TwoTrees TS2 052310414 scaled e1670840346524

REVIEW – While 3D printers have gotten more popular as prices have come down and the technology has advanced I haven’t seen quite the same rise in the popularity of laser engravers.

Drop Etymotic ERX 9

REVIEW – When I was sent the ERX earphones by Drop+Etymotic (built by Etymotic, tuned by Drop), my first thought was how much they would sound like just another pair of Etymotic earphones. Or would they have their own personality? Let me back up a bit. I’ve reviewed a few Etymotic earphones—and liked them for

herman miller logitech vantum 1

REVIEW – One more game!  That seems to be the cry of every video gamer, especially when we’re on a roll. Unfortunately, long bouts of gaming tend to go hand-in-hand with slouching, hunching, and other types of bad posture, and if we’re not careful, the end result can be a variety of health risks.  Wouldn’t it

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
