REVIEW – The jury is still out on why Apple’s AirTags need an accessory to be able to attach to anything, but it does create an opportunity for the accessory companies out there. There’s a ton of silicone and leather holders, but Nomad’s Leather Loop is different, minimalistic and very secure. Let’s look closer. What

REVIEW – A few months ago, I installed a Honeywell WiFi thermostat in my home. Shortly after summer started, I began to get alerts on my phone from the thermostat about the high humidity in my house. I quickly decided that I needed a dehumidifier. Before I could purchase one, I got the opportunity to

REVIEW – I’ve always thought graphing calculators just looked cool. I can also say I’ve never had to use one for anything other than normal calculator functions. My son on the other hand starting using one for Calculus in high school and has since pretty much had to use it daily. When this NumWorks Graphing

REVIEW – I’ve been working on doing more videos to go along with my photography, but the one thing I’ve been lacking has been a decent wireless microphone system. The SYNCO G2 A2 wireless microphone system review offer came along, so I figured I give it a good test. What is it? The SYNCO G2

NEWS – Prompting the question, “Why?”, Amazon recently introduced a connected soap dispenser. Don’t get me wrong – I love internet-connected things. My whole house is automated. I even tried an Alexa-enabled device for the shower, but that crashed, quite literally. But not everything needs to be connected. Amazon is back at it with their

REVIEW – I use a Q-tip every day to clean my ears after I get out of the shower. It’s always a quick swipe and into the trash it goes. Have you ever wondered how many Q-tips wind up in the garbage each year? I didn’t either until I was asked by LastObject if I

NEWS – When I think of Pelican, I immediately think of their heavy-duty plastic cases that are used to protect expensive gear. But that’s not the only type of protective storage product that Pelican makes. They also make “softer” gear like these new rugged camera lens covers that have been designed to protect 67mm to

REVIEW: The best thing I can tell you about the Kyvol AF600 air fryer is this – when Kyvol accidentally sent me two of them, my daughter who helped me test it was almost ticked that I was ‘Mr. honest’ and sent one back. She recovered and may be getting a Kyvol. Her help was

REVIEW – If I had a dollar for every time I went camping or took a trip and had a bad experience with a cooler and ice, I would have at least three dollars. Traditional coolers can have a variety of issues like leaks, soggy food from melting ice, broken backs from the weight of

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Maybe you watched the Queen’s Gambit, maybe you’ve always been into it, or maybe your kid dragged you into it like me. Chess is an awesome game that seems to increasingly sink it’s teeth into you the more you play. If you haven’t used a clock when playing, I think you’ll be

NEWS – So the WalkinPod Mesh with Bug-Screens is a real thing. I did a double-take and started laughing when I first saw the photo in a CNET post. Apparently, the product was released in preparation for the Brood X cicadas. I commented to my husband that it looks like someone flipped a mesh clothes

REVIEW – Ten years ago (has it been 10 years?), I reviewed Bowers & Wilkins first earphones—the C5. They sounded good but were not comfortable for my ears. I couldn’t really enjoy them for more than an hour. Fast forward to now—B&W has come out with their first wireless earphones, the PI5 and PI7 (reviewed

ARTICLE – I’ve discovered a real fondness for leather products, but it is so very difficult to find high-quality well-made leather goods. That’s where companies like Saddleback Leather (Dave Munson and his wife, Suzette’s company) and Love41 (which features Suzette’s designs for women) come into the picture. They make some of the best-made leather goods
REVIEW – Good posture is very important when you’re working long hours at a computer. Raising your computer monitor to the right height can make a big difference in neck and back pain that can come up when you’re not seated properly. Of course, you could use a stack of phone books or boxes but

REVIEW – One day a few years ago my campus went into lockdown for seven hours. Nothing happened other than a bit of panic, the local police getting some practice and some very ruined trashcans, but there was a lot of turn taking at the power outlets in the room. After that experience, I try
