Qfun Digital Caliper Measuring Tool review – brings digital accuracy to a centuries-old measurement tool

QFunCalipers 5

REVIEW – Highly accurate measurements help everything from cooking and mixology to engine performance, aircraft stabilization, and a host of other engineering tasks. For physical measurements of objects, it’s hard to beat a set of Vernier Calipers. I was sent a set of digital Vernier calipers from Qfun to test, and have been measuring all […]

Royal Kludge RK96 mechanical keyboard review – good feel, cool backlighting, and a good price

Royal Kludge RK96

REVIEW – The popularity of mechanical keyboards has been on the rise for the last decade or so. Something about the feel of the key presses, the sound of the clicks, and the customizability of a good mechanical keyboard seems to speak to some people. I’ve been getting into reviewing them lately and I’m really

Orico TB3-S2 Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station review – Is it enough?

Orico TB3 3

REVIEW – Let’s be real here. If you use a computer (desktop or laptop) for anything more than web surfing, chances are that the available ports are not going to be enough. My work laptop is a 16” MacBook Pro and even its generous number of USB-C ports (4) doesn’t cut it. I use double

Togo Power Advance330 review – a funky little portable power station

TOGO Advance330 1

REVIEW – What a difference a few years can make. It seems like only yesterday that you couldn’t find battery power stations because … they didn’t exist. Then Jackery and others came along and made them a popular household item. Portable power stations are just so handy to have around. Plus, they fit any budget,

govee panels 16 1

REVIEW – Govee has sent me quite a few of their LED lighting products to review, and I’ve really enjoyed turning my dark basement office with a single small window into a bright mood-lit space that I can change as often as I’d like. Their latest Glide Hexa Light Panels have been one of the

Brydge Stone Pro TB4 dual display dock review – Great for Mac, Windows and Chrome OS

BSP4 01

REVIEW – Have you dialed in your desk set up at home or work? It seems like I’m constantly fiddling with both of mine. Sometimes it’s because there’s something new to review, but usually it’s just trying to improve layout for how I’m working at a given time. One key ingredient since the introduction of

vosteed morgan chef 1

REVIEW – The most important knife in any kitchen is the chef’s knife (aka the cook’s knife).  Described as “the workhorse of the kitchen,” it’s a versatile utility knife used for cutting and chopping, slicing and dicing, everything from vegetables to fruit to meat.  If you find yourself spending a lot of time doing prep

ScootHop10 5

REVIEW – Unless you’ve not walked around in a city or college campus town in a while (I know, there’s been a pandemic and all), you’ll know that electric scooters are a thing. There are companies that rent them, and there are many companies that sell them directly to end-users. One such company is ScootHop,

Merach Q1 intelligent magnetron rowing machine review

merach q1 rowingmachine 28

REVIEW – I’ve been on a 4 day per week workout schedule for many years now. By workout, I’m talking about weight-based workouts because I also walk 20 minutes 2x a day Monday through Friday on a treadmill. When it comes to my workouts, I’ve used a Boflew, had a short-lived gym membership at Planet
