So, you’ve bought a new PC (or a Mac), set it up and all is well. Or is it? What if you come up short of needed ports or have the wrong kind of ports? EZQuest has a possible solution—the EZQuest Ultimate Plus Dual HDMI USB-C Multimedia Hub Adapter. This mouthful of a hub will provide dual 4K HDMI ports for either extending or mirroring the computer display to (up to four) external displays, TV or projector. It comes with four USB 3.0 ports, a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connection, a read-and-write SDHC or Micro SDHC card reader, a USB-C 3.0 port, and a 3.5 audio jack with a mic. If that’s not enough, EZQuest has covered all the bases by including a VGA port—remember those? Even older monitors can connect.

Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels
If you’re looking for ways to decorate with light, an excellent option is the Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels. I’ve had a set in my office since I reviewed them last year and I still love the huge range of lighting setups I can do with them. Govee has a large and growing library of animated “scenes”, including music-responsive modes that would be perfect for the Valentine’s holiday (and year round for that matter). I like the “campfire” scene, the deep orange and reds glowing and flickering like a fire would be a great mood-setter.
In addition to beautiful ambient room lighting, I use mine as illumination for remote work video calls since they’re on the wall facing me, and can fine tune the color to compensate for the monitor’s light cast on my face. The flexibility of placement is also fantastic, you can do any pattern you’d like (following a hexagonal structure) and you can even add more panels as needed. Each panel also has multiple lighting zones as you can see in the picture above, as well as light that’s thrown back onto the wall or ceiling around the panels themselves.
The Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels are going to make a great Father’s Day gift for anyone who appreciates massively flexible and eye-pleasing lighting. They’re also on sale for Father’s Day, which is like an extra present for you.

ARLO Essential XL Wireless Camera (2nd Generation)
One of the tenets of Fatherhood is responsibility for the safety and security of the family. I have discussed the challenges of maintaining the security of my home with other parents and there is a consensus that it is not easy and another pair of eyes would be very helpful. Now, as a fully remote worker and a dog owner, there are the additional challenges of seeing who is at the door without interrupting my work and keeping an eye on the dog while no one else is home. The Arlo Essential XL Wireless Camera (2nd Generation) is a great Father’s Day gift because it can handle each of these tasks, and provide peace of mind that everything is secure.
The Arlo Essential XL Wireless Camera provides a 2K camera with Color Night Vision capability. This camera is battery powered so it can go almost anywhere a 2.4 GHz 2 Mbps signal is available. The camera design is hardened against the elements for use outdoors all year long and the newly enlarged battery capacity means this camera may be used for up to 16 months between charges. The camera comes with a ball and socket mount so that the camera position can be freely adjusted to obtain the optimal view. The 130º field of view captures a wide shot and the 12X zoom power enables the user to scrutenize the tiniest details.
The Arlo Essential XL Wireless Camera also has an integrated spotlight to identify details in low light, a built-in siren, a loudspeaker, and a noise-canceling microphone to permit the app user to conduct two-way communications with the camera. The Arlo Secure app allows users to access the Arlo NVR, get notifications of activity (people, packages, or vehicles) detected by the camera, and summon 24/7 live security experts to send police, fire, or medical responders to the camera location. The Arlo service also works with Alexa, IFTTT, and Google Home. After the trial, a paid plan is required to keep premium features.

Manly Bands
If you’re looking for something for the father, father figure, or “daddy” in your life, you might just want to check out Manly Bands this Father’s Day. You’ll find your classic gold, titanium, and silver rings here, but their themed collections have definitely caught my eye. From Lord of the Rings, JEEP, and Jack Daniels rings to DC superhero themes, there are unique ring styles for anyone. I love that you can find rings with rare woods, antlers, meteorites, and even exotic things like genuine WWII Sherman Tank metal! If your intended gift recipient is an outdoorsman, Tolkien fan (cough … nerd … cough), or anything in between (like me, I’m as happy reading Alan Moore written Batman comics as I am climbing a mountain), Manly Bands is going to have something unique and exciting for them! They even throw in a free silicone band with every purchase, perfect for when you don’t want to risk that special ring on an adventure (or while using power tools, etc.). If anyone reading this happens to be shopping for me, I’ve got my eye on “The Gimli™️”, a subtle-but-mesmerizing Black Zirconium with Gold Cerakote featuring Gimli’s crest:

Free Fly Apparel Men’s Cloudshield Rain Jacket
I live in the Pacific Northwest so it rains here a lot. Having a good rain jacket is a must but they tend to sound like you’re wearing a trash bag. The Free Fly Apparel Cloudshield rain jacket fixes that with their whisper quiet waterproof 3-layer shell. It sports 2 way stretch fabric for increased mobility, 16,000mm waterproof rating, YKK waterproof zippers in front and pockets, and a rear hood cinch. With just a t-shirt it actually provided some decent warmth in rainy 62F weather.
The Free Fly Cloudshield comes in four colors, Black Sand, Dark Olive, Heron Blue, and Storm Cloud. I chose Heron Blue which in the product pictures is a light blue however upon arrival the color seems to be more of a light purplish grey. It’s odd to have that much difference in the website pictures and the actual product but I still like it. I do wish they had some brighter color options though such as red or orange.
It runs a little small and is more of an athletic cut so if you want to add layers I would recommend sizing up. I am 6’ tall, 195lbs, 42in chest, 34in true waist, and 36in hips. With a thin nano puff jacket underneath it fits snug in the chest but not tight and no restrictions in movement. I really like the cuffs which instead of the normal velcro it has stretchy elastic to keep the cuffs snug and off my hands. I’m definitely wearing The Free Fly Cloudshield this Fathers Day when I take my son to soccer and flag football in the rain. I’m also going to use it for disc golf since it is super light and if it’s not raining it easily compresses down for storage in my pack. Free Fly also makes fishing-inspired clothing with sun protection to keep Dad from getting sunburned, so check them out this Father’s Day.

Scosche MagicMount Flask
This year, for Father’s Day, give Dad an extra hand with the Scosche MagicMount Flask. Yes, in a kind of wacky but kind of genius move, Scosche has taken its popular MagSafe MagicMount and stuck it on top of a double wall insulated water bottle. That means your water bottle can hold your phone if you want to watch videos, or you can use it like a tripod to hold your phone while you shoot videos or take a Zoom meeting. You can also put the bottle in your car’s cup holder and use it as a hands-free phone mount. I always forget a phone mount when I go on vacation, but I never forget a water bottle, so if I take this one, I’ve got both!
The bottle comes in 22 or 32 oz sizes and will keep drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24. It features a BPA free sipping straw and food grade stainless steel construction. You can sip while your phone is mounted, and the magnets are strong enough to mount a full bottle to a metal surface, in case you need to do that. The protective silicone cup on the bottom can even be removed and used as a water bowl for Dad’s best friend. But what if Dad hasn’t become part of the iPhone cult….I mean family? It comes with a MagicRing adapter. The MagicMount by Scosche is quite the multi-tasker!

DCK KRH20V-26 cordless rotary hammer
This coming Father’s Day is a good time to get the DIYer in your life a useful tool that will help with those chores that would be costly if not for the right tool. How often have you heard your DIYer say I don’t have the right tool for this job will be too costly because I don’t have the right tool.
One such job is hanging or attaching items to a brick wall. Regular drills don’t cut it if the hole has to go right through the wall.
This Father’s Day, give your DIYer the extra special gift of a DCK Cordless Brushless Rotary Hammer. It features a high-performance brushless motor with a fast drilling capacity in concrete with 2.1 ft. lbs. of impact energy. You can also use it to drill in wood, metal, and other hard materials.

Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning Tool
The Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning tool will make Dad happy for two reasons. First of all, it will save him time and secondly, it makes cleaning gutters easier. Usually, the chore of cleaning the gutters brings with it the task of dragging out an extension ladder, but with the Gutter Sense, Dad will keep his feet firmly on the ground. This tool fits on a pole (not included) and is like a pair of salad tongs that can grab leaves and other accumulated material in the gutter.
Our own Bob Patterson did an in-depth Gutter Sense Gutter Cleaning tool review and this is what he had to say about it:
The Gutter Sense is wonderfully simple to operate, but it does take a few minutes of practice. You’ll probably need to work around some of those support rods in your gutter, and spend a little time getting used to positioning the tongs properly. Fortunately, the lightweight unit is easy to maneuver, and the tongs respond with a simple light pull.
Gutter Sense is proudly made in the USA and all components and labor are sourced in the Chicago area.
