Pitakaminicasestand 15

REVIEW – There are cases, stands, and other options everywhere for the standard and iPad Pro models.

Pitaka has recently updated their business-class case for the mini to add their MagEZ (Pita!Flow?) charger attachment. They were

ortur laser 12

REVIEW – There have only been a handful of times in my life when I wished I had a laser cutter/engraver. It’s the sort of tool that hasn’t ever been at the top of my mind, but now that I’ve received the ORTUR Laser Master 2 S2 24V laser engraving machine to review, it’s opened

Carex TENS 7000 pain management device review – pocket-sized pain relief

carex tens7000 11

REVIEW – Good things can come with age.  Retirement – that’s good.  Social Security deposits – also good. Travel without regard to schedules – really, really good.  Aches and pains – not so much.  If you suffer from chronic muscle and nerve pain, treatment with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, can bring temporary relief.

Plugable dock 7

  REVIEW – It seems like everyone is working from home these days! If your employer is like mine, they give you a laptop, but the rest of the WFH kit is up to you. Working all day on a 15 inch laptop screen might be OK for some, but most crave a bit more

Greenland Air Conditioner 7

REVIEW – Our house was built in 1877.  So of course, it was not built with air conditioning.  It also was not built with any ducts or vents, so it would be next to impossible to install central air.  In our little mountain town, air conditioning is not often needed.  If it gets above 90
