REVIEW – I’ve been using a Logitech MX mouse every single day since a kind reader of the site sent me their MX700 mouse over 21 years ago. That’s right, I’ve been loyal to Logitech mice for over 21 years. First, it was the MX700, followed by the MX1000, MX Revolution. Then, at some point,

REVIEW – I love knives of all sizes, but I love pocket knives most of all. They’re versatile, easy to carry, and Vosteed makes a ton of great ones. They have some in all price ranges. Today I’m talking about a new release, the Vosteed Psyop. It’s made with some primo materials, and the specs

Creality FalconA1Pro 01

REVIEW – I have always wanted a laser engraver and cutter, but the affordable ones looked like a glorified Erector set, and the powerful enclosed versions would cost a small fortune. Finally, Creality’s Falcon A1 Pro 20W Laser Engraver & Cutter strikes the balance of an all-in-one, self-contained design without breaking the bank. I’ve never

Excited was an understatement when it came to having the opportunity to review this e-bike! Am I a convert from traditional, pedal-powered bicycles? Does riding an e-bike have benefits? Did I grin ear-to-ear while riding

REVIEW – We travel a lot. Many times, that travel is to warm, exotic places. Other times, we visit wetter, cooler, or downright colder locales. It’s tough to pack for those wet and cold places because adding a bunch of cold-weather gear takes a lot of precious luggage space. What helps conserve space is heated

REVIEW – I love building models. I’ve been doing so since I was a very young boy. I really enjoy models that aren’t just static, shelf-sitting decorations after completion. Models that move, or provide some sort of mechanical demonstration, are the best. I’ve reviewed a few mechanical model kits for The Gadgeteer (here and here)

REVIEW – I love ice fishing and spending time outdoors in the winter. The key to enjoying being out in the cold is keeping dry and warm and having the right gear.

REVIEW – My daughter is a serious up-and-coming soccer player, and she attends weekly practices and plays many games and tournaments.

REVIEW – Reverse engineering things is difficult. I know because I’ve tried it with very simple objects, and it was still very difficult. It’s so much easier when you have a 3D scanner. So, when the Creality Sermoon S1 3D Scanner came up for review, I was eager to try it. It’s the first 3D

REVIEW – About a year ago, I reviewed a portable mini blower/vac and really loved it. But as things generally happen around my house, things get borrowed, not put back, left where electronics should not be left, and are found quite some time later to discover they no longer work. I’m not pointing fingers, but
