REVIEW – It’s summer and that means one thing: end of school parties, graduation parties, barbeque and pool parties. The pressure is on me as a gadgeteer to have the most innovative party stuff, since my friends have come to expect at least one cool thing on display every time I throw a get-together. I’m […]

REVIEW – I’ve always been attracted to products that are designed to do more than one function. That’s why the WORX Aerocart caught my eye when I first saw it. I immediately imagined all the work that I could get done using one tool instead of many. Let’s check out this transformer yard cart from

REVIEW – I like using multiple monitors. I’m not a stock trader or gamer but I’ve used many setups over the years with multiple monitors and I’ve always enjoyed being able to keep multiple things in front of me so I can have an app for writing on one monitor, while keeping an eye on
MagicRaven 16” 2.5K 3:2 Portable Monitor review – portable, powerful, pixels Read More
REVIEW – Back in May of 2022, I reviewed Pitaka’s MagEZ Slider. There was a lot to like and a couple of things to improve upon. Version 2 is now out and they’ve addressed pretty much everything I was looking for. As luck would have it, I had a week long tradeshow during this review
Pitaka MagEZ Slider 2 review – Faster, better, stronger Read More
CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – It’s time to get all science-y folks as today, we’re going to explore the mysteries of electrolyzed water. Per Wikipedia: Electrolysed water (electrolyzed water, EOW, ECA, electrolyzed oxidizing water, electro-activated water, or electro-chemically activated water solution) is produced by the electrolysis of ordinary tap water containing dissolved sodium chloride. The electrolysis of

REVIEW – For the past two years, my wife and I have been working on the landscape at the front of our home. My wife is very good at creating beautiful landscapes, and based on the results of her work in our garden, her skills are pretty obvious. The only task that I am responsible

REVIEW – When is enough, enough? I don’t know yet, but I’m having fun finding out! Today, I’m looking at the SR32 Polaris flashlight from Imalent. I previously tested the Imalent MS08 and RS50 flashlights that put out 34,000 lumens as a floodlight and 20,000 lumens as a spotlight respectively. Both are incredibly bright, but
REVIEW – I think we’ve got at least a dozen random power banks at this point scattered around our house, with quality and usefulness varying wildly between them. Most aren’t capable of charging anything larger than a tablet though, and even the ones that can charge laptops do so very slowly until you get to
Baseus Blade laptop power bank review – slim but hopefully not shady Read More
REVIEW – Portable monitors have exploded over the last few years, with a wide variety of brands and sizes, though most tend to be the ~15″ 1080P sort. I’ve seen a couple of gaming-focused portable monitors, but many have been a low 60 Hz refresh rate, which isn’t the best for gaming. Models with high
REVIEW – Summer is coming, and it’s going to get hot here in the south. I need a way to keep to our toy poodles from getting too roasty-toasty, and I’m hoping that this cooling pet mat from Rywell will help them out. What is it? The Rywell Arc-Chill pet cooling mat is a mat
Rywell Arc-Chill pet cooling mat review – cool to the touch Read More
REVIEW – I entered the world of electric cars last year in July when I purchased a Chevrolet Bolt. I went for the Bolt over a Tesla, mainly because of the significant price difference. I love the car; it has been a very enjoyable experience. 99.9% of my charging is done at home on a
J+ Booster 2 electric vehicle charger review – Now my Bolt can charge almost anywhere! Read More
REVIEW – Last October, my brother (the real woodworker) and I reviewed the Atezr P20 Plus laser engraving machine. Despite a few quirks—addressed in this review—we quite liked the engraver. In fact, my brother still uses it to make great gifts and a few money-making side projects. This review is a follow-up to the P20

REVIEW – I have somewhat of an extensive home network that probably only appeals to IT geeks like me. The last time that I checked, I have approximately 120 network devices (wired/wireless) connected to my network. I have been fortunate to be able to review several robust network devices designed for business use but still

REVIEW – Hey! Information addicts, meteorology maniacs, weather wizards, and greenhouse gurus! SwitchBot’s new Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer measures temperature and humidity (relative, absolute, and vapor pressure deficit), and dew point, in a petite portable package and at an unbelievably good price. What is it? The SwitchBot Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer is a battery-powered temperature and humidity meter

REVIEW – In case you haven’t noticed, the stormy season is here as summer is upon us—at least in Florida. And with storms come power outages. We’ve had a couple of power failures already, along with some necessary roof repairs, but I digress. If you live in a place that gets (sometimes violent) storms, you
REVIEW – I live in the Pacific Northwest so every winter the constant rain makes my driveway and back porch mossy and dirty. Every summer it would take days to clean with the regular pressure washer nozzle so I decided to try out the Eveage 13 in surface cleaner with wheels to see if I

REVIEW – My mechanical keyboard obsession continues but in a smaller way – literally. Today I want to tell you about the DOIO KB03-01K macro keyboard. Is it useful or useless? Let’s find out. What is it? The DOIO KB03-01K is a 3-button keyboard with a double knob that can be used to launch apps,
DOIO KB03-01K macro keyboard review – Great little macro pad if you can get it to work Read More
REVIEW – When I was a kid, there was one blanket in the house that was coveted by everyone. It was baby blue, had a pretty open weave, and was made of some synthetic fabric that made it both soft and lightweight. But the best feature was this probably polyester trim that went around the

REVIEW – I’ve been wanting to try an E Ink tablet for a little while so that I can take handwritten notes on a digital device. My hope was that the tablet would convert the handwriting into typewritten text to make it more readable, sync them to all my devices, and then allow me to

REVIEW – I’m pretty sure if you’re reading this, you’re into EDC. Me, too! I scour the interwebs for the latest and greatest even if I can’t exactly afford them. The biggest trend going I’ve seen is titanium. Everyone is using it in their products, like pocket knives, prybars, keyrings, multi-tools to fit your keyring,
