Technology isn’t always something you plug in. Sometimes it’s the result of high technology, sometimes, it’s a product that fills a need you didn't know you had. In looking at products this holiday season, we took a look at the Snuggle Pedic Adjustable Shredded Style Memory Foam Pillow. Its soft cushiony feel belies the technology that led to its widespread adoption. If you are looking for a superior pillow for a good night’s sleep, read our full-review.

Our first introduction to IK Multimedia came in 1997 when we heard about a new program, GrooveMaker. Later with the introduction of the iPad, we started reviewing their Apps allowing musicians to model a wide-variety of amps, rack effects, editing software, and more. And in 2010, the iRig arrived, which was a guitar interface for iOS devices, followed by the iRig Mic. After that an avalanche of products followed from cables to speakers to keyboards. The new iRig Mic HD 2, and iRig Pre HD build upon that history, including their well-known affordable price point. Read our review for the full story. Read our full review to learn more!

October brings rustling leaves, cool nights, pumpkin-spiced everything, and eerie spirits. But Philadelphia Magazine’s Whiskey and Fine Spirits Festival offered attendees the opportunity to spend an autumn evening tasting samples from more than 200 premium distilled spirits, a preferred way to ward off the chill in the air. The vendors were set up in the TORK Club at the legendary Lincoln Financial Field, a spacious and airy venue with floor-to-ceiling glass along one wall, looking out over the South Philly skyline. Pennsylvania was the site of the legendary Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. However, most of the attendees weren’t there for a history lesson – they were looking to quench their thirst for knowledge about the best distilled spirits! A portion of the ticket sales from the event will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
