REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few Vosteed knives so far including one of my favorite knives, the Vosteed Raccoon pocket knife, and have been impressed with each knife. I was hoping they would come out with a larger blade as most of their offerings are around the 3.25 inch length. Enter the Vosteed Gator folding […]

REVIEW – I used to work from home full time. Now I work from home one day a week. My main computer setup for the work side of my desk has two 27-inch monitors. At work, I have the same setup. My personal laptop is a MacBook Pro 16 that I got this past Christmas.

REVIEW – I have always been fascinated by the cool crafting projects I have seen for sale at various farmer’s markets and artists’ shows in the area.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Even though I brush my teeth twice a day and floss regularly, I still have problems with build-up behind my lower front teeth due to how they are crowded. This is my trouble spot and where the hygienist always spends the most time torturing, I mean cleaning. That is until I switched

REVIEW – My grandpa was a photographer and leather camera bags will always remind me of him so when Oberwerth offered their William Camera and Messenger Bag for review I had to get it because it looks like a bag he always carried. Let’s see what the Oberwerth William Camera and Messenger Bag has to

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been four years?), I reviewed the Edifier W860NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone. I liked those headphones but had some reservations I’ll get into later in the review. Four years later, Edifier has released the new WH950NB headphone—and boy, did they learn some things! What is it? The
REVIEW – I saw a review for the Mingda Magician X 3D printer on YouTube about a year ago. I was impressed by how easy it was to use and the results it produced. I remember thinking that if I ever had the opportunity to review a Mingda 3D printer, I wouldn’t pass it up.

REVIEW – Drones are cool and they’re both easier to fly and more affordable than ever. They also provide a cinematic point of view that there’s really no other way to get. Holy Stone recently released a new model called the HS720G and I got the chance to check it out. What is it? The

REVIEW – I have used the same portable Bluetooth speaker for years now. Sure, I’ve tried out others, but I always go back to my tried and true, basic waterproof speaker. This time around, however, there was some true competition with the Monster DNA Max wireless speaker. Did it dethrone my old one? Let’s see.

REVIEW – The gadget industry has talked for years about everyone having a smart home, but the way they’ve gone about hasn’t been very smart at all. Every vendor has their own products, their own hubs, their own standards, and their own protocols. This has made it difficult if not impossible for the various smart

REVIEW – Just prior to the The Bitvae Water Flosser coming up for review my dentist told me to start water flossing. What timing! The concept brings back my memories of the original boxy, water flosser my Mom bought. It sat on a wall mount because there were no countertops in our house, just standalone

REVIEW – If you are hard of hearing, the years 2017 and 2022 should mean something to you. In 2017, Congress passed the “Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act“ and in mid-2022, the FDA finalized the rule enabling access to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. It took ‘em long enough. Before these historic laws, hearing aids were prescription

REVIEW – Using a computer today often requires plugging in a large number of external devices – monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, storage, and so many other devices to plug in and use.

REVIEW – A few months ago I reviewed the original Vosteed Raccoon button lock which has become one of my favorite knives. There were, however, a few complaints on the interweb about being able to force the lock if you hit the spine hard enough. Vosteed listened and decided to make the Raccoon even tougher by

REVIEW – Infrared cameras, or those that can “see” or image heat, are becoming more common and less expensive. The InfiRay Xinfrared T2S+ thermal camera is tiny and just pops into the USB-C port of your phone. When paired with the companion app, it lets you create thermal images of almost anything, as well as accurately
