Funwhole Lakeside Lodge Building Set review – a very detailed building brick set with lights

funwhole lakeside 1

REVIEW – I’ve been a longtime fan of building with Legos, but lately, I’ve been experimenting with Lego alternatives.  I recently built JMBricklayer’s 3-in-1 medieval weapon, and now I’m trying something a bit more domestic:  Funwhole’s Lakeside Lodge.  I’m hoping that this medium-sized set that comes with its own lighting system will be fun to […]

Droyd Blipper kids electric mini bike review – clean safe fun

droid blipper 3

REVIEW – Electric vehicles are everywhere nowadays, and it can be tough as a parent to pick out an electric mobility option for a kid or tween with the vast array of choices. Many are dangerously fast for kids, or woefully underpowered, or have a restrictive short range. I’ve seen sketchy scooter and e-bike models

Soundcore Space A40 earbuds review – Hearing is believing

Anker Earphones 2

REVIEW – Our aural environment is very important to us. How many times a day do you hear (no pun intended) someone say something like “It’s really loud in here.” Or “I can’t concentrate when music is playing.” Or “I hate that music <insert co-worker’s name> is playing right now.” Each of these scenarios could

Jlink Gaming Monitor 3

REVIEW – I’ve been a monitor fanatic since I first saw a Commodore PET computer in the 1980s. I primarily use high-resolution 4K displays for production work. However, I like to check out new tech every now and then, and the Jlink 27″ 165Hz Gaming Monitor was one of those things I just had to

UGreen Nexode 140W charger review – One charger to replace them all?

UGreenNexode140 6

REVIEW – The world of chargers is finally getting back to normal – and actually improving. Whatever caused the dearth of available products last winter has been replaced by dozens of multiport GaN power supplies and I’m happy about it! Today’s model is from a name you’ve seen a good bit here on The Gadgeteer:

Petoi Bittle Open Source Robot Dog review – Build and program your own four-legged-friend!

Bittle Rev 062

REVIEW – If you’ve ever seen those test videos of Spot, the robot “dog” created by Boston Dynamics, you know how equally exciting and terrifying the idea of a robot dog actually is. It’s cute to watch Spot prance around and right itself after an annoying human tries to knock it over, but it all

Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium with Quick Keys review – Maybe the best pen tablet yet

Xencelabs Pen Tablet 23

REVIEW – For those digital artists who are looking to buy a pen display, it’s easy to overlook the pen tablets that started it all—those black slates with no built-in screen that lay flat on a desk. True, display tablets are wonderful—I use one every day, but I didn’t begin my career using one. That

Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Wireless Color Supertank Printer review – Never buy ink cartridges again!

Epson ET2400 Rev 100

REVIEW – A good printer is a standard part of most home offices. Having worked as a print professional for years though, I’ve never owned my own printer. Why spend money on a printer at home when I’ve always had access to cutting-edge printers at work? Well, now that I work in technology I’ve finally

Clip Carry Gear 45

REVIEW – I’ve just introduced XGIMI’s Horizon Pro 4K projector to my video collection and now my favorite movie characters are jumping for joy!  It’s like watching films again for the first time!
