REVIEW – Projectors have always seemed magical to me. Maybe it’s the size of the image, or hanging the bedsheet at a sleepover for a late night viewing. Classrooms were always set up to cover windows and dim the lights, whereas getting a projector set up at home always tended to bring out the flaws […]

REVIEW – As someone who is just about to hit the half century mark, I started needing reading glasses over the last couple years. I’ve been near-sighted since 3rd grade and have worn a combination of glasses and contacts ever since. Prior to all this work-from-home business, I would wear contacts every day, relegating my

REVIEW – Our household is one of mountain bikers, skaters, runners and climbers. It should come as no surprise that we are frequently sore and often nursing some adverse result of our beloved activities. We have a variety of foam and hand rollers, tens units and deep tissue leverage devices along with the requisite hot

REVIEW – We’re all spending a lot more time in video conferences lately. Are you happy with how you appear in your conferences? Do you know the resolution of the camera in your laptop? Different manufacturers call out the specs in different ways so you might not have a real answer. If you need to

REVIEW – My daughter has routinely been the recipient of whatever iPhone I’ve moved on from. It’s worked out well in general up until the last one which developed a green line on the left of the screen after one drop. A few more drops and it finally gave out and we decided to get

REVIEW – If you take a lot of videos, a gimbal can be an amazing tool to smooth out panning motions resulting in something much more pleasant to watch (content not considered). Seems fitting then that Zhiyun’s new gimbal is called Smooth X. I was able to check out this little gem over the past

REVIEW – If you’ve been a long-time MacBook user then you’re familiar with the way Apple makes port changes to their line. It’s a no-looking-back approach that can be refreshing and frustrating at the same time. The switch to USB-C was one that visually cleaned up the sides of their laptops leaving only the headphone

REVIEW – Fluidstance got their start over five years ago with balance boards designed for use at standing desks. As someone who has always been engaged in sideways sports those seemed completely natural to me, in addition to keeping my ankles much happier, but I digress. This review is about their new whiteboard called Slope.

REVIEW – While we may take it for granted, air is a vital part of our daily lives. If sleeping is when your body recovers and repairs itself, it only makes sense that improvements to the air in your sleeping environment can make a significant difference. Partu offered up their BS-10 HEPA Air Purifier for

REVIEW – I really like connecting to external monitors when jumping into a project or researching anything that requires multiple windows being open. I don’t like connecting multiple cables to make that happen, so a good hub, dock or adapter is required for USB-C laptops. Aukey has a newer hub aimed at that exact problem

REVIEW – I’ve always liked larger, take-up-the-whole-wrist watches, but the few I own have gone unworn since getting my Apple watch. I recently passed my Dad’s Shinola Argonite to my son who has this unexplained connection and appreciation to all things analog. It felt good to give him something that his Grandfather wore daily. The

REVIEW – The devices we love always seem to need a charge. From iPhone or Android to tablets and laptops, they all need power. USB-C power banks have changed things in that you can juice up your USB-C laptop now, but what if your laptop isn’t USB-C equipped? Enter the PD Pioneer from RAVPower complete

REVIEW – Do you still carry keys? These days the only keys I use regularly are for my e-bikes and bike locks. When you don’t need to carry keys daily, it can be hard to remember to grab them on the way out. Your choices are to come up with a way to remember, or

NEWS – Quite a few companies have integrated the Alexa voice assistant into speakers since Amazon opened up the program, but this sure looks like the most metal version I’ve seen. The Uxbridge Voice is a compact Bluetooth speaker from Marshall with the Amazon Alexa assistant built-in. Marshall is arguably the most well-known performance audio

REVIEW – Wireless earbuds are clearly here to stay but not all are created equal or even a one-fits-everyone affair. True wireless earbuds without connecting wires push those statements even further as losing one can wreck your day and dent your wallet. Many companies have added ear hooks to their true wireless solutions to help

REVIEW – A phone is only as good as its battery, which is why there are so many third party battery solutions out there. The trick is that they only work if you have all the parts with you. Xvida has a whole charging system including car, desk and wall mount solutions and they sent

REVIEW – Good headphones used to cost a pretty penny, and you’ll have no problem finding many that do. Adding active Noise Cancellation (ANC) just raises that price even more. That’s no longer the case. There are many good headphones available, with and without ANC and at all price points. The new challenge is finding

REVIEW – Can you have too many wall chargers? If your household is at all like mine, the answer is probably no. Between leaving one behind, or switching bags it’s a good idea to have one or two spares on hand. The newer crop of PD wall chargers is an excellent excuse to go ahead
