so simple and plain; consisting mostly of buttons for each chapter and the rest being text, loading it on any device connected to the internet is quick and easy. This makes it suitable for PC users as well as when you’re on the go such as on a mobile phone using GPRS Internet, a PSP or iPhone.
It’s available in several languages including English, French, German and Polish. The home screen is where you select you language and the screens after this whittle your choice down from Testament, to books, to chapters such as the one I read; Genesis 6.
