REVIEW – In the last year I’ve picked up 3D printing on a filament printer as a new hobby. I’ve printed fidget toys, dragons, idea prototyping, and even some theater props and gone through several kilos of filament in the process. One of the issues I’ve seen, especially when printing large pieces, is running out […]

REVIEW – Mowing our lawn on a set schedule has proven to be a challenge with our busy lives and we’re too cheap to pay people to mow our small lawn. I’ve been eyeing robot lawnmowers for a while now thinking they may help with our problem. However, do they cut grass as well as

REVIEW – 2024 could be considered the year of the smart ring. While smart rings have been on the market for several years, this is the year that their popularity skyrocketed. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to review the RingConn smart ring, and it quickly became my favorite fitness tracking wearable due to

REVIEW – xTool is known for its innovation and many “firsts” in the world of laser machines. In a continuing effort to make crafting easier, xTool has announced its newest addition, the xTool M1 Ultra. Incorporating a laser, blade cutting, inkjet printing, and pen plotter into one machine that might just be the ultimate DIY
REVIEW – There are very few options out there for a fully wireless ergonomic keyboard with keywells. Fewer options still if you want it to be pre-built, and somehow even less choice if you don’t want a 3D printed case. MoErgo saw a need to improve on the limited consumer options available in this space,

REVIEW – I have been looking for a little travel air pump for a while so when HOTO asked me to try their new Air Pump Master I couldn’t wait to try it out. Let’s see how it performs. What is it? The HOTO Air Pump Master is a corded (12V) or cordless pump with

REVIEW – A good case keeps your iPad safe in transit and can improve ergonomics and efficiency in use. MAGEASY’s new Facet Folding Folio Case ticks both boxes and their EasyPaper Pro also pulls double duty by protecting your screen and providing a paper like feel when using your Apple Pencil. I was able to
REVIEW – More than half of my gadget reviews have been written on my iPad using an external keyboard—usually the Brydge Pro+ iPad Pro Keyboard that I still use—and like. Recently, I reviewed the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad (think Android-based iPad mated with a portable drawing display) and appreciated XPPen’s first effort. It’s a nice

REVIEW – They say that high blood pressure is a silent killer because there are no obvious symptoms when you have this condition. For many of us, the only time we have our blood pressure measured is during our annual physicals at our doctor’s office – and many of us don’t even do that. The
Withings BPM Connect review – a smart blood pressure monitor at a nice price Read More
REVIEW – The NITECORE EDC27 UHi flashlight is an easy to carry and handle, flat design flashlight that can run from blindingly bright to inconspicuously dim. It has one of the best, meaning most obnoxious, strobe functions I’ve seen and it may well work as a mild defense. The light is comfortable in the hand,

REVIEW – At the beginning of this summer, I decided to convert half of my garage into a gym, so I could move the gym equipment out of its current space in my basement in order to make space to build my new home office/studio. As I was designing the space, I decided to install

REVIEW – There are a lot of gadgets designed to help us take more and better pictures with our phones while on vacation, things like power banks, lights, and tripods. Moonside is trying to combine several of these into one convenient gadget called the MagLight (not to be confused with the oversized flashlight with the

REVIEW – My experience for mechanical keyboards is relatively new as I’ve just started using them in the last year, so when Gravastar offered the Mercury K1 Pro I had to give it a whirl. Gravastar has a record of futuristic looking gaming mice with some very incredible and unique designs. They’ve taken that stance

REVIEW – I get paid to sit on my butt all day and use my brain. Having a comfortable place to park my carcass from 8 am to 5 pm is a must-have necessity. The Boulies EP460 Office Chair fills that requirement and more. From the almost infinite adjustability to the airiness of the

REVIEW – Keeping food from spoiling has been the bane of human existence since the cavemen. Smoking and dehydration were the only ways to preserve anything for longer than a few days until the 1800’s when refrigeration was invented. This new fangled technology caught on quickly and allowed for meat and drinks to be stored

REVIEW – I’m old enough to remember shopping for a “tube” TV. In the mid-1980s, I drooled over the huge 36-inch Sony Trinitron, but could never afford one at around $1000 ($2,700 today). Now, TVs are much larger, much better, and less expensive than anything in the recent past. We are all better off today

REVIEW – I haven’t had to get new earbuds in about two years. The earbuds I had worked well, fit comfortably and I didn’t need anything more. Not too long along, those earbuds failed and I was on the lookout for a replacement set. I felt there was a design flaw in the pair that

REVIEW – It’s been a while since I reviewed a dash cam, so when the offer came to review the Nexar beam2, I was curious enough to accept it. It’s been installed in my MINI Cooper for a few weeks now, so let’s find out what I think of it. What is it? The Nexar
