REVIEW – Lately, I find myself entangled in a net of cables and a pile of power supplies.

REVIEW – A few years ago, I explored Lovesac furniture and fell in love with its easy assembly, removable cushion covers, and configuration options; however, the price tag was more than my budget would allow.

REVIEW – I recently saw a video where some unscrupulous folks cut off a driver, threw their vehicle in reverse, and rammed another car (watch the video here). It was a blatant attempt at insurance fraud, and I have no doubt the victim was very thankful to have a dash cam like VIOFO’s A329S on
