REVIEW – My home office is not only my workspace but also my hobby space. Multiple 3D printers and a laser engraver undoubtedly create most of the mess in the room. I decided to take on the Ultenic U10 Pro vacuum cleaner and see if it could help with my situation. What is it? The […]

REVIEW – Every two weeks I go to Costco and buy at least 3 cases of bottled water. I try to keep that schedule to a bi-weekly cadence, but somehow before the 2 weeks are up, my kids say “Daddy!! We are out of water”. While it is great that they drink so much water,
REVIEW – The Olight Javelot flashlight is a new model from Olight. It’s a specialist. It does bright, in spotlight fashion. If you need medium to long range bright illumination from a relatively small, easy to carry light, this may be the one (or another one) for you. Olight includes a durable plastic holster for

REVIEW – The portable power station market is getting interesting. Just a few years ago, all you could get were small, hand-held units with an AV outlet, a couple of USB ports and a 12V “cigarette lighter” port—all fairly basic stuff. Now, everybody seems to offer power stations in a vast array of sizes, ports,

REVIEW – Art was something I loved in school, but once I graduated, I never took it any further. I still have my sketchbook and all, but I did not delve into drawing tablets. Since the Simbans PicassoTab XL is marketed towards beginners, I figured it was the perfect way to try to get started

REVIEW – I’ve noticed that when I go camping with our Scout troop, I usually shove my lunch into any nearby paper or plastic bag I can find. I never remember to use a small cooler. Now I get to try out a soft-sided lunch bag without a load of branding, which is exactly my

REVIEW – Lately my back has started to give me clues that I am getting older. That includes not being able to sit for long without my lower back protesting so I literally jumped out of my chair when the chance to review the Vari Curve Electric Standing Desk came up. Let’s see if the Vari

REVIEW – The FERLORD Non-stick Frying Pan is a medium-weight, well-made skillet that has a modern, no-stick coating made by a name-brand company. The silicone-coated handle is secure in the hand and can’t burn you or slip out of your grip. With nothing to charge on this device and having no moving parts, I had

REVIEW – Ever see those “deconstructed” phone frames on social media feeds, and think “oh wow I had one of those!” Recently, Alex Birch and Andy Chen got a chance to create some phone art of their own thanks to the Xreart Deconstructed tech artwork series. Alex got an Original iPhone, and Andy got the

REVIEW – I was bitten by the mechanical keyboard bug many years ago. I always hated the cheap membrane keyboards that come with PCs. The typing experience was squishy and unsatisfying. If you like mechanical keyboards, you know what I’m talking about. I have several now in my lineup and switch them out every so
REVIEW – I have been a fan of the Raspberry Pi mini-computer for many years, and I have built several projects using this device. Over the past 2 years, I have used two of them to run a Dakboard display in my home office in support of my daily scheduling and one specifically for my

REVIEW – There is a curious tug-of-war in the smartphone world: what color phone is the most fitting for my personality, and what case is the most protective? Since opaque phone cases are usually the ones we get, why not have them be interesting? That’s the first thing I noticed about the Monocarbon Carbon Fiber

REVIEW – You know when a watch comes up for review and several Gadgeteers “reply all” with “That’s a really good watch” that you’re in for something neat if you get to review it. Such was the case with the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 smartwatch, and I was lucky enough to get it and give it

REVIEW – The power in my house went out recently and fortunately (or unfortunately) I did not have to eat all my ice cream before it melted since it was restored in about six hours. That was about the time I started worrying though because I realized since I don’t have a generator I would have
