REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a variety of outdoor solar lights designed to add a decorative flair to your property at night. Today, I want to talk about Quntis Solar Deck Lights, which are flat lights that you can attach right to your deck or sidewalk. But instead of using them as decorative lights, my plan […]

REVIEW – I’ve been eyeing solar phone chargers for quite a while and when the opportunity came up to review the Sunmoove 6.5W Solar Charger I decided to give it a try! An alternative charging method in case of emergency or while out in the woods could be a very nice thing to have on

REVIEW – I pretty much taught myself to play piano and guitar when I was just a kid by using music books back before the internet was a thing. Then after becoming an adult, I became obsessed with the ukulele. At one time, I had over a dozen ukes in my collection. Unfortunately, I’ve let
REVIEW – This review is for bed topper shoppers. The BedStory Mattress Topper comes conveniently packaged, is easy to set up, and just to build excitement, needs a couple of days sitting uncovered on the bed before you’re supposed to sleep on it. The wait actually allows the topper to expand to its normal size

REVIEW – In June of 2023, I reviewed the FlexiSpot E7Q Odin 4-Leg standing desk. Its stability is phenomenal. I like it so much that it replaced my trusted (and really good) UPLIFT standing desk. The E7Q remains my daily driver, so to speak. Its four motors (one per leg) will quickly and quietly raise

REVIEW – I’ve heard the best camera is the camera that is with you. Today’s smartphones have very capable cameras and chances are we almost always have our phones with us. Snapping on SnapGrip from ShiftCam makes our phones feel and behave more like a traditional point-and-shoot camera. For me, contorting my fingers in such a way as to

REVIEW – Why do people need a digital clock these days when we have smartwatches, smartphones, and computers? When it’s a cool gadget for your desk, that’s why. Today I want to show you the Vobot Mini Dock which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. It’s a clock that you’ll actually want to make space
Vobot Mini Dock review – A very cool 7-in-1 desk hub app clock! Read More
REVIEW – I hate ironing, but every weekend I iron my clothes for work. Many years ago, I used a traditional iron until I decided to look for an easier for what is a tedious task for me, and I have been using a Steamer ever since. I started with a large floor-standing Steamer but

REVIEW – Summer is right around the corner and in Southern California that means beach trips, and while I’m not much of a camper, I do enjoy a lightweight camp chair for the beach. Typically camping stuff is lighter and more compact than stuff made for the beach, and when the Sitpack people came out

REVIEW – When normal people (not audiophiles) shop for earphones, sound quality is usually not at the top of the list. It’s always price and convenience first. Some earbuds (earphones, in-ear headphones, whatever) are expensive ($500+) while others are more affordable and thus, more popular. JLabs is an audio company famous for its line of

REVIEW – I volunteer with a local Scout troop. The parking lot is nearly pitch black at night, making it tricky to walk outside after meetings. Fortunately, I had a chance to try out a pair of lanterns, the Volterrex 4,000 lumen Pro Lantern, and the Volterrex 19,500 lumen Balloon Light kit. What is it?
Volterrex LED Lanterns review – Very bright ideas Read More
REVIEW – For as long as I can remember, we have had one of those floor-standing 5-gallon water dispensers in our house. You know the kind: big, heavy, 5-gallon jugs that sit on top of a dispenser that dribbles out water 1 cup at a time, slowly. I had to jump at the chance to
REVIEW – I’ve been searching for a really small knife that I can use for opening boxes down in my office (aka Gadgeteer HQ). My criteria are that it has to be small, easy to use, and Gadgeteer worthy. The latest one that I’ve had the chance to review is the Ant Design Pathfinder+ V2
Ant Design Pathfinder+ V2 multi-tool review – is this my new favorite box opener? Read More
REVIEW – A solid tripod system is crucial for any kind of video or film production. While handheld shooting is increasingly popular all the time, there is still going to be a need for a solid tripod setup. There are many manufacturers with endless combinations of tripod heads & legs to choose from, so which
REVIEW – I think it goes without saying that Leatherman makes some of the best multitools available. I own a couple of different models of theirs and have always thought them well-made and up to almost any task thrown at them. So when the Leatherman Raptor Rescue came up for review, I was very interested
