REVIEW – There’s nothing like the big-screen cinema experience or a larger-than-life sporting event. Unless you can fork over ridiculous coin for a monster flat-screen, the only way to experience 100+ inches of eye-popping glory in your home is with a projector. Xgody’s X1 Pro projector brings a big-screen punch to a wall near […]

REVIEW – Here I go again getting all excited and energetic about my newfound or maybe reenergized passion for bike riding and what I plan to do as a part of my weekly exercise once the New York weather breaks into a warm Springtime. If you have read my previous e-bike review, you already know

REVIEW – When it’s cold, there’s nothing like a wood fire to take the chill off the air and cheer me up. I’ve recently bought a house with a wood-burning fireplace, and am really excited to have one again, except for the irritation and mess of having to deal with the ashes. When this Yibintc

REVIEW – Coffee is life. While I’m not addicted to the point where I can’t function without it, I sure do enjoy a cup or two each day, and some of my top travel memories are discovering new coffee shops around the world. I’m fine with a standard drip-brew cup, but a well-made espresso just
REVIEW – Working from home often means managing more than one computer. Since my home office is a bit small and my desk only has room for one large monitor, I need to maximize space whenever possible. Being able to run multiple computers on my one large monitor makes everything a lot easier and that’s

REVIEW – I like flashlights. If you’re reading this, then I guess you do too. I’ve always been a sucker for Fenix flashlights. A couple of EDC-sized ones I own have taken a beating but still work great after all these years. Now Fenix is introducing the new WF26R (rolls off the tongue, don’t it),

REVIEW – To clean our pool, we have both a vacuum that attaches to our pool pump and a corded robot vacuum. But when we got an 8-seater hot tub, we weren’t sure how to clean it… short of draining it and scrubbing it by hand. When I saw the KOKIDO XTROVAC 110 pool vacuum,

REVIEW – Have you ever thought, I want to change the channel or play with my phone, but if I pull my arms out of this blanket, my shoulders and neck will be cold? Elegear recognized this dilemma and came up with a solution. The Wearable Hug Throw Blanket by Elegear fixes this issue by allowing

REVIEW – I’ve owned a lot of folding knives. It’s something I’m passionate about so I was skeptical when a brand I’d never heard of wanted me to test their new $59 knife with a silly name. Let’s see if the Vosteed Raccoon can earn the top spot in my pocket. What is it? The Vosteed

REVIEW – The folks at Shargeek have been on a roll lately. It wasn’t that long ago that the Retro 35W Mac-shaped charger charmed its way into the world, but the Retro 67 takes the nerd factor up a few notches with three USB-C ports and a green phosphor screen inspired display with some “Matrix”

REVIEW – Lights on bikes used to just be for hardcore commuters and racers doing 24-hour endurance events. But more recently, lights have become a fixture on an increasing number of bikes, even during the daytime. This is due to the increase in bike-to-car collisions and an attempt by cyclists to make themselves more visible

REVIEW – Tools, tools, and more tools. I should be known for saying that. As a DIYer, I hate having to work on anything and not having the most appropriate tools. So, whenever I get a chance to acquire more and different tools, I jump at the opportunity. I now get the chance to take

REVIEW – Thunderbolt has taken off as the de facto standard for connecting Macs, Windows PCs, and even iPads to a number of external accessories in the last several years. The recent update to Thunderbolt 4 has allowed docks to support even more speed and port options than ever before. Kensington has long been a
REVIEW – Have I ever mentioned how much I hate cold weather? Well, I really hate being cold. Maybe it has to do with living in south Texas for most of my life, but I will take 100-degree temperatures over 55-degree temperatures any day. That being said, I am also a cheapskate, and the cost

REVIEW – I am a DIYer with a ton of tools and I continue to purchase tools. I believe that it is very important to have the right tool for the job. One of my problems is that I have so many tools stored in so many places, that on many occasions I cannot find

REVIEW – Ever had your power go out for a couple of days? It can be scary, costly, and even dangerous. If you’re into camping or hitting the road in an RV you also know how precious power can be. I’m in California and between extreme weather events and increased demand on the power grid,
