REVIEW – I have a few portable speakers, including a small, black one that I use in the garage, a round, cylindrical black speaker in the back room, and an over-the-top giant speaker from Costco that’s mostly black. What caught my eye about the Xinborry M10Pro Bluetooth Speaker was its design. It looked like something […]

REVIEW – I sold my Macbook and went all in using an iPad Pro 11″ as my main machine. It’s been a good transition, often causing me to come up with some creative ways to re-do my workflow. I love the portability and “spontaneous-ness” of using the iPad. Still, often I’m concerned about scratching or

REVIEW – Recently, I installed a fingerprint smart lock on my garage access door, and it’s been so convenient! But for some family members, the fingerprint reader is a hit or miss. When the TCL D1 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock came up for a review, I knew I wanted to try it. How well did

REVIEW – Since the pandemic, my employer shifted some of us to work from home, at least part of the time. Over time, my at-home setup is much better than what I had in the office. One of the perks of working from home is that I don’t need to work about making too much

REVIEW – My iPad is usually attached to the Magic Keyboard, but it’s not really conducive to taking handwritten notes or drawing. I was looking for something that I could put my iPad in that would give me some protection, allow for easier note-taking and drawing, and be slim enough to slip in my bag

REVIEW – I reviewed a projector last year (Heyup Boxe Lite Smart Projector) and called out a missed opportunity by not having the option to be battery-powered. Having a small, portable, and fully wireless option (no power cable, no HDMI or signal cable), would make these types of portable projectors even more desirable. When the

REVIEW – I have a detached garage with a side access door. I need to unlock and lock this door a few times a day, and not having my keys with me means an extra trip into the house. Granted, this is not a huge deal, but if I could cut out this inconvenience, that

REVIEW – I’m a gadget geek. I like playing around with products that offer something different or can provide a different use case. I wanted to review the AGM Pad T2 tablet because of the cellular functionality and form factor. I was intrigued about having a bigger device than my phone that is always connected

REVIEW – With the holidays coming up, I will be shipping more packages. Usually, I print a copy of the shipping label on regular paper only to cut it out and then run strips of packing tape across it, sealing it to the box. That’s only after I’ve had to print it a couple of

REVIEW – Since retiring from coaching basketball years ago, I’ve picked up photography to fill my “spare time”. I have so many favorite pictures from the past 10 years that stay on my external drive, not being displayed or enjoyed. To print, frame, and display my favorite pictures would cost too much money and I

REVIEW – Recently I changed from a bigger laptop to a smaller, lighter one. Being thin and light has its advantages, but being “port-friendly” is not one of them. Having only two Thunderbolt USB-C ports available puts a strain on connecting all the different things to my laptop when I’m at home. I have a

REVIEW – I’m at that age where reading glasses, or readers, have become absolutely necessary when wearing my contacts. My contacts allow me to see everything from about two feet to long distance with clarity. But anything closer than twenty-four inches is fuzzy and nearly impossible for me to distinguish. I can’t tell you the

REVIEW – You may have noticed from a previous review (link)that we have a puppy and our son and his girlfriend frequently bring their dog over. Our house is “cozy,” and we could easily get overwhelmed by the smells of all sorts of things. To keep the air in our home clean and fresh, I

REVIEW – Vacuums are a necessity. They are usually heavily function-based, designed to clean, clunky, and cumbersome to use. The Ultenic U16 Flex Cordless Vacuum is part of the new design of vacuums that deliver on being lightweight, easy to use, and maybe even enjoyable to use. How well did this newer design and functionality

REVIEW – While visiting my brother over the summer, I helped him hang some cabinets. He brought out a laser level and I was impressed by how well it worked. I have a few of the smaller 6 inch “manual” levels as well as a wooden 4 foot level passed down to me from a

REVIEW – I haven’t had to get new earbuds in about two years. The earbuds I had worked well, fit comfortably and I didn’t need anything more. Not too long along, those earbuds failed and I was on the lookout for a replacement set. I felt there was a design flaw in the pair that

REVIEW – Like many people, I have a few different power banks around the house. These are great for powering small electronics on the go. But I have found times in my home that something like my laptop was low on power. Rather than pull my power cord and adapter from another room and then

REVIEW – Those of you who have read some of my previous reviews, will know that I’m building out my truck as an adventure vehicle. Nothing crazy, but I want to include things that would make my weekend adventures a little more comfortable. An ice chest has always been the go-to for storing cold items

REVIEW – A few years ago, my wife switched to a pure iPad setup rather than using a MacBook Air. This has been working great for her. But I noticed a few times she would watch videos (online puppy training recently) on her 11″ iPad Pro screen. With the improvements in iPad/OS Stage Manager, I
