I work by day in the tech industry (online learning software), but my alter ego is a gadget-obsessed techy nerd gamer. I also like hiking and stargazing.

Creative Outlier Pro True Wireless Sweatproof In-ear headphones review – excellent performance and battery life

outlier pro 13

REVIEW – There are so many in-ear headphones (or wireless earbuds or earpods or whatever you want to call them) out on the market already and the flow of new models never seems to slow. Many of these new models are either clones of competitors or very minor tweaks to a company’s “last year’s model”, […]

govee panels 16 1

REVIEW – Govee has sent me quite a few of their LED lighting products to review, and I’ve really enjoyed turning my dark basement office with a single small window into a bright mood-lit space that I can change as often as I’d like. Their latest Glide Hexa Light Panels have been one of the

OTD L2-H Electric Scooter review – solid all around scooter

OTD scooter 21 1

REVIEW – When OTD offered to send over their latest L2-H electric scooter for review, I’m not sure what I was expecting. I’ve ridden scooters of this style with no motors, gas motors, and a range of electric motors (from barely-able-to-move to too-fast-for-comfort). This new scooter from OTD might be the goldilocks scooter for me,

Dreametech P10 Cordless Stick Vacuum review – surprisingly great!

Dremetech P10 13

REVIEW – We’ve been using the same cordless vacuum for years, and I thought it was completely adequate. I’m glad Dreametech sent over their P10 Cordless Stick Vacuum for review, because if I’d tried this out at a friend’s house I would probably have bought one myself! What is it? The Dreametech P10 Cordless Stick

AlphaESS Portable Power Station AP1000 review – many power, much ports

alphaess power 01

REVIEW – The world of power stations is one of choices: How many devices do you need to charge? How many watts will they pull? How long do you need them to run? If your answer to these was “quite a few”, “up to 1000 watts”, and “1 hour to multiple days depending on the

Govee neon 07

REVIEW – Have you ever wanted to add a fully customizable neon light to your room that can be curved into (nearly) any shape you’d like but didn’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for an actual glass custom neon sign? If so, the Govee RGBIC Neon rope light might be just what you’ve been

Bomaker Cinema 500 Max projector review – solid Full HD projector

bomaker max500 13

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed several DLP LCD projectors here, as well as bought a couple on my own for various purposes throughout my life. The Bomaker Cinema 500 Max projector has the best image quality I’ve seen so far in a sub-$500 projector, and overall I was pleasantly surprised with the features and performance, though

AKASO Brave 8 action camera review – great specs but some flaws

akaso brave8 07

REVIEW – While top-notch phone cameras are replacing traditional film or digital cameras for more people every year, there’s still a market that they can’t replace: action cameras. Despite marketing suggesting it, I think most rational people wouldn’t take their brand new iPhone or Samsung flagship phone snorkeling or strap it to their helmet or

ARTICLE – My main “battlestation”.  I have worked from home for about 9 years now, but I’m constantly updating things.  I use this station for both work and play, and it’s set up accordingly. Here’s a list of the stuff: Monitor: Monoprice Dark Matter 34″ ultrawide.  This monitor is great for both productivity (it is

Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2 Gaming soundbar review – punches well above its size

creative katana 12

REVIEW – Are you looking for powerful sound combined with snazzy looks, from a company with decades of multimedia experience? I’ve been running some relatively boring black computer speakers on my work/gaming desk in my office for years now. I previously had a Creative 5.1 surround system on my gaming/workstation but the wires and logistics

Thinksound OV21 headphones review – audiophile grade headphones for half the price

thinksound ov21 15

REVIEW – Have you ever been curious about “audiophile” headphones and what justifies their ~$1000 price tags? I know I have, but until now I’ve never had the spare cash or opportunity to use cans of that caliber. Thinksound has sent over their new OV21 headphones that they’re advertising as “giant-killers” at less than half

Tribit Soundbar review – big sound at a decent price

tribit soundbar 3

REVIEW – Like many of you, I’ve been suffering with the scourge of using the built-in speakers on a television in my house. Nearly all televisions have garbage speakers that are either tinny or too quiet or both. Many built-in TV speakers are also downward- or backward- firing so that the sound that’s getting to

DXRacer Air Breathable Mesh Gaming Chair review – no more hot buns

dx air 26 2

REVIEW – Most of you are probably familiar with “gaming chairs” or “racing chairs”, given their massive popularity in recent times. You can’t watch a streaming gamer without seeing an eye-catching chair at some point, but in my experience looks don’t always equal comfort. I’ve tried so many different office chairs over the years that

Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter review – adds SSD storage to your USB hub

satechi hybrid 11

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you always want/need more storage on your device. Certain fruit-themed brands charge a massive premium for larger storage options so many of us end up with very limited hard drives on our computers or tablets. Satechi has previously helped with that gap by providing external USB-C SSD (solid

Hex Ranger Blackout Camo camera mini-sling review – quite good and quite small

REVIEW – I’ve been on the hunt for a good travel bag for my DJI Mini 2 drone for a while now, as the bundled bag I received with the drone offers almost no protection to the drone itself. When the opportunity arose to review the Hex Ranger Blackout Camo camera mini-sling, I was very

Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum review – finally a mopping vacuum that works!

dreame h11 16

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of robot vacuums in the past that include a wet/mop function, but neither of them did much in terms of mopping. As a result, my back still hurts after every manual mopping session. I was excited to review the Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum and hoped that

Hohem iSteady V2 gimbal review – a smooth operator

hohem isteadyv2 02

REVIEW – Smartphone cameras have become phenomenally good in the last few years, but no amount of optical image stabilization or digital trickery can match a good gimbal (yet). So is the Hohem iSteady V2 gimbal a good gimbal? I took it through it’s paces and will now break it down in review format, as
