First Impressions
One of my pet peeves is when people "review" things the day after they unbox them. It's next to impossible to get a fair or accurate idea of how well something works if you've only used it a few times. In this section you'll find items that I have recently purchased, or things that I got to check out. Some items in this section will not make it to reviews simply because I don't own them!

Reviews
After I feel that I've worn off the newness and given my gear a good beating, I'll review it here. I am pretty hard on my gear, so if it falls apart or it sucks you'll read about it here.
