REVIEW – I bought my first bidet at least 10 years ago, a cold-water-only model that went from zero pressure to jet-powered-fire-hose if you clicked it to the “2” setting instead of “1” while using it. Even with the drawbacks of such a model, I was instantly sold. I’ll try to keep this review PG-13

REVIEW – A good office chair is crucial if you spend very much time sitting at a desk. If you aren’t comfortable, sitting at the right height, with the right back, neck, and arm support, it can take its toll on your body. I’ve never had what I’d consider a good office chair. Years ago

REVIEW – It’s your friendly neighborhood keyboard nerd again. Recently, Julie, our Gadgeteer Guru, got the chance to review the NuPhy Air75 wireless mechanical keyboard and of course, I was jealous.

REVIEW – Gun ownership comes with tremendous responsibilities. Along with a full understanding of applicable laws regarding firearms, storing your firearm so that it is accessible when needed yet inaccessible to those that shouldn’t have access is a tough act to balance.

REVIEW – I have 12 acres of property of which most are wooded, but quite a bit requires mowing, trimming, and good old weed eating.
