Keith Shaw’s Cool Tools Alert

LATEST COOL TOOLS VIDEO: Cheaper alternative to wireless music?

Keith tests out a viewer’s idea to use the Belkin TuneCaster to broadcast music around the house rather than the more expensive Logitech Wireless Music system.

LATEST COOL TOOLS COLUMN: Baby on the small screen

A new member of the Cool Tools Testing Team arrived last month, although it will be a while before Marley starts troubleshooting the home LAN routers (she mostly sleeps and eats).

Like many proud papas these days, I’ve taken tons of photos and sent out e-mails with photos attached. But because I’m the Cool Tools guy, I’m expected to utilize as much technology as possible to create real-time multimedia extravaganzas that show her every waking moment.
