REVIEW – After picking up an Oculus Quest 2 late last year, I have been happily plunking away at Beat Saber, which is by far my favorite game. Not only are there great songs to play with, but it actually gives a decent arm workout after a while of gameplay. I was told about the […]

REVIEW – One nice thing about laptops: They can serve as your only computer. The downside is they don’t lend themselves to good ergonomics. Most of us use them too low when placed on a desktop. The Kensington SmartView Organizing Laptop Riser aims to fix this. What is it? Built in collaboration with Microsoft, the

REVIEW – Headed over to a friend’s house and want to bring a few cold drinks along? Oh, you’re thinking of riding your bicycle there or maybe even walking? That takes the typical cooler out of play. What if I told you that there’s a solution that’s bike and/or hike-friendly and doesn’t take up much
REVIEW – Do you like action figures? What about LEGO minifigs? If you answered yes to either of those questions, I think you’ll enjoy ModiBot action figures too. Let’s find out why I say that.

REVIEW – In my household, we have 2 vehicles, 2 electric bikes, a regular bike, numerous pool inflatables, and various footballs, soccer balls, etc. So we have lots of things that need to be filled with air on a regular basis. Especially the pool inflatables during the summer. Good Lord, I am tired of blowing

REVIEW – In a sea of budget furniture options, it can be hard to find the goldilocks zone of quality at a price point that won’t break the bank. The small but mighty Workstream by Monoprice Computer Desk has some surprises built in, at an equally surprising price. What is it? The Workstream series is the

REVIEW – Like it or not, the charging world is headed towards USB-C. I don’t consider a desktop charger if it doesn’t have USB-C! Fortunately, the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station is a slick product that has you covered. What is it? The UGREEN DigiNest Pro is billed as a 7-in-1 charging station.

REVIEW – We moved into a new home almost a year ago and a good chunk of the wired landscape lighting no longer functioned. It was a combination of transformers, broken or rotted wiring, and general disrepair. As a result, I was already looking into some solar lighting when the opportunity came up to review
REVIEW – For a while now I’ve had some problems with my neck. I tend to wake up in the morning with soreness in my neck and shoulder blades. It seems to vary with the type of pillow that I use and the position that I sleep in at night. In an attempt to ease

REVIEW – If you are unfamiliar with Waterfield Designs (aka SFBags) then you should know that they make some of the best bags and gear, hands down. I still have laptop sleeves from 10+ years ago that have held up beautifully. This time, I got my hands on their new lovely Essential Duffel, which I’ve

REVIEW – Projectors used to be an item of decadence. I remember my uncle had a home-theater setup built around a projector mounted on his ceiling, and that he was proud of how much it had cost. When I was teaching college courses, we would need to seriously consider our budget if we had to

REVIEW – Back in the day, I used to work on my own cars but I gave it up as they became more computer than mechanical. My check engine light came on the other day so I decided to see if I could diagnose it myself but you need a scanner to do that these
REVIEW – I love movies, but watching them on the “small screen” doesn’t measure up to the experience of seeing them on “the big screen.” Post-Covid, more and more movies, and series are either sent directly to video or are available shortly after theater release. So, how can you bring that “big screen experience” home?

REVIEW – I have suffered from poor circulation in my legs and feet for nearly half my life. I also suffer from bouts of plantar fasciitis in my feet. Gotta love getting older. Over the years, I tried several different compression sox and sleeves. They all worked okay but were not perfect. So when I
