Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – Many of us spend a lot of time at a keyboard, typing reports, writing reviews, emails, or other content, gaming, and other creative work. We don’t always think about what that’s doing to our necks, backs, shoulders, and other areas of our body if we don’t have the right posture and if our […]
REVIEW – I was very fortunate to finally get an inground swimming pool at my house this year. When planning the landscaping around the pool I tried to be very water conscious and use as little grass as possible. On the back left-hand side of our house where the pool pumps sit, I have a

REVIEW – Do you keep your computer monitor flat on your desk or put it on a stack of phone books to get it to eye level? If the answer to either of those is yes it’s time to fix that by getting a monitor stand. If you’re sitting at a desk looking at a
REVIEW – Our daughter is getting ready to move into her first apartment, and she’s a bit of an organizer. When she saw the Marklife P11 label maker that I had reviewed for my wife, she decided that she needed one for herself; thus, I’m going to be trying the L1 label maker from MakeID.

REVIEW – When style matters to you, luxury accessories for your favorite gadgets can be a fun (although pricey) purchase. Today I want to show you the Nomad Base One Max MagSafe wireless charger. It falls into both luxury and pricey categories. Is this fancy wireless charger worth the price? Let’s find out. What is
REVIEW – When I was much younger, I exercised almost daily with weights and other exercises that placed a lot of demand on my body. Now that I am somewhat older, I have chosen to switch to cardio and low impact exercises like rowing and bike riding. My wife and I have made bike riding

REVIEW – I’m going to be honest. I gave up using alarm clocks years ago in favor of my phone. However, I eventually grew to miss seeing the time in the middle of the night, so I requested a simple one for Christmas. Fast forward a few months and I now have the Sandman

REVIEW – When OTD offered to send over their latest L2-H electric scooter for review, I’m not sure what I was expecting. I’ve ridden scooters of this style with no motors, gas motors, and a range of electric motors (from barely-able-to-move to too-fast-for-comfort). This new scooter from OTD might be the goldilocks scooter for me,

REVIEW – During my normal WFH day, I spend at least 7 hours sitting in a chair. I try to remind myself to get up and walk around, but that does not always work. When I want to get up it always seems to be the time someone pings me through an instant messenger at

REVIEW – As my collection of portable batteries and power packs grows, the need for cheap (or free) electricity to keep them topped off increases as well. To avoid forking over my paycheck to Seattle City Light each month I’ve been looking for an effective solar panel kit to address this need. I may have
REVIEW – If you’ve ever wondered what Dyson designers could do if left on their own, the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner might be the answer. Lupe was started by a couple of ex-Dyson employees who set out to make a better vacuum cleaner. In many ways, they succeeded, but the Lupe Pure vacuum cleaner is
Lupe Pure Cordless vacuum cleaner review – it stands on its own Read More
REVIEW – Since everyone who reads my reviews already knows that I am remodeling a basement, I will not go into those details. Everyone also already knows that I believe in having every tool necessary for the job and as such, I have quite an extensive tool selection relevant to my DIY projects and tasks.

REVIEW – I don’t baby my iPhone but at the same time, I don’t want to scratch up the display so I use a screen protector. Screen protectors are a boring accessory, but now they don’t have to be. Today I want to show you the Glassie Smiley tempered glass screen protector which is surprisingly
REVIEW – Flashlights have come a long way in the last ten years. From the old AA Maglite to today’s high-brightness LED lights, there are so many options in many different form factors. When looking for an everyday carry flashlight, what do you need to take into account, and which ones will meet your needs?

REVIEW – The RK Royal Kludge RK89 keyboard is an entry-level mechanical keyboard with interesting features at a budget price. I love mechanical keyboards and this one ticks a lot of boxes I like to see in one. What is it? The RK Royal Kludge RK89 is an 85% mechanical keyboard that can be used
REVIEW – For several years I have been using 3D printers to make and model several items and have enjoyed doing so, especially for decorative items. Machines like 3D printers fascinate me and I find that they allow me to bring my imagination to reality. I am so excited to now get the chance to

REVIEW – It seems like it has been a long winter indoors or maybe just a long 2 years indoors. Covid put a halt to many of my outdoor activities, but now that things are getting a bit better, it is time to get outdoors and enjoy barbequing in my backyard again. I am ready

REVIEW – Of all the gadgets I review, my wife prefers I review the ones that actually do something—like clean, for instance. She couldn’t care less about my audio fixation. Nope—as long as I review something that makes her life easier, she’s okay with the time I spend testing and writing. Just so you know,

REVIEW – Yeah, yeah… I know what you’re going to say. “Bob, why do you need a fancy pill organizer when you get a cheap one at the dollar store?” That’s fair.

REVIEW – Despite how many years have gone by, I will never forget my ordeal during Hurricane Sandy in New York. During the 14 days that I spent without power, I really learned the lesson of making sure that I always have adequate power on standby for phones and to power radios, small fridges, etc.
