Late last year we took a look at the revolutionary Beddit Sleep Tracker and Wellness Coach and loved the non-wearable concept.
In February Beddit introduced a cloud based web portal to enable groups to gather and compare their sleep data.
To put it to the test, the members of my family have each been using a Beddit Sleep Tracker and via the new Family portal, collectively shared our sleep data for the past few months.

The Dakota and its military version the C-47, is one of the most iconic aeroplanes of all time. Some of the 70-year-old aircraft are still in active service today! But most of the thousands produced have faded away in history.
Such was almost the fate of PK-GDC until craftsman extraordinaire Pleun Hitzert rescued the carcass from total demise by converting it to a unique accommodation for two persons.
And, he added another exclusive feature: a Dakota flight simulator that works with the aircraft's own controls!

Even before Apple unveiled their HealthKit system, health monitoring and tracking devices have been steadily gaining popularity.
While there are numerous companies out there tracking steps, blood pressure and weight, Beddit is looking at something far closer to our hearts.
Sleep.

It's amazing how much measuring we all do, even if we are not in the building trade.
Most households do a fair bit of DIY around the place, from measuring windows to planning a patio or building a veranda. And here I'm just listing a couple of things that are happening in my household right now. All of this requires a fair bit of accurate measuring but never before has it been so much fun or accurate as with the M2, an inexpensive laser measuring device.
Time to ditch the old tape measure? Probably not as we first need to do some comparisons.
Let's see how the M2 measures up.
We don't realise how much we depend on electricity until the lights go out. And if you happen to be in the middle of an urgent task that you need to finish (or save) when the electrons stop flowing in your business, you will praise the day you invested in an Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS.
Today we'll have a close look at the Socomec NETYS PR RT solution that will do more than provide backup power.
Well, if you have worked your way through all the warnings and advice last time, you deserve some fun getting ready for your first flight!
You might have noticed that remote-controlled aircraft of every shape, size and price have showed up in our retail stores and online shops in the last year. You can find them in Harvey Norman and similar chains, photo shops and even outlets that normally only cater for car parts! And then there are myriads of online traders that specialise in quadcopters and any type of camera equipped UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).
Undoubtedly, most of you reading this article are interested in this sort of technology and are perhaps looking also to in getting into this fast evolving field. And why not? A modern quadcopter is probably the most exciting toy and tool you can lay your hands on. Yes, there's a lot of fun to be had with the inexpensive gear and some of them do even have a small camera on board. However, quadcopters can also be an extremely useful tool and arguably the most popular one in the current marketplace has to be the Phantom 2 Vision from DJI.
In a series of reviews we will put the Phantom 2 Vision through its paces and will show you what to expect and to watch out for. Plus, we will have a recommendation on where best to source the Phantom 2 Vision.
So let's come fly with us!
Back pain is one of the most common and disabling pains. That is no surprise given our sedentary lifestyle but what to do when it hits you? If you can afford the time off, staying in bed might give some relief but even then the pain is ever present.
For most people the use of TENS devices will help considerably to alleviate the pain and today we are reviewing one of the best designed and most practical of these units: the WiTouch Pro from Hollywog. Spoiler alert: it's a brilliant device!
In 2012 we took a look at B&R's Ausrack Floor OnyX 19" rack cabinet and how it could help the modern technophile store their rampant computer gear. Today we are looking at the Ausrack Floor Onyx's smaller sibling, the Ausrack Wall OnyX.

We haven't seen a vacuum cleaner cross our review desk since June 2011 when we took a look at the impressive Dyson Slim DC35. Like the DC35, Bissell's AirRam is cordless, compact and for a vacuum cleaner, kind of cool looking.
And here is where the Bissell steps it up a notch: Unlike every cordless vacuum cleaner we have ever seen, the Bissell AirRam is aimed at actually replacing, not complementing your mains powered vacuum cleaner!
