Fitness tracking devices are available in a variety of colors and styles that range from feminine to sporty, and from flashy to utilitarian. But there aren’t that many fitness devices that pair the classic look of a wrist watch with technology that tracks your steps and sleep patterns. Withings did it with their Activité watches […]

I can’t make up my mind if this app is cool, creepy or somewhere in between. Battery Share is an iOS app that will let you follow the battery status of your friend’s phone and will send a notification to your device when their battery is about to die. I’m not sure what the real

Even after all these years, I’m still a novice when it comes to video editing. I know just enough to be able to create small videos when I need them for the reviews I write, but my skills are limited to joining and trimming multiple clips, inserting basic transitions and adding very simple titles. I’m

If I kept better track of my emails, I would guess that I receive 20-50 emails a week from people wanting me to promote their Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects. You might think I’m mean, but I delete the vast majority of these emails because I don’t have time to write a whole post about each

Last week I posted part 2 of my LG G5 review and was bummed that I wasn’t able to include info about the Cam Plus module because I hadn’t received the sample in time. As luck would have it, the same day that I posted the review, the Cam Plus module showed up. I spent
In the early days of PDAs (personal digital assistants), I remember daydreaming about a computer the size of a Palm Pilot with a color touch screen display that would plug into a docking station with a larger display, keyboard and mouse when I was at work or at home. That way I would only have

Dash cams have become very popular in the last few years, but now we have another type of camera for cars. No, it’s not a back up camera, it’s a backseat camera or a babycam. The Garmin babyCam connects without tools to the headrest of your seat and interfaces wirelessly with a variety of Garmin

Every year when Jeanne and I go to Florida for vacation, we talk about taking along one of our metal detectors to hunt the beaches for “treasure”. So far we’ve never actually taken one with us because we’d have to dismantle it to put in our luggage. That wouldn’t be a huge hardship, but we’ve

I’ve been using the LG G5 for almost a month now and posted my first impressions two weeks ago. As far as looks and feel, I still don’t think that the G5 lives up to the same standard as LG’s previous flagship smartphones like the LG G4 and the LG V10. For a high-end phone

The Alexa voice service has been set free from the confines of the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Tap devices and is now available in the Invoxia Triby. On its own, the Triby looks like a portable radio or Bluetooth speaker. It’s actually both! It has a built in carrying handle, control buttons and an

Dash cams are the type of gadget that once you setup, you hope you never need to use it. That’s because they are typically only used after you’ve had an accident or witnessed some other unusual event while driving. I like having a dash cam in my MINI Cooper because I never know when bigfoot

The iPad Pro has been off my radar, but I should probably be embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even know that the iPad Pro had a special charging connector that doesn’t require a cable. The Smart Connector is the closest Apple has come to wireless charging for a mobile device (I’m not counting the

This week it is my turn to post some quick updates to some of my past reviews. I have realized that I don’t continue to use that many items after I review them. So can be tough for me to come up with a handful of reviews to update. I don’t know if that means

I’m not new to robot vacuums or more specifically, I’m not new to Neato Botvacs. I’ve been using the Neato Botvac 80 for over a year now and love it. No longer having to manually vacuum my 2-level home several times a week not only saves me time, but makes the house feel and look
