REVIEW – Any time there’s a new iPhone or iPad, there’s the obvious excitement over the latest generation of device, but for me it’s also when I get to see what new cases and innovations Pitaka has brought to the game. Earlier this year the latest iPad Pro M4 was introduced in 11″ and 13″ […]

REVIEW – SoCal has HARD water. Enough so that we have mineral deposits on the water fixtures and our fridge’s ice maker refuses to function. Every now and then a review opportunity comes along that simply could not be timed better. This was exactly the case with the E-3000UV from Kind Water Systems. My wife
REVIEW – You’ve probably used a french press to make coffee at some point by now. You’ve probably also used a thermos to keep your precious coffee hot. What would you say if I told you they could be the same thing and make great cups (plural) of coffee? Enter the BruTrek 48 from Planetary

REVIEW – A good case keeps your iPad safe in transit and can improve ergonomics and efficiency in use. MAGEASY’s new Facet Folding Folio Case ticks both boxes and their EasyPaper Pro also pulls double duty by protecting your screen and providing a paper like feel when using your Apple Pencil. I was able to
REVIEW – Swytch is at it again. Their brand new GO kit makes it even easier to transform your favorite bicycle into an eBike. You get a motor-driven front wheel, their newest frame-mounted battery pack and everything else you need for way less than the cost of a new eBike. Jump in to see what’s

REVIEW – Breaking into the webcam space is not a trivial undertaking as there are some legacy brands to contend with. If this is the first time you’ve seen the name Obsbot, I encourage you to keep reading. They’ve been putting consistently putting out quality product and the Tiny 2 Lite is no exception. More

REVIEW – There are few things that bring me as much happiness as riding bicycles. When it comes to running errands, a cargo ebike removes a lot of hurdles and even may create an opportunity for removing the need for a car. The Flyer Via is a great example. It’s a kid carrier out of
DEAL NEWS – I read Julie’s review of her RingConn Smart Ring review when she posted it back in March and was intrigued. You should definitely give it a look. About a week later I found out that I’d be going on trip to Africa with a group from work where we’ll be off-grid for

REVIEW – Do you have a standing desk? Do you actively adjust settings during the day? Check and check. What if your chair could do the same? The how may not immediately come into view, but the LeanRite Elite Standing Chair from ErgoImpact can morph into each of the positions needed to support seated, leaning
REVIEW – Have you been wanting an air fryer? Maybe you’ve been concerned that they’re a hassle to clean and maintain? Well Fritaire’s Self-Cleaning Glass Bowl Air Fryer tackles both of those in a single product. What is it? Talk about your self-descriptive product names… The Fritaire Self-Cleaning Glass Bowl Air Fryer is an air

REVIEW – As our phones become more and more integrated into how we operate our vehicles it becomes increasingly important to have them securely mounted to the dash within sight and out of hand. Finding the right solution for your particular car can be tricky, but Pitaka has a new entry to help. With both

REVIEW – If you’ve spent any time on an ebike, I don’t have to tell you how fun they are. I have a few now and with or without pedals they simply put a smile on your face while getting you where you need to go, or just out and around for the day. When
Himiway C1 Kids eBike review – Pint sized power without pedals Read More
REVIEW – Phones cost enough that a case is all but required to protect your investment. That doesn’t mean you can’t still show off your phone or your personal style. ESR’s Classic Hybrid MagSafe Case offers lots of protection in a clear package and for my review they also sent along their Power Bank Wallet

REVIEW – Minimalist wallets have been a thing for a while now, but the thing is many of us need more than 2 to 3 cards on us. ID, main credit card and… how do you down-select? Medical, EV Valet, corporate cc? Okay, need a bigger wallet. So here’s an interesting option from Mbacco. Compact
Mbacco Wallet review – Not too big or too small, exactly right Read More
REVIEW – 3D printers just keep getting better and better. The best machine is still likely to be one you already have and know how to use, but if you’re looking for new features or faster speeds, or are just getting ready to drop cash on your first printer, there’s never been a better time.

REVIEW – Have you upgraded to a standing desk yet? Sitting in one position for too long isn’t good, so it’s worth investigation. I switched a few years ago and haven’t looked back. We recently converted a bedroom into an office for my wife using some extra mismatched desks from lockdown times. It was time

REVIEW – Think about where you clock most of your hours. Sleep and work probably rank right up there. Your desk might be for work or gaming but either way it’s a lot of time sitting and in my opinion quality and good ergonomics are worth paying for. Secretlab’s TITAN Evo gaming chair recently arrived

REVIEW – Late last year (2022) the FDA issued a final rule that improves access to hearing aids with the creation of a new category OTC or Over-The-Counter where devices can be purchased without medical approval. The Alpha Pros from ELEHEAR fall into that category and at $999 they seem like a bargain compared to

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance

REVIEW – Most external monitors (even the fancy ones) don’t have built-in webcams, and if they do it’s nothing to write home about. Most laptops do have one built in, but they’re almost always just “good-enough”. Even a great, built-in webcam cannot match what’s possible for a webcam with a cutting edge image sensor, gimbal,
