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

REVIEW – I have an older filament printer that I learned to design, tweak, and print 3D models. Usually, my bigger prints came out fine, but I could never get the detail of smaller prints to look good. I heard about resin printers but didn’t know the benefits and shortcomings. I knew I wanted to

REVIEW – The last dog bed that our son’s dog used while visiting our house did not last long. Between the constant in-and-out, and nibbling on treats in bed, it got trashed pretty quickly. Will the White Duck Dog Bed fair any better? Warning: cute dog pics included! What is it? The White Duck Dog

REVIEW – I’m continuing to build out my “adventure vehicle” for longer road trips. I have a power station, a portable refrigerator, and a few compact camp chairs. What I don’t have is a way to heat drinks or snacks. I was intrigued by the Stoke Voltaics Kettle Pot because I didn’t need a whole

REVIEW – Laptop computers are great for travel, especially today’s newer, lighter laptops. My daily use laptop is an Apple MacBook. While powerful as it is, the ports and connectivity options aren’t that great. When I’m at home, I have a docking station/hub that gives me the ability to connect my most used peripherals. I

REVIEW – I am primarily a photographer, but very occasionally dabble in creating videos. My daughter always created personalized videos that we still treasure to this day. When the Feiyu SCORP 2 stabilizer came up for review, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I wanted to know if this gimbal can help

REVIEW – Multi-device wireless chargers are becoming more and more common. They are a great way to have a single cable powering a stand that can recharge multiple devices at the same time. What is it about the Satechi 3-in-1 Foldable Qi2 Wireless Folding Stand that separates it from all the competitors? Quite a lot

REVIEW – Our smartphones are becoming more integrated with our lives, even into our vehicles. We can play music, navigate to our destinations, and use apps to find less expensive gas, restaurants, and charging stations. But we need a place to put our phones and ideally charge them while in use. I tested the Mophie

REVIEW – I’ve used both the original Polaroid instant camera as well as some of the newer ones. I’ve found that the pictures came out a little too “retro” looking for me. Does the HP Sprocket 3×4 Portable Instant Printer deliver better quality straight from the pictures from our smartphones? Let’s find out! What is

REVIEW – Most of the watch bands I have for my Apple Watch Ultra 2 are great for everyday wear. They are usually rugged and similar to the ones that Apple had originally designed, such as the trail loop, alpine loop, and ocean band. But nothing would be a good fit with a suit for
