Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – In my opinion, pens are like money, you can never have enough! I feel the same way about EDC Gear, so a pen that is worthy enough to become part of my EDC is definitely worth taking a look at. Today I want to show you the keychain pen from Arrow & Eaves. …
REVIEW – Senstroke connected drumsticks lets drummers play, record and learn from anywhere. What is it? These drumsticks have sensors that allow you to rock out, even during a global pandemic and quarantine. Using the Senstroke app and your connected device, you can customize your virtual drum kit. There are even foot pedal sensors to …
REVIEW – We currently have a single flashlight in our household. It is rechargeable and has a nice base that it plugs into while waiting to be used. On the rare occasions where I do need a flashlight, I often find myself competing with the spousal unit (old Saturday Night Live Coneheads reference!) as to …
 REVIEW – Most everyone whose work involves sitting at a desk (many in a home office during these challenging times) uses an office chair. But does anyone pay attention to what the chair sits on? Up until now, my home office chair has rolled around on one of those plastic mats that acquire dents …

REVIEW – Yup. That’s me… jumping rope for the first time in 30 years! The Crossrope is a jump rope system that combines excellent design, different levels of weighted ropes, and a fantastic app to satisfy experienced jumpers and newbies like me. How does it work? Let’s jump into the review! What is it? It’s …
REVIEW – When you think about cordless vacuums, what brand comes to mind? For me, it’s Dyson. The Dyson stick vacuums pretty much set the standard for cordless suction, provided your needs are mostly cleaning larger areas. Even with the shorter attachments, wiggling a Dyson into the nooks and crannies of your car, or even …
REVIEW – Photography has entered another new age. With each move, from glass to tin to film to electronic sensors, changes arose in how images were captured. Now, we are in an era of Computational Photography, where large-scale computing within our tiny phones can put together data from those sensors and construct images of nature …
REVIEW – Headphones are one of the most widely varying products I’ve used over the years, with many different features and focuses between brands and types. The HyperX Cloud Flight S Wireless Gaming headset promises premium audio quality with the added benefit of wireless charging. I’ve used everything from ~$20 headsets in college, to $200+ …

REVIEW – I saw this review offer and thought that it would be the perfect item for diagnosing a couple of the problems that I know my truck has. What is it? The Innova CarScan Pro 5610 is a feature-rich OBD2 vehicle diagnostic tool. What’s in the box? CarScan Pro 5610 ODBC connection Cable App …

REVIEW – Although in my day job as an engineer I’ve begun to convert over to digital note-taking out of practicality, I still do take quite a few handwritten notes, and if truth be told, I enjoy it—there’s something quite satisfying about writing with a good pen in a good notebook. Over the past several …
REVIEW – In 2008 I had a unique and magical gadget called the Livescribe pen, which was my first foray into the world of digital handwriting. It was a huge, fat ink pen that used special paper and a camera built into the pen to capture what you were writing. It also had a microphone …
REVIEW – I’ve been wanting to stream my game play for a while now, and while I had the opportunity to try out a solid microphone, I was using an old webcam for video. It was the one thing that was out of date with my setup. It was as if Logitech knew what I …
REVIEW – For the most part, I think the optimal input device for an iPad is one’s fingers. Some people, however, have a need to enter a lot of text. While the built-in, virtual keyboard on an iPad is serviceable, having a real, physical keyboard makes typing so much easier. My wife teaches English online, …
REVIEW – We recently moved into a new house, and it has a butler’s pantry instead of a traditional pantry. This means we have a lot of shelves, some of which are very deep, and my wife and I are trying to figure out how to organize everything. In particular, it’s a challenge to organize …
REVIEW – There are two things in the computing and gadget world that I really like – great software and photography. The chance to review ACDSee’s Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 came along, and I jumped at the opportunity to check out something that combines both of these. What is it? ACDSee’s Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 …
