REVIEW – It’s the holiday season and while that’s a busy time, it also comes right before another busy time: tax season. I still get a million paper copies of tax forms and in the past I’ve mailed them, which just seems like I’m asking for trouble. This year I’m scanning them with the Epson […]
REVIEW – At the risk of sounding a little too Californian, I hereby reveal that I have two electric cars. While there is a lot of infrastructure here to support them, without a level two charger at home I wouldn’t be able to make it to work every day. What can I say? I also

REVIEW -I have a love/hate relationship with composting. I love having compost for my garden, but I keep getting off the composting train because it’s gross. In the flimsy little can the city gave us I’d get mold, bugs and sometimes smells…and none of those are things you want in your kitchen. I kept seeing

REVIEW – A handbag, in case you aren’t aware, is kind of a personal thing. There are thousands of bags out there because everyone has different needs, and as our lives change, so does our bag. When I was told I could choose a bag from the Latico website, I was pretty excited because there

REVIEW – I don’t know what happened along the way in television design but it feels like all the manufacturers forgot that sound is important when you’re watching a show. I have one television in particular that no matter how high I increase the volume, speech is still very mumbly. I have solved that problem

REVIEW – It’s summer and that means one thing: end of school parties, graduation parties, barbeque and pool parties. The pressure is on me as a gadgeteer to have the most innovative party stuff, since my friends have come to expect at least one cool thing on display every time I throw a get-together. I’m

REVIEW – I’ve got a kind of divisive review for this week, at least for frequent travelers: packing cubes. You see, you’re either a packing cube person or you’re not, I find. I have mixed feelings about them, but lately, I’ve seen packing cubes like the Cambond compression packing cubes all over the internet. They

REVIEW – Spring is finally springing here in Los Angeles and that means it’s finally dry enough to consider getting outside and doing some biking.

REVIEW – I do most of my work on a Surface Pro, mostly because as a professor I walk a lot around campus and I don’t want to lug anything heavy. I do miss a big screen, I have to admit, so when I was given the chance to evaluate the Kwumsy KX portable touchscreen monitor,

REVIEW – I’m a pretty good cook but I always use a thermometer to roast meat. Life is way too short to eat overdone meat or to spend a few days wishing for death because the meat was undercooked. When I saw the Siyoteam wireless meat thermometer I had to try it! A leave-in wireless

REVIEW – As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, this is the year of wellness for me. I’m trying out all the therapeutic gadgets I can get my hands on and the Mountrax Scalp Massager looked like a relaxing way to knead away the tension after work. What is it? The Mountrax 5-in-1 Smart Scalp

REVIEW – I may be able to order from the senior menu now, but there are some young girl things that never really leave you. When I saw the Liene K100 mini photo printer, I thought that had teenage girl written all over it, but as a middle-aged woman I also really wanted it! It

REVIEW – I’ve decided this is the year of wellness and balance. I’m really trying to pull it all together and carve out time for all the stuff I’m supposed to be doing besides raising a kid and making a living, like eating well and getting enough rest. Results have been mixed, but I did

REVIEW — The beach. It’s one of those places everyone wants to go to enjoy the sun, but once you get there, at some point you wind up missing the shade. I have used many canopies over the years, but I’ve never seen one as light and portable as the Shibumi Beach Shade. They call
