This year, we decided to scribble our favorites down for you. ...

Gadling gear review- Western Mountaineering Caribou MF sleeping bag Mar 12th, 2010 at 10:30AM: In case you haven't heard, it's National Sleep Awareness Week. Yeah, I hadn't heard of it, either. But since we're being made aware of slumber, you should know about Western Mountaineering's Caribou MF microfiber sleeping bag. Because I backpack when traveling for work, it was time to upgrade to something lighter and more compressible than my old-school down bag. I had several key criterion in ...

One thumb down for Kayak.com

One thumb down for Kayak.com Dec 17th, 2007 at 2:30PM: This might be a controversial position, but I'm not a fan of Kayak anymore. It's gotten rave reviews for being an all-you-can-eat airfare conglomerate that doesn't even charge you a buck (it works to aggregate data from other for-profit aggregators like Orbitz). People have also been saying it's great for multi-city searches and car rentals comparisons. To all that, I say bah humbug! I just tried ...
