Netgear WN311T PCI Wireless N Adapter Review
Well, the DLink DWA-552 performed very poorly in my setup. You can look over my DLink DWA-552 review. So, I decided to go back and get the Netgear WN311T. It has external antenna connection cables that mount to a nice looking antenna box. Let’s see how it faired.
ScanGauge II Onboard Car Scanner
Once you start messing with your car, you immediately want to know what is going on with it. One of the great things about newer cars (1996 and newer) is that they have a great onboard computer system. What’s even better is that you can tap into that computer and get all kinds […]
LaserShield Personal Security System

The cost/benefit on the financial side just isn’t really there. The initial cost, ongoing maintenance, and battery replacement […]

Saving Gas by HHO Acetone and Hypermiling
