REVIEW – Spending more time at home due to my new(ish) hybrid work schedule has had a few interesting repercussions. One of which is how often my small apartment requires cleaning now.

REVIEW – Tablets have become ubiquitous – some people use them for all their computing work, others use them as an additional computing device, on the go or around the house for various tasks, others just use them to watch or read content. Whatever your use, if you want a good tablet at an affordable

REVIEW – Cooking with magnets. It almost conjures up an image of Wylie E. Coyote and a huge Acme magnet trying again to capture and fricassee that roadrunner. We’re going for something a little more civilized and will be looking at the Sunmaki 316 portable induction cooktop. No coyotes or roadrunners were injured in the

REVIEW – I previously reviewed a bike conversion kit from Swytch late in 2019. It was a well-thought-through system that converted your existing bicycle into a pedal-assist e-bike. I was very impressed at the time and so three years later when they announced a new and updated version, I was keen to find out exactly
REVIEW – Charging on the go while traveling, at the office, or even at a coffee shop can be a real pain. You need separate chargers, multiple types of cables, and finding enough power outlets can be a problem, too. Chargers with multiple USB-A and USB-C outlets are nice, but you still need to keep

REVIEW – HiFuture FutureFit Ultra2 smartwatch does Bluetooth calling really well. But HiFuture needs to put some work into several other functions of the watch to bring it into the present. Take a look to see if the Ultra2 does enough for you to justify its relatively low price. It’s well built overall, has a

REVIEW – Just about anyone born in the last 50 years or so has grown up with some aspect of Star Wars, and the iconic weapon from those films, the lightsaber. Most reproductions up until now have been flimsy toys that were really not satisfying at all. A “true” lightsaber is pretty much impossible to

REVIEW – I’ve been needing another desk in my home office. I have two PC setups across from each other, one for work where I’m limited with what I can install and another setup for personal use. Until the Flexispot Comhar Pro Q8 standing desk became available, I was using a piece of butcher block

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I’ve reached that stage in life where I notice my hearing is not what it used to be. While I can hear fine, It’s understanding I have issues with—especially in a crowded area with a lot of background noise. This past year, the FDA finalized a ruling that allows

REVIEW – I’ve wanted to get a large portable power station for quite some time now. The Mango Power E came up for review, and I was lucky enough to get picked to try it out. It was still pre-release, so I’ve waited since July like a child waiting for Christmas. Was it worth the

REVIEW – As a Photographer/Videographer, I have used several different types of gear to capture the best footage. I have tested and used a few different brands of gimbals, and have found that a good gimbal makes it very easy to support creativity. I have used gimbals for my Canon 5D DSLR cameras, but now

REVIEW – There’s an old saying from author Margaret Wolfe Hungerford in 1878, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Nothing proves her quote more accurately than the Trettitre TreSound1 Bluetooth speaker.

REVIEW – Years ago I had a Kensington trackball mouse and I loved it. But, because this was in the late ’90s / early ’00s, it grew long in the tooth, and I wanted something different once it died on me. Jump forward to the 21st century and I found myself looking into trackballs again
