Despite the power-hungry gadget count in my home, I don’t have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). I just never got around to it. Power outages aren’t very common where I live. However, my son has been doing a lot of writing for homework on the computer, and it would be a shame to lose his […]

I knew a co-worker who swore by those misshapen “ergonomic” keyboards. I never quite understood them until I saw the Kinesis Advantage keyboard about 10 years ago in person. I was intrigued by the dual concave shape and layout. I finally got to try the latest version, the Advantage2.

Many years ago I created my own “wake up light” by setting up a timer to a lamp next to my bed. It was clumsy and blasted full light in the morning. Now there’s a more refined way to achieve the same results with the IPEAK wake up light.

One feature I miss on my iPhone is the LED “blinky” that lets you know if you’ve got a message waiting, missed call, etc. This was one of my favorite Blackberry features. What if you could add some light to your computer in the same way? Today I’ve got my hands on the Luxafor Flag

I was not prepared for this. I thought I was going to review a rugged Bluetooth speaker. I didn’t expect to unpack something that looked AND felt this rugged. This is the DreamWave Tremor- probably the only Bluetooth speaker I’ve tried that could double as a battering ram.

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.

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

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?
