REVIEW – We’ve suspected my brother-in-law has been experiencing hearing loss for quite some time, so we jumped at the opportunity to try Ceretone’s Core One Hearing Aids to see if they would help. Can we have a drum roll, please? ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $349.99 (regularly $699.99) Where to buy: Ceretone What is it? […]
REVIEW – Who remembers the days of stealing a sibling/cousin/best friend’s snack, only to be caught and have only one iron-clad defense to yell, “Well, I didn’t see your name on it!”. As your friendly neighborhood millennial with a middle child history, I can tell you I’ve screamed this more times than I can count.

REVIEW – The field of under-desk exercise options is pretty full right now. There are a lot of products and different designs and I’ve been interested in finding a way to bump up my passive exercise levels for a while now. I tried an elliptical style under-desk exerciser a while back and I enjoyed it,

REVIEW – Ready to ditch your wallet that would make George Costanza blush with its spine-altering thickness? You might need to check out Allett. I’ve reviewed several products from Allett, the most recent a handful of wallets back in 2019, and I’ve been impressed with their durability and slim, minimalist style. Since it had been
REVIEW – I have a bunch of different tablets. I have an iPad, various Android tablets, and a Microsoft Surface. I got a hard cover for the iPad that has a built-in Bluetooth keyboard (with a touchpad), so it’s nice being able to type on a physical keyboard. And after I recently got my Pixel 9

REVIEW – They say that eyes are the window to the soul. They are also the focal point for headaches and dry eyes. Heat, cool, and massage are all solutions to these maladies. It’s tough, however, to find yourself a nice, local eye masseuse when you need one. Bob and Brad, maker of all kinds

REVIEW – Backing up your digital stuff is super important. But most people don’t think about it until something goes wrong. I can’t imagine losing years of family photos or important work documents because a drive failed. That would be hard to bounce back from. One of the easiest and smartest ways to keep your

REVIEW – I’ve used and owned a lot of different portable chargers and they have certainly improved and changed over the past few years. A new (to me) modular option came up recently with the XTAR New PB2SL V2 2-in-1 Charger & Power Bank and I had to check it out and see how well

REVIEW – If you’ve worked or even seen the inside of any type of modern office in the last 15-20 years, you’re familiar with the idea of standing desks. Most information workers expect them and use them without thought, but getting one in your home office has, until recently, been prohibitively expensive. Until today’s desk

REVIEW – When I was growing up, we would often rent a projector and big screen from where my dad worked. I loved being able to cozy up and forget the world while our house became a door to another dimension. The upgraded version of the Wanbo X5 Pro is a personal projector that takes

REVIEW – This has been the year for severe storms where I live. We’ve been at this house for 25 years and we’ve had more storm damage this past spring than all those years together. Most of it has been tree damage. But with all storms come power outages. We’re lucky that we have a

REVIEW – Charging our phones on the go is a constant thing. (I laughed at a dating site that asked “Phone battery level” as a profile question. The choices were “Always charged”, “50%”, and “Always in the red”. Has this become yet another way we codify our place in society?) To mitigate this (and possibly

REVIEW – I am excited!! In case you are wondering why, I am a huge fan of Engenius networking equipment, and I am pursuing my goal of having a 100% Engenius network infrastructure. As I continue to add modern technology, having switches that can handle a minimum of 2.5Gb bandwidth, which is my ISP speed,
REVIEW – Fun in the sun is great, but a dose of shade is critical to really extending the fun outside on a hot day. Today’s review is the Elegear Beach Tent Sun Shelter and I had to see how well it held up to a solid day of sun and kids. Read on to

REVIEW – Dash cams are a dime a dozen. There are hundreds of them out there for your consideration. Most do an adequate job, so how does a dash cam make itself stand out among the crowd? 70mai (pronounced like 70-my) just introduced its new flagship T800 dash cam. So what? What makes it different?

REVIEW – With my motorcycle, e-motorcycle, bike, e-bike workshop up and running, I am looking for any unique and/or well-designed bike to review, test, and ultimately mod. This year has been slow in terms of bikes sent to me to review, so I am elated to get my hands on this Qrong Thunder e-bike. I

REVIEW – It’s time to get your cardio on! The Merach Fitness Folding Treadmill is designed for walking, jogging and running. The semi-compact design is plenty big and stable for more aggressive work, but the deck folds up so that you can store it if you’re using it in smaller spaces. Let’s put it to
REVIEW – The Edifier Stax Spirit S5 wireless planar magnetic headphones are a definite upgrade from most ordinary dynamic speaker headphones. For those who just read that and have no idea what it means, read on if you want more from your favorite music … but it will cost you. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $499.99
REVIEW – Earlier this year, I upgraded my 2020 MacBook Air with a 2024 Mac Mini M4. I love this little powerhouse. What I didn’t like is the lack of USB-A ports, SD Card reader, and the lack of easy upgradability with the SSD. Enter the Satechi Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD
