REVIEW – Kids mean having to have one of everything with you at all times. Strollers help contain some of the chaos but most of the time they don’t have enough space for everything under the sun. This is where the Wonderfold W2 Luxe Double Stroller Wagon comes into play. A combination between a wagon […]

REVIEW – Standing desks and laptop stands are a great way to help improve posture and keep you from sitting in a chair all day while you work. Raising a laptop screen so it’s at the proper eye level can go a long way to alleviating neck and back strain, keeping you more comfortable and

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – We have an air compressor in our garage that we use to air up the tires of our vehicles and lawn tractor. The compressor works great, but it’s big and not convenient to use especially if we need to air up a flat tire on our lawn tractor which is stored in
ARTICLE/REVIEW – By now, pretty much everyone has heard of Tesla’s Autopilot – their version of driver assistance. It’s been in the news a lot with crashes (not necessarily the system’s fault), video of sleeping drivers careening down a Los Angeles freeway, and more. Plus, in its current iteration, the system requires you to have

 REVIEW – Workouts, running, cycling, walking… the Mifo S Wireless Earbuds are designed for doing the sporty things and the outdoorsey things with a rugged design and IPX7 water resistance. I beat these little guys around for a month to see how they hold up to the sweaty stuff. How do they do? To

REVIEW – Summer is definitely here in Texas! I have never been happier to own a pool due to the excessive heat we have been having here in south Texas. I am a first-time pool owner, and we just filled our pool in March. In an effort to save some money, I have been handling

REVIEW – The Worx Nitro 20V Cordless Paint Sprayer beats the heck out of brush painting in certain applications. The timing was perfect to review the Worx Nitro Paint Sprayer. My wife wanted a couple of paint jobs done and here came the Worx Nitro Sprayer for review. Last month I primed my under-deck lattice
REVIEW – Lasers are cool. Laser pointers, measuring tools, medical tools, and engraving/cutting tools are just a few of their many applications. I’ve always dreamed about how cool it would be to have an engraving and cutting tool to create personalized items and gifts. That day has finally come. I was given the opportunity to
REVIEW – Even before I purchased my home a couple of years ago, I always wanted a really versatile cooler for use at home when hanging out, at barbecues and whenever I would go to the beach. Until now, I used the conventional cooler that typically has to be filled with ice to keep the

REVIEW – I am probably one of the last people on earth without a dishwasher. But my kitchen is small, and there simply is not enough room for one. With only 2 people in the house, we don’t produce a lot of dishes, but like most people, I hate doing them. So I was excited

REVIEW – Here’s a scenario for you: For years, I’ve had a DIY surround speaker setup connected to our smart TV through a good receiver. The two front left/right speakers are really good quality and the left/right surround speakers are also good. Then there’s that large 10 in. subwoofer we keep behind the TV cabinet
REVIEW – Clothes, closets, hangers. We all have them. We all use them. There’s no rocket science here. But then, back in 2017, South Korean company Collabo Space decided that they would build the proverbial better mousetrap and came up with Boomerang Hanger – an improvement on the traditional hanger design. Then, in 2018, they

REVIEW – I’ve been a teleworker for ten years. I’ve managed to kit out my home office with about everything a software engineer could want: A nice sit/stand desk, a large monitor, a great dock for my work laptop, a cool mouse, a drive to backup my files, and so on. There’s one thing that

REVIEW – As a crafty, gadgety kind of person, I’ve always sort of wanted a 3D printer, but I’ve never really had anything I’ve really needed to print. Basically, I lacked a project.  Enter my son. He decided he wanted to make an acoustic levitator and apparently it requires printing some parts. What is an

REVIEW – I’ve mentioned before that my goal is to get robots to do my bidding before the machines become self-aware and go all Terminator on us. I’m both happy and terrified to report that we are one step closer to that day with the new X1 OMNI cleaning robot from Ecovacs. Let’s check it out.

REVIEW – I reviewed the original Nomad Sport Strap for the Apple Watch in 2017. I liked the band so much it has been my go-to everyday band since then. It has held up well but is starting to look a little worn. So when Nomad approached me about reviewing their new Sport Slim Band, I

REVIEW – New parents have so much to worry about these days, from getting proper formula to deciding on whether or not to get their baby vaccinated against COVID-19. Along with these new concerns come old standbys like is that rash normal, why hasn’t he/she pooped today, and is the baby sleeping safely? Technology might
REVIEW – We recently completed a 5.5-month world cruise with a couple of extensions in the Baltic. One thing that stood out to us in Europe, and especially the Scandinavian countries, was the huge number of bicycles and scooters – electric scooters. Most were the rental variety, like Lime and others, but wow – scooters

REVIEW – Like most young couples, my wife and I started our marriage with a cheap set of pots and pans. They got the job done, but they didn’t last forever. As we began to look for better quality cookware, and we eventually discovered cast iron. Over the years we’ve purchased a handful of cast
