REVIEW – These things come in waves. OK, that’s my one dad joke per review. Seriously, though, we tend to get a lot of similar products to review simultaneously. Sometimes they are variants of robot vacuums, and on other days it is a collection of power distribution blocks. The flavor of the day today is the …
REVIEW – Question: when is a tablet not a tablet? When it becomes a workstation. That’s the goal of the Satechi Aluminum Stand Hub for iPad Pro (more on the post “for” in a moment). The first question inevitably leads to the next questions – why would you want to do that and is it …

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – In the hyper-connected world we live in, it is not an uncommon scenario for us to be working across multiple devices simultaneously, and doing that while on the go. That level of productivity often comes with compromises – you can focus on one device that is handy, but have to physically shift …

REVIEW – Everyone has a story to tell. Whether that’s your profession (vocalist, podcaster, or content producer) or your hobby (storyteller, singer/songwriter or gamer), you need a clear, strong voice to give to the world. Price tag does not always mean better, and the Samson Q9U tries to straddle the border between professional-grade sound and …

REVIEW – A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Since then, it has continued to increase to the point where my doctor would like me to regularly check and monitor. I’ve tried products offered by chain drug stores but all have proven to be wildly inaccurate. When I was offered …

REVIEW – Question: what makes a device “smart”? Answer: it all depends on who you ask – the one selling a device or the one wanting to buy it. The Cosori Smart Electric Gooseneck Kettle has “smart” right there in the product name. Is it? Read on to find out… What is it? The Cosori …

REVIEW – Thanks to a virus (and shades of 2020) I lost a lot of my hearing on one side. Headphones and earbuds don’t provide much help for this condition – in order to get something akin to a stereo experience I have to crank the balance way over to the side and turn the …
REVIEW – Where I work, randomization and context-switching are the orders of the day. Sometimes it is hard to change your focus to a new task, and with age that only becomes more difficult. The science behind tDCS says that it can help with that, and more specifically, the LIFTiD headset says it will sharpen …

REVIEW – It seems the most neglected category of computer these days is the desktop. In a mad rush to put everyone into a laptop or tablet, manufacturers have left the desktop market to those who want to build their own custom rig or to bland offerings that do little to distinguish themselves from the …
REVIEW – When you have a flagship phone, you want to show it off. Traditional phone cases tend to add bulk and make your investment look bland and ordinary. Wraps, on the other hand, can give your gadget a distinctive look and even a new feel. Toast – who makes wraps for pretty much anything …
REVIEW – It seems almost weird to be writing about travel gadgets in the world today. But, to paraphrase Jonathan Coulton, we won’t always be this way. So, with a hopeful eye to the future, we’ll look at the Leopara Makeup Lighting System – a grand name for a simple device that’ll make you wonder …

REVIEW: Good things come in plain packaging. At least, that’s what I’ve been told. With the crazy state of the world today, I have been looking for a work at home solution that frees me from my desk – the mostly immobile desk. A mobile desk would allow me to work outside in the morning …
REVIEW – Back when your computer came with a horrible native sound system, the name to beat for a replacement sound cards was the SoundBlaster series by Creative Labs. If you played any games or watched movies (as best you could) on your computer in the late 80’s, odds are you had the SoundBlaster 1.0. …
REVIEW – The STM in the name STM Goods stands for Smarter Than Most. The ChargeTree is their latest product, a smart wireless charger specifically aimed at your Apple products. I am a big fan of doing more and doing it more efficiently, so being able to charge 3 devices on one unit appeals to …
