REVIEW – Shooting cinematic video on phones has taken off in the last decade. Since smartphone cameras have gotten so good, it makes sense that people would want to use them for low-budget movies, short films, commercials, etc. Typically smartphone cameras are limited to 16×9 video so how do you shoot cinematic, widescreen footage without

REVIEW – I’ve always enjoyed sketching and doodling, but I’ve never seriously dabbled in digital art so far. When UGEE offered us the chance to try out their UGEE 11.9 Inch Drawing Tablet, I thought it would be fun to try getting better at creating things. I tried out the tablet with a variety of

REVIEW – My cats have been happy with a standard water bowl for years, but as they get up in age, I start to worry about their water intake. I’ve tried fountains in the past, but they get gross easily and are very hard to clean. The easy to clean aspect of the Homerunpet Cat

REVIEW – When the pandemic drove everyone out of the gyms and into their houses, in-home fitness systems like Peloton took off. Everyone seemed to have one, which might explain why, for a while, they were so hard to get. And they were expensive. Peloton bikes are nice, but they are really just a stationary

REVIEW – I remember a time when having the carpets cleaned was an event. We were told to stay out of the house for the entirety of a Saturday and not to come back until it was dark. 12-year-old me was already on my bike by first light. Coming home was surreal; any moveable furniture

REVIEW – A couple of months ago, I reviewed the Arylic S50 preamplifier and really liked it. When I tested it, I used a tube preamp to listen to it and to test its features. What is really great, is that Arylic has gracefully sent me the Arylic Audio A50+ Wireless Aptx HD Multiroom HiFi

REVIEW – I keep hearing in the media how everyone is starting to bust out of their Covid seclusion and starting to travel, and I guess I’m part of that trend since I’ve had trips to Hawaii, Washington and Montreal all in June. The trips have involved a lot of air travel, and like most

REVIEW – No one likes to vacuum. At least, no one that I know. And even fewer people like to mop their floors. So wouldn’t it be great if there was a machine to handle those tasks for you? One that you can control from your phone? There is! It’s the ILIFE A11 LiDAR robot

REVIEW – Who needs a light box? Product reviewers, marketers, crafters, online sellers, bakers, or anyone who wants to create professional looking photographs of items that’ll fit inside one of them.
