REVIEW – Sometimes, as a reviewer, we get the opportunity to review similar pieces of tech that span across different prices and features. I’m reminded of the story of the 3 bears. In this story, is the TOOCAA NOVA Laser Engraver too big, too small, or just right? Well, that will depend on how you […]

REVIEW – Since moving, I have a little more room for a bigger desk. What I found is that many standing desks aren’t very deep, usually 19 to 24 inches. The Blacklyte Atlas Lite series of standing desks all come with a depth of 31.5 inches, regardless of width. I knew I wanted to see

REVIEW – As a writer for the Gadgeteer, there are opportunities to review products that line up more in the “wants” column rather than the “needs” column. The Novium Hoverpen Interstellar is one such product. Do you “need” this fancy ballpoint pen? No, but would you “want” it? Absolutely! ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $239.00 Where

REVIEW – “Hi, my name is Frank, and I take a lot of pictures”. And many, many…most of them in fact, stay on an external hard drive or on my socials. They are limited to never being seen or seen on small, handheld devices. I would run out of wall space if I wanted to

REVIEW – With a wedding coming up, and the opportunity to review the latest Apple Watch band from Nomad Goods, the Stratos Band, I couldn’t help but marry these two situations (almost as I couldn’t help make that terrible pun)! Seriously, though, there were a couple of interesting design features of the Stratos Band that

REVIEW – Earlier this year, I was able to review an excellent ebike from Jasion, and since then, I’m sold on the advantages of “e-travel”. When the NAVEE XT5 Pro Off-Road E-Scooter came up for review, I wondered how different (or similar) the experience would be riding it. So if you’re interested in electric scooters

REVIEW – The speakers on many TVs aren’t that great. They lack depth and often sound tinny, which may be fine when listening to voices or dialog, but for music and movies, they are pretty disappointing. But sometimes adding a speaker system results in more wires, more remotes, and more space. What does the Creative

REVIEW – Although I mostly work remotely, there have been a few occasions when I need to go back into the office. I needed a bag that could carry all my tech I would need while in the office. I had a small backpack that was too small, and a giant backpack that was too

REVIEW – When I was a competitive swimmer, training my drifting thoughts while swimming endless laps was part of the process, but now, I only swim for fun and sometimes fitness. Wouldn’t it be great to listen to music or podcasts, or an audiobook while swimming? Ray, a good friend of mine, helped me test

REVIEW – So bear with me….I’m new to e-bikes, and the Jasion Thunder E-Bike is my first experience with one. Excited was an understatement when it came to having the opportunity to review this e-bike! Am I a convert from traditional, pedal-powered bicycles? Does riding an e-bike have benefits? Did I grin ear-to-ear while riding

REVIEW – After moving to the desert, I have been doing a lot of traveling to visit friends and family. I’m fortunate enough to have a remote job, where all I need is an internet connection to be able to do my work. That sounds like unlimited freedom…until I’m in a spot with weak coverage

REVIEW – One of the things that I miss from my older Sony A6300 camera was the built-in pop-up flash. Yeah, it wasn’t powerful, but it gave me the option for some fill light on brighter days when my subject was backlit. I occasionally use the included flash on my Fuji camera, too. So I

REVIEW – Power Banks, portable chargers, portable batteries….they are so ubiquitous and similar in size, shape, and color…usually black. So when something comes along that looks different, it grabs our attention. So it is with the Sharge Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank. But is it a case of form over function? ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $44.90

REVIEW – The Mac Mini M4 was announced last year to much deserved fanfare. Gone was the ill-fitting housing for the M1 and M2 Apple Silicon chips, and instead, the redesign made the Mini worthy of its name. For me, I need an SD card reader, and up until now, I have made use of

REVIEW – I’ve been a “photography enthusiast” for about 15 years. I have spent more money on camera and related equipment than I’d like to acknowledge. I’ve gone from DSLR cameras to mirrorless, switching brands from Canon to Sony and also diving into the Fujifilm world. Regardless of all that….I still need a comfortable and

REVIEW – One of the ways to personalize your Apple Watch is by swapping out the bands. I have a metal one for dressier moments, a custom one for awareness, and durable ones for when things get messy…..but I didn’t have a glow-in-the-dark one. When Nomad offered to review their Rocky Point Band in a

REVIEW – I’ve been toying with the idea of putting a dash camera in my car for a while now. Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to running cables, or taking up a 12-volt socket, or splicing into the fuse box. I saw a few online articles on how easy the FITCAMX dash cams are to
