Test It Tuesday — Ultrasonic Jewelry And Eyeglass Cleaner July 28, 2009

While I do wear contact lenses on the air ( the secret is out ), I prefer to wear glasses but I often find them hard to clean. Even if I do use that cloth, I will end up getting smudge marks on them from time to time.
I don’t think anything is perfect other than [...]

Celebrity Test It Tuesday – The Iron Gym July 21, 2009

You have used the excuse time and time again when you are on vacation.
“I can’t exercise on vacation”.
You blame the lack of facilities, the lack of time and the lack of motivation. Well, in his fold-up, fit in your suitcase world we live in, there is no longer that excuse. Say hello to the Iron [...]

Celebrity Test It Tuesday – Kix By Katie July 14, 2009

While I loke to think I am an educated man, I will admit there are things I do not know because I happen not to live the life of a woman. Case in point, this week’s Test It Tuesday and the problem that has plagued women for centuries: the shoe wedgie.
This problem plagues women who [...]

Test It Tuesday — Garden Groom June 9, 2009

Thanks for visiting my “Test It Tuesday” blog. This week, we head to the backyard and try the Garden Groom. It’s a electric hedge trimmer but claims to be so much more. It says it not only cuts the hedges, it will also collect the clippings and turn them into mulch for your use later.
I [...]

Test It Tuesday – Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets June 2, 2009

It’s got a complicated name … but a simple premise. Instead of having to buy detergent, fabric softener and static cling sheets separately … and adding them in at different times … this product allows you to use all three at once.
It’s called the Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet ( told you the name was [...]

Test It Tuesday – Windex Outdoor All-In-One May 26, 2009

I remember as a kid I hated doing the windows outside my house. However, every spring, that was one of the chores my brother and I had to do around the house. It involved grabbing Windex, spraying the window, using one towel to wipe off the soap and another to dry the window off. Let’s [...]

Test It Tuesday — Blox May 19, 2009

A shirt – impervious to stains?
It’s a young mother’s dream come true … or in this case, a young father. We tested the stain fighter Blox at the home of my co-anchor Wendy Bell, but we had her husband Joe handle the hard part.
Joe not only washed their kids clothes in Blox, but also tested [...]

Gas prices are on their way back up … just in time for Memorial Day. I’m sure we would all love to save money on all that gas we are going to spending over the holiday weekend.
To that end, we have tested a few items designed to increase gas mileage … and, so far, we [...]

Test It Tuesday: Nano-UV Disinfection Light Scanner May 5, 2009

No doubt the threat of the H1N1 flu has scared a lot of people. It’s frightening to know there is a flu out there that can actually kill you in its worst form.
It’s also got many of us thinking about ways to protect our families. While the H1N1 flu is complicated, protection is easy. Washing [...]

Test It Tuesday — Scratch B Gone April 28, 2009

They call it Stainless steel — not scratchless.
Nothing ruins the perfect stainless steel kitchen than a nice scratch on the surface of the stove top, the refrigerator or the grill. So when I heard about a product that could not just cover up the scratches, but remove them entirely, I got a little excited. So [...]

Test It Tuesday — EZ Combs April 21, 2009

It’s not a problem I will ever have, but I do feel for ladies with long hair. While it looks great, it rarely stays out of your face. My friend Julie Schell often has to push it back when she’s on the phone.I can just imagine what it would be like if she was a [...]

Test It Tuesday — The Lens CPR April 14, 2009

I must admit I do wear contact lenses, because they are easier to wear and there is less chance of getting the lens of my contacts scratched up. You should see my glasses. Smudges, scratches, etc. I admit I do not take care of them.
That’s why the Lens CPR was so appealing to me as [...]

Test It Tuesday – Point N Paint April 7, 2009

Anybody out there really like to paint?
Children, put your hands down. Adults …. I thought so.
Painting is one of those things that you really would rather have a professional handle, if he wasn’t so expensive. However, the prospect of doing it yourself is no fun either. That’s where the Point ‘N Paint  comes in ( [...]

Test It Tuesday — Wireless Key Tracker March 31, 2009

I have found the best way not to lose your keys is to have someplace near the door to the garage. That way, the keys are always there. However, some of us just can’t do what makes sense … and we have to make life hard on ourselves by bringing out keys into the house [...]
