Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I’ve had a gym membership in the past, but I’d rather work out in the comfort and privacy of my own home. So I have accumulated a variety of workout gear that includes a Sole Fitness treadmill, a low-end Total Gym, and a collection of hand weights, resistance bands, etc. And now I […]

REVIEW – My husband has accumulated many things he needs to bring in his everyday travels. Shorts or pants pockets can no longer hold what he needs on a daily basis. He has been looking for a good lightweight, small bag to carry his two wallets (yea, don’t get me started!), reading glasses, a large

REVIEW – I have been into Raspberry Pi mini-computers for several years. I have found them to be a good solution for many small projects like running my DakBoard, to handling simple graphics for my podcast. Over the past year, I have upgraded my network infrastructure to support 10G, and I have been searching for
ZimaBoard 832 Single Board Server review Read More
REVIEW – Face it, most Bluetooth speakers today sound decent enough to enjoy, and some even sound darn good. So, assuming all Bluetooth speakers sound good, what distinguishes one from another? Currently, it’s usually the design that is the deciding factor. How “cool” is it? It can be overly designed for the “In” crowd like
REVIEW – In my ongoing quest for a robotic companion to reside on my desk, I have found few worthy contenders. While the ClicBot (reviewed in June 2022) and the Petoi Bittle (reviewed in November 2022) came close, neither of them quite fit the bill. Taking my search to the next level, I have been
REVIEW – I have mentioned before that one thing I enjoy doing is detailing my cars. You can be much more efficient and use less water when washing your car using a pressure washer. A gas-powered pressure washer can do the trick, but then you have to worry about engine maintenance, making sure you do
Chemical Guys ProFlow PM2000 electric pressure washer review Read More
REVIEW – Does your job require you to sit all day? Mine does. I sit and stare at 2 computer screens all day in my art directing job. I love my work and can sometimes be so focused on what I’m doing that 5 hours can pass without taking a break (not smart). Sitting for

REVIEW – If you’re someone who cares deeply about the final quality of shots you take on your camera, you are probably using some sort of post-production software. It may just be cropping and a few tweaks in your computer’s photo software, or maybe you downloaded a photo-processing app. But if you’re serious, you’ll have

REVIEW – I cook with thermometers all the time because I don’t trust my skills. One day, the sleek Typhur InstaProbe thermometer popped up in my social media feeds. It LOOKS pretty neat but is it good enough to dethrone my reliable Thermoworks Thermapen One? What is it? The Typhur InstaProbe is a battery-operated thermometer
Typhur InstaProbe kitchen thermometer review – Way faster than the rest? Read More
REVIEW – I’ve owned and reviewed oodles of knives but I always seem to use my $5 utility knife when opening boxes or cleaning up 3d prints or just whenever I need a super sharp edge. I was looking for a super small utility blade holder (I even 3d printed a few) and found the Exceed

REVIEW – There are a few features that most new cars have that have arguably made driving more enjoyable and perhaps safer. Those features are touch-screen displays that let you interact with your car in an efficient way, Android Auto and Apple Carplay, which mimic features of your phone on that touch screen for things

REVIEW – I’m an Android guy, have been for decades now, and will stay one. That being said I’ve been jealous of my iPhone friends who have MagSafe compatible phones. They have all the cool accessories like charging stands, wallets that just stick to the back of the phone, and the same with wireless battery

REVIEW – Wouldn’t it be nice to always have a cooler available, without having to worry about adding ice? Wouldn’t it be nice to have an extra fridge or freezer around, just when you need it? The Aobosi Portable Car Fridge is all that, and a little more. It plugs into a 12V cigarette lighter,
Aobosi Portable Car Fridge review – A big cooler, without the ice! Read More
REVIEW – We live in an area that’s pretty rural, but our son lives in a major city. He’s looking for an ebike that makes it easier for him to ride to all those shops that are too far to walk yet too close to drive. As he lives in an apartment on the third

REVIEW – Keyboard nerd here! Whenever mechanical keyboard-related items are up for grabs, I always volunteer to review them. This is no different. Here’s a set of keycaps from a new to me company, The KapCo. Let’s see how good of a job the team of seven young people from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia can do.
REVIEW – Thinking about the technology in my home, most gadgets are here for convenience, entertainment, or comfort. There are very few that can save lives. No home should be without working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and X-Sense’s SC07-W interconnected alarms fill the job with Gadgeteer finesse! What is it? X-Sense model SC07-W sounds
REVIEW – I have been a Podcaster for the past 3 years, with more than 150 published episodes. My podcast is available via my website, almost every podcast app that is out there, and more recently on YouTube. The common mandatory requirement for all of the episodes is the quality of the audio produced. Good,
Mackie DLZ Creator podcast mixer review Read More
REVIEW – With my job, I sometimes need to make training videos to support field technicians. They can be quick how-tos or longer courses that cover a subject more extensively. This means audio is very important. Many times voice overs can be added after the fact but if I’m on location, it’s better to record
REVIEW – I remember my first apartment well. It was a 200 square feet hovel above a lawyer’s office and in the summer it was so hot I tapered candles would melt. I would have loved to have an air conditioner like the Turbro Finnmark FMP05AC! What is it? The Turbro Finnmark FMP05AC is a
REVIEW – If you have young kids as I do, and if they are into electronic toys like mine, then you know that a large supply of batteries and a capable toolset are “par for the course”. Don’t you hate how tiny the screws on toys are, or, as a matter of fact, just about
