REVIEW – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that American adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. This roughly translates into taking 10,000 steps a day. The Mayo Clinic, however, estimates that the average American only walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, far short of what …
NEWS – So let’s say that you have an extra Segway MiniPRO laying around that you aren’t using. Yeah, no, I can’t really relate to this either, but work with me here and pretend. You have an extra Segway MiniPRO laying around, and you wish there was something really fun you could do with it. …
REVIEW – When the whole family wants to watch a movie or see the big game together, we gather around the large screen TV in the living room. When I want to catch a Dota match on Twitch or see the latest Dude Perfect video on YouTube, I use my iPad. Is there room in …
REVIEW – Recently I reviewed the Bunktrunk footlocker for my daughter. It came with a cute, little Bluetooth speaker about which I wrote, “It may not be loud enough to fill my house with sound, but it will be plenty loud in a dorm room.” Looking back, I think this is how I thought about …

REVIEW – I have a confession to make: Although I have a nice gaming rig and a set of quality peripherals, I’m still using a Logitech H570e for my headset. While this $35 device might be fine in the office for making the occasional Slack call, it’s not exactly a high-quality gaming headset. It’s time …
NEWS – I wrote previously about Razer’s upcoming toaster, but if a venomous green, gaming-inspired toaster is not for you, then maybe you should take a look at Mitsubishi’s new bread oven. It’s a toaster that looks like a waffle-maker and works by sealing in a single piece of bread and transferring heat through two …
NEWS – Yep, you read that title correctly: You can buy a micro SD card that’s 1 TB in size. SanDisk recently revealed that you can buy the first ever 1 TB card directly from their online store or from Amazon. As of today, it’s out of stock in both locations, but when it’s available, …
REVIEW – Most of my leisure time these days is spent playing Dota 2, so to support my keyboard-mashing habit, last year I bought a really nice keyboard, a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate. It’s a super study mechanical keyboard that can take a lot of abuse. It is, however, a wired keyboard. As a gamer, I …

NEWS – If you’re a PC gamer, you’re probably already familiar with Razer, the maker of gaming peripherals and laptops. What you might not know is that Razer is going to make a toaster. Say what? Yes, you read that right, a toaster. This all started when a fan made a Facebook post asking for …
REVIEW – This fall my daughter will be heading off to Liberty University—go Flames!— for her first year of college. I know her dorm room will have a bed and desk, but when BunkTrunk offered a chance to review their signature product, a desk for your bed, my daughter and I jumped at the opportunity …
REVIEW – Last year I designed a custom gaming PC and had my local computer shop build it for me. It was the first time that I had designed a computer that did not have a traditional hard drive; instead, it used a super-fast 500 GB Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO M.2. To maximize performance, …
REVIEW – Albert Einstein is reported to have said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” The idea behind this aphorism is to make something complex as simple as it can be without losing its essence. I don’t know whether or not Humixx is an Einstein fan, but they’ve certainly created …
NEWS – Anyone familiar with Apple’s products knows that they value form over function. Their interfaces tend to be no-nonsense and minimalist, sometimes too much so. The remote for the Apple TV is a perfect example of this design philosophy. It has a trackpad-like area, a few buttons, and nothing else. Despite its simplicity, it …

REVIEW – A few years ago I went to take our Yorkshire Terrier outside one last time before going to bed. I was tired and feeling a bit lazy, so I didn’t bother putting a leash on her. Normally our dog isn’t a runaway kind of dog, but that night there was a deer in …
REVIEW – My wife worked for a home cleaning company for a while. When it came time to buy a new vacuum cleaner for our house, she knew from experience exactly which model to buy, one that was both powerful and long-lasting. Not every job around the house, however, is a good match for a …
