Each month RECORD reviews building product related web sites and blogs that might be of interest to our readership. We visit each site, kick the tires a bit, and share what it is about and how it functions. Please let us know if there is a site you've found particularly useful, well-designed, or easy to navigate. — Rita Catinella Orrell

www.ubergizmo.com
In about three years since its launch, the Ubergizmo blog has become one of the Web’s leading gadget sites. Run by engineer Hubert Nguyen and designer Eliane Fiolet, the site is predominantly geared toward computer gizmos, cell-phone technology, and the like, but occasionally it posts news on solar, transportation, and green products, including a solar-powered billboard and an outdoor bike stand that doubles as an air pump.
