CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Finally an Indiegogo project I can get behind! The GoSun Chillest is a solar-powered cooler that has both a freezer zone and a refrigerator zone. They claim they can keep you in popsicles at the beach for up to 10 hours, no ice required! This may seem a bit familiar, since the […]

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – For those that want to look like a cross between Robbie the Robot and a beekeeper comes the Airodome. This is a helmet that sucks air in through a beanbag-like filter on top of your head and promises a wide array of things that aren’t possible if you wear the technology of

It’s a tube-shaped pillow that you can slip over your arm so it doesn’t fall asleep while you’re cuddling your partner. According to their Kickstarter page, “Since the dawn of time, this issue has

REVIEW – When I’m working, I do a fair amount of presenting, and although I have a captive audience, I like to put on a good show anyway. Typically it involves a dazzling array of bells and whistles, but I’m always looking for one more that no one else has. Today I’m reviewing my latest:

REVIEW – I use my tablet all over the house. In the kitchen when I’m cooking, in my bed if my husband goes to sleep but I’m in the middle of a Netflix binge, and on my desk for casual Zoom meetings. As a result, I’m constantly on the search for the perfect tablet stand

REVIEW – A wireless charger might seem like a kind of an unnecessary gadget … I mean, a cable works and you already have one of those. That’s what I kept telling myself, anyway. Then I rolled my desk chair over my USB cable AGAIN. It did not survive. At that moment I decided that

REVIEW – Of all the things “the future” was supposed to bring us…robot vacuums are as far as we’ve come, which is disappointing, but hey – I’ll take it! Today I’m reviewing the Yeedi K650 vacuum. If I can’t have a flying car, at least I have a machine that will clean up after me.

REVIEW – I’ll level with you: I’m not much of a camper. I don’t get a lot of time off work, so when I get some I like to spend it somewhere with a real bed where people will bring me things like margaritas and other life giving sustenance. However, I buy a lot of

REVIEW – Once again Samsung suckered me in with an unbeatable deal and I’m the proud owner of the Samsung S21 Ultra. It still cost an arm and leg and unlike their previous releases, this phone does not ship with a factory-installed screen protector. I was shopping for one before the phone even arrived, but

REVIEW – I love a good digital picture frame. I mean, other than using my photos as my screensaver, I don’t see them otherwise. Unfortunately, a “good” digital picture frame is kind of hard to find if my experience is anything to go by. I seem to have a knack for finding the frames that

REVIEW – You seldom see me at work without my trusty water bottle, and I’m pretty particular about the ones I use. I’ve tried quite a few, but I’m pretty excited about the Philips GoZero Hydration Bottle because it does something none of my favorite water bottles can do: it cleans itself! What is it?

REVIEW – When I’m at work I usually get a fair amount of exercise walking from place to place, and I stand a lot more than I’m doing now, so I didn’t panic when the whole “sitting is the new smoking” thing went around on social media. But times are different now. If sitting really

NEWS – As a teacher, I periodically spend an afternoon looking for new apps that I think might help me do my job or my students learn stuff, and I today I found one called Space. Space is a spaced repetition flashcard system. If you’re not familiar with spaced repetition, it’s basically a system where

REVIEW – I don’t know why, but ladies exercise pants rarely have useable pockets. Sometimes there’s a pocket in the rear of the waistband that I can wedge my phone into, but it’s completely impractical if I need to access it. If I’m on the trail with my dog I’ve got more gear than that!

REVIEW – To me, the prettiest case on a phone is no case on a phone. However, when you’re as much of a klutz as I am, that’s not really an option. That is why I’m very happy to have the UAG Plyo Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G phone case. Its minimalist design keeps my

REVIEW – I’ve wanted noise-canceling headphones for a while now but I guess for me they are one of those things that you want, but you tell yourself you don’t really need. Then you get them and you realize you do need them … a lot! I think everyone living in quarantine needs them! It’s

REVIEW – At the risk of sounding a little eccentric, I will admit that can’t get enough phone and tablet stands in my life. They are scattered throughout the house because you never know when a Netflix binge will hit you! I even used one as a makeshift tripod when I took photos for this

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Life made me give up so many fun vices that I’ve really embraced the few I have left, one of which is coffee (the other is gambling, but we’ll save that for another review). I have tried all sorts of coffee pots over the years but the one I keep coming back

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Someday, hopefully soon, we will all be back at work, and If you’re like me, that will involve coffee and multitasking. Today I found my perfect travel companion for my commute: The new Calamityware Things-Could-Be-Worse travel mug available on Kickstarter.
