Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
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, […]

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’ve dabbled in mechanical keyboards for years and I’ll review one, enjoy using it while I’m testing it, and then immediately after the review is published I will go back to my prior favorite keyboard (If you want to know which keyboard is my current fave then check out Julie’s favorite gear

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
REVIEW – Every winter my wife and kids get nosebleeds throughout the entire season. Over the years we have found that humidity balance is a part of the issue and they all need humidifiers at night to sleep. Whenever I get to chance to test a humidifier, I jump at it. So, now I am

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
Brydge Stone Pro TB4 dual display dock review – Great for Mac, Windows and Chrome OS Read More
REVIEW – I don’t snack a lot, but when I do, I like to choose snacks that are low in carbs, have healthy fats, and taste great. Last year, I reviewed Blake’s Seed-Based rice crispy treats, and a couple of weeks ago Blake’s Seed Based sent me samples of their new Snacking Seeds. Let’s check

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

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,
ScootHop B1 Electric scooter review – It’s not just for kids, adults can scoot too! Read More
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

REVIEW – Are you still perfecting your home office setup? Did you recently upgrade to a convertible desk like we did earlier this year? If so, then you might be thinking of investing in monitor arms to keep your screens firmly in place and just where you want them. The dual-monitor arm from Vari is

REVIEW – If you’ve done any professional audio mixing, been a DJ or consider yourself an audiophile, you probably know just how expensive a quality set of open back monitor headphones can be. A decent entry level pair will set you back around $150 to start, and as you turn towards the pro side, north
OneOdio Monitor 80 headphones review – Open or closed? Read More
REVIEW – Some knives are just inherently cooler than others. For me, it doesn’t get much cooler than an automatic OTF (out-the-front) knife. There’s something about flicking a switch and having a razor-sharp blade spring forward that makes me feel like a secret agent, or a notorious hitman named John Wick for that matter. The
Tekto Skar OTF Knife review – Release your inner John Wick (just not with this knife) Read More
REVIEW – I recently reviewed a 3D scanner that I wasn’t very impressed by, so when Revopoint offered to send me their Pop 2 3D High-Precision Scanner, I thought I would give it a try. Would I regret it? Keep reading to find out! What is it? The Revopoint Pop 2 is a High-Precision 3D

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
