REVIEW – I am a teleworker. On my desk I have two computers, a 16-inch MacBookPro that is my work computer and a Mac mini that is my personal computer. To save on space, I want these computers to share a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse; I just need some way for the peripherals to …

REVIEW – Recently I was looking at the mess of cords and cables below the desk in my home office and decided that it was time to do some organization. Part of the problem was that I have a lot of things that need power, and I was plugging in my gadgets anywhere I could …
NEWS – RazerCon 2020 was a “digital celebration for gamers. By gamers.” It was also a chance for the gaming company to hype a bunch of new gaming items, which they did. The Blade Stealth 13 is a new gaming laptop with an 11th generation i7 processor and a 120 Hz panel. The Seiren Mini …

REVIEW – This is the second part of my review of the Innovator Display 16, a new display tablet from XP-Pen. The first part of the review was technical and focused upon the tablet itself. This part is more artistic and focuses on the reactions of three young artists who used the Innovator for the …

REVIEW – Artists who transition from physical mediums, like paper and canvas, to the digital world quickly learn how inadequate a mouse is. It just doesn’t feel natural in the hand compared to a pencil or a paintbrush. To overcome this issue, an artist can draw on a graphics tablet with a pen (aka a …

REVIEW – Some backpacks have very specific purposes. The Pakt Travel Backpack is designed to be a suitcase. This one is designed to carry board games. This one is for carrying a laptop. An everyday carry backpack, however, needs to find a sweet spot somewhere in the middle of these extremes. It needs to be …
REVIEW – We recently purchased an inflatable hot tub and put it in the back yard. Eventually we might tile in everything, but for now it’s just sitting in the grass. This means we’re forever tracking grass onto the back deck and then into the house. I find myself needing to regularly blow off the …

NEWS – Do you remember the old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercial, the one that ends, “Two great tastes that taste great together”? That’s what I thought of when I first heard that Herman Miller and Logitech had come together to create a new gaming chair. Herman Miller has long been a staple in high-end …

REVIEW – Back in the 60’s there was a cartoon called The Jetsons, which gave us a look into the all the conveniences of life that would come with a futuristic space age. Perhaps the best character in this show was Rosie, the family’s robotic maid and housekeeper. As a kid, I looked forward to …
REVIEW – Frederick Lancaster originated the concept of a paperless society way back in 1978. Over forty years later, and we’re still not there. To be fair, we use a lot less paper in our family than we used to, but there always seems to be some piece of paper that we get that’s too …
REVIEW – I live in the south, and it gets pretty hot here during the summer. I’ve got a rickety old fan to help keep me cool while working in my garage or on the porch, but I’d really like a fan that is more powerful, more rugged, and more flexible. I think the Power …
REVIEW – During these times of COVID-19, we’ve had to learn new ways to communicate and collaborate despite being more isolated than we would like. One key component for remote communication is a good microphone, one that can clearly capture your voice. For the past few weeks, I have been using TONOR’s new TC-777 microphone …
REVIEW – When recording, streaming, or gaming, it’s important to have a good microphone, one that can clearly capture your voice. Most mics come with a short stand that takes up precious space on your desk and positions the mic closer to your keyboard, a source of unwanted ambient noise, than to your voice. Both …
NEWS – A few years back Apple added the Touch Bar to some of their laptops, an attempt to give users more input space. Other manufacturers have been looking to improve upon Apple’s idea — not a difficult task, as the Touch Bar is a rather lackluster feature — sometimes by adding second screens. One …
