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.

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

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,

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,

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

REVIEW – Wireless chargers are here to stay and we’ve reviewed countless here at the Gadgeteer. Usually they are stands, pucks, catchalls or some combination. Or maybe they charge multiple devices at once and as a result take up some real estate. But what if it didn’t take up any space at all? At least

REVIEW – Did you ever play Connect Four when you were a kid? It was a vertical game where you dropped checker-like disks between the plastic layers to arrange them in rows of 4.

REVIEW – Winter is here! Temperatures are dropping below freezing at night! That can only mean one thing: It’s entirely too cold in my bathroom when I want to take a shower in the morning. I’m hoping that the solution to my cold problem is Gladle’s new space heater. What is it? The Gladle space
