REVIEW – Ever since the beginning of the human race, the ability to make fire has been a key ingredient to our survival and progress. Fire (and the heat it produces) makes food safer and better tasting. There’s no better illustration of using fire to cook than the backyard barbecue. It satisfies that primitive desire …
REVIEW – We live pretty far out in the sticks which definitely comes with its pluses and minuses. One of the biggest hassles being when the power goes out. Now I grant you this occasionally happens to everyone but one tree can take us off the grid for days, if not weeks at a time. …

ARTICLE – Last week we posted part 1 of a Gadgeteer team group article where we show our phone home screens and talk about the layout we’ve chosen. Now it’s time for part 2. Enjoy! Bill Henderson I try to organize my home screen so I know where everything is. The problem arises when anything …

NEWS – I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I was a kid, my parents didn’t have a lot of money which meant that we didn’t have a lot of toys. At least not the toys I really wanted, like LEGO. So my sister and I made our own models and miniatures …

REVIEW – One thing you can never take for granted is your health. Without good health, life gets a lot more complicated. That’s why they recommend a physical every year, preventative medicine, and routine monitoring. This current Covid-crazy world we live in has complicated some of that with some medical professionals switching to telemedicine. That …
REVIEW – Earlier this year I was able to upgrade to a new 16-inch MacBookPro for my work computer. I love this laptop; it’s fast, powerful, and responsive, a perfect computer for programming and engineering work. Like all Apple laptops, it suffers from a shortage of ports; it has four Thunderbolt 3 ports with USB-C …

REVIEW – When I get interested in a topic, I go into full research mode and want to try every product in that category to find my favorite. I do that with software and apps, and lately, I’ve been doing the same thing with low carb protein bars. Why low carb? Because I’m pre-diabetic and …

NEWS – Santa (and by Santa, I mean me) brought me a pair of Apple AirPod Pro earbuds for Christmas. They are the first AirPods I’ve tried and I’m pretty smitten with them. But there’s no way I’d wear them while running or riding a bike because the fit isn’t super secure in my weirdly …

REVIEW – I have lots of headphones (at least 9 sets) that hang around my workstation. I use wall mounted hangers for most of them, but it would be nice to have a desktop headphone stand for my daily use headphones. The Raptic Rise Headphone Stand and wireless charger is not just a headphone stand, …

NEWS – Elago has brought a nostalgic retro look to a variety of Apple products in recent years. This time around, they set their sights on the Apple TV. The T4 Apple TV case transforms your Apple TV into a classic Super NES console. Well, it isn’t functional, which would be quite a trick for …
REVIEW – I’ve been on a health kick for the last few months after finding out that my A1C had gone up .2 from 5.7 in 2019 to 5.9 in 2020. Luckily, I’m still pre-diabetic as I’ve been for the past 16yrs and since I don’t want to become a full diabetic, I’ve been focusing …
REVIEW – For years I have used different Wifi cameras to monitor my home when I am gone. Usually, it’s to watch the cats and make sure they have food and water, but there’s peace of mind in seeing your place is safe and secure. The cameras I have are a few years old now, …
NEWS – What are Gadgeteers best know for? Their technical prowess? Nah. Their amazing financial success? Probably not. No – it’s their amazing fashion sense. The catwalks of Paris and Milan pale in comparison to a sidewalk full of Gadgeteers! Here’s something that should be in every fashion-heavy Gadgeteer’s wardrobe – the 4 Eyed beanie! …

REVIEW – For years I have mounted several of my computer monitors on wall mounts, but my TVs have remained on stands. Now I am moving into a new home and my plan is to have just about every TV mounted on a wall. I also want to be able to tilt and swivel the …

REVIEW – Open WiFi is a beautiful thing. When traveling, you no longer have to carry an ethernet cable and be tethered to the desk in the hotel room. Just about every hotel offers free WiFi so you can plop on the marginally comfortable bed or likely uncomfortable couch and surf away. But today, you …
