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.

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 …

NEWS – Quadcopters are popular these days not in small part because they are easy to fly. If you’re looking for a step up in complexity and capability, take a look at Krossblade’s recently announced SkyProwler2.
