REVIEW – We don’t watch a lot of TV these days, but we do use it to check the weather, catch up on local news, and track emergency events. We recently moved to a new location that’s definitely more rural than urban, so I thought this would be a good time to upgrade my TV’s

REVIEW – Suppose you’re looking to buy a wallet for that special guy in your life, maybe for Christmas, graduation, or a birthday. Sure, you could go to Target or JC Penneys and pick up any old wallet they have, but what if you want to get something special, a wallet that is above and

REVIEW – As a semi-competitive gamer, I’m always on the lookout for a good gaming mouse. Normally I’m not that excited about wireless gaming mice, because there’s always the risk that my battery dies in the middle of a game, leaving me stranded for 30 seconds or so while I fumble for a new pair

Every video game requires input from the gamer, and for PC gaming that means a gaming keyboard is required. For me, a great keyboard need to durable as I mash the keys repeatedly, use switches that have a tactile response, and display some bling-bling colors so that I can show off for my friends. In

REVIEW – One of the key components of any computer system is obviously the mouse, which is used to select items on the screen. For a gaming computer, a good mouse is extra important, as a gamer must be able to quickly and accurately click to move, shoot, collect items, and so on. In this

REVIEW – Our family has several pieces of luggage, but after traveling to Asia and back and all over the east coast, they’re pretty beaten up. Additionally, they are not very flexible, as they have one main compartment for storing everything. It’s time to try something new, preferably something that is both durable and flexible.

REVIEW – Some people love to cook and are good at it. Others of us are not-so-skilled, but we still have to eat. Eating out every night is rather expensive, and Ramen noodles get old in a hurry. What’s a non-cook to do? I have a theory: I think it’s possible to do a lot

REVIEW – Sometimes I want to consume audio content alone, but often I want to share it with my wife. We listen to music together while working in the garage, audio books while driving in the car during our vacation, and podcasts while cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. For times like these, it’s nice

REVIEW – Some days it’s easy to keep our phones charged: We’re at home, at the office, or in the car. Other days, however, are more difficult: We’re out and about, shopping or hiking, or at a conference or in an airport. If we’re constantly using our phone, or if it’s older and can’t hold

Previously I have reviewed three different gadgets with the intention of giving them to my daughter as she headed off to her first semester of college: the Osprey Tropos everyday backpack, the Kensington Thunderbolt 3 Nano dock, and the BunkTrunk PhD footlocker. At the time of these reviews, I believed that each of these would

REVIEW – I saw a t-shirt on Etsy that said, “A bad day flying is better than a good day working,” and in the middle was a picture of a quadcopter drone. I love my job, but after a couple of weeks of flying Altair Aerial’s Outlaw SE, I’m inclined to agree with that t-shirt.

REVIEW – We live on planet Earth. We are stewards of our world, and as it’s the only world that we have, we should probably take care of it. In our culture, there’s a growing awareness that as individuals and families we should live a manner that damages the Earth as little as reasonably possible.

REVIEW – Want to know how long I’ve had my alarm clock beside the bed? Over 25 years. Not kidding. It’s got to be the most durable gadget I own, but it’s also rather short on features and way behind these technological times. My plan for coming into the present is to replace my old

REVIEW – Around here, we’re big fans of the Butcher Box. It’s a monthly meat delivery service that sends boxes of meat straight to our house. Their beef is 100% grass-feed, and their chicken is free range organic, things that are important to us. When it comes to cooking meat, especially thick cuts like briskets and

REVIEW – Without a doubt, the two most important components of a good gaming system are the video card and the monitor. The monitor is what gamers are looking at while playing, and the video card is what renders the games on the monitor. When I designed my current system, I included a GeForce GTX

REVIEW – When our family first started buying mobile devices several years ago, I purchased an Anker USB charging hub and put it on our pie safe. This created one central location in the house where everyone could put their gadgets for high-speed charging. These days, however, it seems that we always want to keep

REVIEW – My daughter is heading off to college this fall, and she needs a backpack. All the buildings that she will use (dorms, classrooms, cafeteria, gym) are on one main campus, which means that she will be doing a lot of walking. She needs a backpack that is strong enough and large enough to
