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 – I’ve been using air purifiers for the past 10 years or so and have found them to relieve or remove the symptoms of my mild allergies and helping me sleep in the process. I’ve also found that while usually well designed for function, their aesthetics tend to leave a lot to be desired. …

REVIEW – So many speakers—so little time. That’s how I’ve been feeling lately because a LOT of portable Bluetooth speakers have come out in 2020 and now 2021. Yeah, I know—first-world problem. But as I look at what speakers there are to choose from, a few stand out and demand to be reviewed because frankly, …

REVIEW – I’ve owned and reviewed a couple of projectors, but never a “portable projector”. This category of projectors tends to be smaller (for portability of course), and typically includes built-in batteries to allow for viewing away from a power source. As a tradeoff, they have lower brightness levels and lower native resolutions than …
