REVIEW – Like it or not, the charging world is headed towards USB-C. I don’t consider a desktop charger if it doesn’t have USB-C! Fortunately, the UGREEN 100W USB-C DigiNest Pro charging station is a slick product that has you covered. What is it? The UGREEN DigiNest Pro is billed as a 7-in-1 charging station. […]

REVIEW – We moved into a new home almost a year ago and a good chunk of the wired landscape lighting no longer functioned. It was a combination of transformers, broken or rotted wiring, and general disrepair. As a result, I was already looking into some solar lighting when the opportunity came up to review
REVIEW – For a while now I’ve had some problems with my neck. I tend to wake up in the morning with soreness in my neck and shoulder blades. It seems to vary with the type of pillow that I use and the position that I sleep in at night. In an attempt to ease

REVIEW – If you are unfamiliar with Waterfield Designs (aka SFBags) then you should know that they make some of the best bags and gear, hands down. I still have laptop sleeves from 10+ years ago that have held up beautifully. This time, I got my hands on their new lovely Essential Duffel, which I’ve

REVIEW – Projectors used to be an item of decadence. I remember my uncle had a home-theater setup built around a projector mounted on his ceiling, and that he was proud of how much it had cost. When I was teaching college courses, we would need to seriously consider our budget if we had to

REVIEW – Back in the day, I used to work on my own cars but I gave it up as they became more computer than mechanical. My check engine light came on the other day so I decided to see if I could diagnose it myself but you need a scanner to do that these
REVIEW – I love movies, but watching them on the “small screen” doesn’t measure up to the experience of seeing them on “the big screen.” Post-Covid, more and more movies, and series are either sent directly to video or are available shortly after theater release. So, how can you bring that “big screen experience” home?

REVIEW – I have suffered from poor circulation in my legs and feet for nearly half my life. I also suffer from bouts of plantar fasciitis in my feet. Gotta love getting older. Over the years, I tried several different compression sox and sleeves. They all worked okay but were not perfect. So when I

REVIEW – Since purchasing my home, I have been remodeling my basement space by space. The remodeling has included removing paneling that was installed by the previous owner of the house, and replacing it with metal studs, insulation, and sheetrock. Since there were no studs previously installed, all of the framing I am doing is

REVIEW – My younger son gets bloody noses when the air in his room becomes too dry. A humidifier solves the problem. Previously, we’ve used a bulky model that was loud, a pain to fill up, and sometimes it leaked. We’ve been looking for something just as effective that’s smaller and won’t keep him up

REVIEW – I have used a cheap Ikea office chair as my desk chair for over 10 years so I jumped (or is it sat?) at the chance to review the E-Win Racing Knight Series KTB Gaming Chair. Let’s see if the E-Win Knight will be an upgrade or if I should stick with my

REVIEW – Courteous of the “curse of Coronavirus,” copious commerce commenced causing chaos capable of causing cursing and crying, consequent of criminal conduct. Persevering to prevent porch pirates who persist in plundering and pillaging my packages has become a personal pastime. All alliteration aside, Euki’s ZY-E3 solar-powered Wi-Fi camera can discourage such dastardly deeds. What
REVIEW – Did you know that poor audio is one of the biggest complaints about remote meetings? Zoom and Teams are great, but if you can’t hear or understand your colleagues, it creates a frustrating experience for everyone. To make it worse, most people never hear themselves on a meeting, so you often have no

REVIEW – The front of our house faces to the south, but it’s angled slightly towards the southeast. The result is that during the summer months, the evening sun peaks around the side of our house and floods into our back porch. I’ve been looking for a way to reduce the sun as well as

REVIEW – Since I have been working from home since March of 2020, I have been wearing flip-flops or sneakers of some kind. Back in the 90s, when I worked in the corporate environment, I used to have to wear skirts or dresses and the dressy shoes that go with them. I hated it! I

REVIEW – I don’t know about you, but getting my kids to brush their teeth and brush them well can be a daily battle. Especially now that we have one in braces, it is very important to make sure all those surfaces and grooves are hit when brushing his teeth. We got the chance to
