EnGenius Cloud 10 Gigabit ECS5512FP 4

REVIEW – From the first time I tried a network device from EnGenius, I was hooked on their products. Even as recently as several weeks ago, I tested and reviewed one of their business Access Points, which is now providing very fast internet connectivity for my basement. I have several network switches within my home

zendure superbasepro 2000 01

REVIEW – Where I live in California, the threat of power outage due to earthquakes, wildfires, or heat emergencies is very real. Is there a non-gas generator that can step up to the task? We’re talking far beyond charging up smartphones or tablets. What about higher-draw appliances? I put the Zendure Superbase Pro 2000 Power

Mujjo Envoy vegan leather laptop sleeve review – holds your screens and things for elegant transport

MujjoEnvoy20 201201

REVIEW – We have all noticed that our portable screens have been getting slimmer. Part of this is the removal of optical and floppy drives and part is due to fewer ports, which tend to need more device thickness to support properly. Most of us only need our main screen, maybe a phone, and some

occhi garage opener 19

REVIEW – More and more of the electronic products in our house are becoming smartified (I’m pretty sure that’s the technical term). What started as a dabbling with a couple of WiFi-controllable lights years ago has become an epidemic at our house with doorbells, lights, coffee makers, speakers, air fryers, and more available to control

magicycle 28

REVIEW – Ever since I had my first banana seat with a flower basket on the front bicycle, I have always loved to ride bikes.  After I graduated from college, I got my first real road bicycle, a Specialized Allez Comp.  I rode that bike on several MS 150 rides and made some lifelong friends

mophie speedport 120

REVIEW – I’m a big fan of multi-device chargers. I use one by the side of my bed every night to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch. I also use one at work when I need to charge my iPad, Android tablet, and Android phone to keep them up and running. I’ve never had a

That means you’ll be seeing some reviews from me in the future weeks and months to come. The latest mechanical keyboard that my fingers have been dancing across is the

CookingPal Multo review – all in one cooking system on your kitchen counter

Multo 13

REVIEW –It’s gift-giving season and while I don’t want to oversell it, one of the best gifts I think you could give to your loved one is one less thing to do.  What if you could give your significant other something that basically takes all the thinking out of cooking?  Like you just toss groceries
