Likeables - Posts on things I like

I'm a pretty critical person.  I have no shame about that.  In fact, I get paid for it.  :)  I love testing.  I'm naturally evaluating and questioning everything I interact with.  Admittedly I don't contribute to the golden arrow of consumerism very much.  If fact, it takes a visit from my mom or sister to get me to go out and shop.  I buy only what I really like which means it's probably got the following going for it:

• Functional & useful for my needs
• There is some craftsmanship, ingenuity, or beauty to it  
• It's well made of good materials
• The price is proper for it's value & market

Therefore posts in this category called 'likeables' will be things that I really like.  I'll likely list some improvements that I would ask for too, if the product could use any.
