REVIEW – I love eBikes! Just over 2 years ago, I took a 30K ride along Spain’s Costa del Sol on one, and loved it! I’m never going back to regular bikes. So, I’ve asked for a few reviews here when e-bikes are offered to the team, and, lo-and-behold, a step-thru bike was offered, and […]

REVIEW – In most cultures of the world, mornings are started with a hot beverage. Even in the sands of the desert, folks prepare hot coffee, matcha, or tea. I’m primarily a coffee (specifically espresso) person, so that’s what I want, but it’s impossible to prepare without a high-pressure system. Today we’re going to consider

REVIEW – Digital sound recording has been around for a while. Remember those little memory stick-sized recorders? Getting good sound quality, however, will always stretch the limits of a tiny built-in mic. Fortunately, most modern devices take external inputs as easily as plugging into the charging port. Today, I’m going to look at a kit

REVIEW – Vehicle interiors are notoriously difficult places to store small items, or have things near to hand. Sure, we have consoles, “glove” boxes, and little cubby holes everywhere, but when you’re at a traffic light, and just need to, say, grab a flashlight to see what the heck is rolling around on the passenger

REVIEW – Sitting at your desk is, according to many, a death sentence. The compromises to your hips as well as your lower back are huge and real. A few companies have addressed this issue in various ways, from standing desks to wobble boards, walking desks, cycling desks, cycling chairs, and cycling footstools. Today, we’re

REVIEW – I was sent the Himiway C5 Electric Motorbike through a corporate miscommunication, rather than a commuter ebike. I was disappointed for a second or two, but then I saw that seat. They decided to let me test it and review it, and so began my love affair with what I have come to

REVIEW – With USB-C fast becoming the standard on both mobile and desktop/laptop systems, and HDMI’s ability to carry both sound and video, these two interfaces are what need to be connected to present your data/video on a larger screen. Today, I’m reviewing the Plugable HDMI 2.1 USB-C to HDMI adapter supports 4K 144Hz or

REVIEW – PopSockets™ phone holders have been around long enough to almost define the category, like ChapStik™ or Kleenex™. There are other methods for gaining a more secure grip on your phone, but having a stick-on knob that can be compacted when not needed is their claim to fame. Today, I’m looking at a new

REVIEW – So many little bits and bobs are involved with being a True Gadgeteer. Dongles for your laptops and displays. Chargers. (So. Many. Chargers!) Data cards for drones, cameras, phones, tablets and your great-aunt Sophie’s digital picture frame. A tech pouch to gather similar-but-separate bits and pieces for your devices is a good thing.

REVIEW – Vacuuming or dusting inside is such a thankless task: you clean today, and three days later, it looks like you’ve never cleaned! I have a long-haired dog, so I can live with a large amount of leaves, dirt, and sweet gum balls scattered around my house, but at some point, I just have

Today’s offering is the Infinacore T3 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, a folding travel charger. If you have an Apple Watch and

REVIEW – Learning new things is difficult. Improving on them takes looking at your performance objectively, or having a coach who will do so. With today’s video technology, you can now video your performance and review it later, but what if you move around? Enter the Pivo Max, a moving “smart gimbal” for your smart

REVIEW – Packing towels for travel is a pain. Most of them need to be fluffy in order to be absorbent, which makes them bulky. Then, they have to flap around in the air to dry. In the last few decades, however, new materials have been developed that give you great absorption without the bulk.

REVIEW – Will we ever be free from having to have spare batteries for our portable devices? I can’t see such a future, but some power banks fit into your life very easily and make things easier. Such is the Lululook magnetic power bank 10000 mAh that I was sent recently. Let me give you

REVIEW – There are places in most of our homes, offices, garages, or sheds that need more or better lighting. LED technology and battery technology have improved quite a bit in recent years so now, there are numerous solutions to this problem. I was recently sent the HIBOITEC sconces to test. I’ve installed them (it’s

REVIEW – The curse of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is that it takes two devices to work in. You need to have a keyboard for input, and a pointing device for moving the insertion point around and selecting/dragging graphical elements about. Originally, that was a keyboard and mouse. The laptop brought it down to

REVIEW – We all carry phones everywhere, and use them in our vehicles – that ship has sailed. We do not advocate using them while the vehicle is in motion, but being able to grab your phone when at a light or pulled off the roadway to change a route, answer an urgent message, call

REVIEW – Most knowledge workers today use a graphical user interface on their computing devices. Sure, we may spend time in a *nix terminal or text editor or even a coding Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but all of those are contained in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that’s navigated through a mouse/trackpad/pen/touch interface. When switching

REVIEW – Android tablets come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of quality. As an iPad lover, I still try to make sure there’s not something else out there I want, so every year or so, I’ll volunteer to review one. This year’s sacrificial lamb is the AGM PAD P1 from AGM Mobile. I’ve used
