I’ve always loved remote controlled toys, and my son (age 10) has always had a fascination with tanks. Recently he made a Lego tank of his own design, complete with the treads. When I saw the Galaxy ZEGA remote control tank game, I knew I had to give it a try.

Not too long ago I bought what I thought was a pricey insulated cup for my cold drinks. When I spotted the Takeya ThermoTumbler 20 oz., I thought “this looks familiar”, so I thought I’d see if there were any differences.

I’m not much of a gamer anymore, but my son (currently age 10) enjoys playing Minecraft and asked for an alternative to the flat-keyed Apple USB keyboard. I thought this would be a great time to take a closer look at a mechanical keyboard- in this case, the Drevo Gramr 84-key Backlit Mechanical Keyboard.

I like simple phone cases. Unfortunately, most cases kind of detract from the original, simple lines of the iPhone. The Terrapin TPU cases are simple and effective. Let’s take a look.

Let’s get this out of the way: I cannot wear earbuds. Well, I can, but I simply choose not to. I’m an over-the-ear kind of headphone fan. But, tiny earbuds that don’t even have a cord? Let’s see what this is about.

My son Joey is now 10, and like many his age, loves Minecraft. I’ve seen other attempts at creating educational products with Minecraft, but nothing quite like the Piper Computer kit. A “build it yourself” computer that plays Minecraft? I decided to take a hands-off approach and let my son build it all by himself.

In the world of cylindrical bluetooth speakers, the Logitech UE Boom I reviewed is the first that usually comes to my mind. It had great 360 degree sound plus a waterproof design. Today I look at the JBL Charge 3 waterproof portable bluetooth speaker to see how it holds up in the crowded world of

This summer I bought my son a remote controlled car. Soon, I thought “what if I could attach a camera to it?” I already had GoPro cameras, but I wasn’t sure mounting them to a zippy kid’s toy that’s prone to crashing. Fortunately, I had the chance to review the Campark Sports Camera, which boasts

Back in 2015, I moved into my remodeled home and discovered various ethernet issues with the wiring in the house. Thankfully, I had some help with the Fluke LinkSprinter 300 network tester. But what if you need some help troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues? With the Netscout Aircheck G2, now you’ve got some help.

In my recording/audio booth, I’m constantly finding ways to make things a little more efficient in such a tiny, 5×5 foot space. I like to keep my hands free when recording, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to try out the Kinesis Savant Elite2 Dual Pedal.

If I’ve said once, I’ve said it a hundred times: One of the first rules in audio is to put the sound where the people are. The same goes for microphone placement. Sometimes, the microphone built in to your smartphone just won’t cut it. The iRig Mic Lav microphone kit allows daisy-chaining two lavaliere microphones

Ever try to enter in your username and password using nothing more than a handheld remote? I have several bluetooth keyboards I could use with my various streaming devices, such as Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV, but I never seem to have one handy. The iPazzPort is a Bluetooth keyboard that comes with two

I don’t like putting keys in my pockets. Since I don’t always carry a bag, I’ve been looking for a clever way to keys onto things. But what if you could combine both? That’s where the Fortius Arms KeyBiner Carabiner comes in.

What is it with strange looking bluetooth speakers? Earlier this year I had a chance to listen to the hole-in-the-middle Fluance Fi70. This time, we’re going to look at the distinctively angular Nyne Rebel splashproof portable Bluetooth speaker.

I generally avoid two things when it comes to headphones: I steer clear of closed-ear models, as well as brands I’ve never heard of. The Plugged Crown headphones are closed design, and Plugged doesn’t exactly enjoy the name-brand recognition as Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, etc. Still, there was something about the appearance I kind of liked,

Your eyes do not deceive you. There’s a hole in this speaker. The first time our own Bill Henderson mentioned the Fluance Fi70, I knew I just had to try it. But would the unusual looks translate into a something that sounded decent? I’ve got enough speakers. Why would I want another? I told myself I

“Want to dim your lights but don’t have a dimmer switch installed? Too bad! Until now.” That’s the tagline of the Nanoleaf Bloom, an odd-looking LED bulb that you can dim just by flicking a switch. How does this work? Let’s find out.

Our sewer line needed replacing recently. The plumbers used a really long “snake” with a camera at the end to see where they were going. I have no plans to repair toilets or examine indoor plumbing, but the Aardvark HD3M waterproof wireless inspection camera might take me places I never thought possible.

I seem to be on a bit of a wireless headphone binge lately. Earlier this year I got to try out the JBL Everest Elite 700 headphones, which I liked quite a bit. Today I’ve got my hands on a pair of Samson RTE2 wireless headphones. They’re not around-the-ear headphones that I prefer, but the

There’s a never-ending stream of “smart” or robot-themed building toys out there, but there’s just something different about the Modular Robotics Cubelets. I think it’s because out of the box, they just plain work the way you’d expect with minimal effort.
