By Isaac M. O'Bannon, Editor - Saturday December 29, 2012
From the Tech Views blog. Here comes the new year, and if you're still looking for a few post-holiday deals on gadgets, I've got a few more ideas that I'll post each day until New Year's Eve! A Golden Gift: Hit the Tees at Home One of the biggest video game hits of the past 15 years has been Golden Tee, with the standup projector style gaming units drawing competitive players at bars, restaurants and various other locations around the country. For those who love the game, but would rather stay at home, the Golden Tee 2013 Home Edition is a hole-in-one of a gift. The standup system is the real thing, not a console-based game with a puny little trackball. It includes a 39-inch high cabinet that connects to an HDTV, plus has... -

The Booster brings high performance sound to up to four audio sources, featuring an easy-to-use remote control, beautiful extruded aluminum cabinet and professional quality speaker connectors.

A Man Cave Must I miss "gaming" the way it used to be: With consoles at the arcade, pizza joint or the bar. But while they are mostly disappearing from those venues, you can still get the full arcade experience at home with Dream Arcades collection of pre-built and assembly kit games. Virtually all of the old classics and newer favorites are available, as well as multi-game units, available in stand-up and table-top models.

From the Tech Views blog. Let the countdown continue... It's the gift-giving season, and I'm here to give some gadget options for those on your gift list (even yourself). This series will last through the holidays. Day 2: Mobile Storage is Cool Again I’ve written about Seagate’s GoFlex Satellite before, but the latest generation of the portable hard drives have taken everything even more mobile. It’s better to think of the new Mobile Wireless version as a portable media library, allowing you to massively increase the number of movies, music and other files than your mobile devices can hold.
