NSOM 09

REVIEW – Your phone is likely the last thing you use before going to bed and one of the first things you check after waking up. A good bedside charger is a must have. If you’re also running an Apple Watch and AirPods; well you’re going to want a 3-in-1 charger to keep things simple. […]

Cosori turboblaze smart air fryer 5

REVIEW – Fun holiday gathering post dinner/pre dessert discussion topic: Does every appliance now need to be “smart”?  I have a “smart” carpet cleaner and I have exactly zero idea why it needed to be smart; now I have an app  that tells me when it’s on or when the water is low, two very

woojer vest3 9

REVIEW – As I started writing this review, I did the math and realized I’ve been playing virtual reality games for nearly a decade now (starting with the Oculus Rift developer kit 2 in 2014). Even with that early hardware there have been amazing moments that are etched in my memory, like when my cockpit

Lofree Flow Lite mechanical keyboard review – A less expensive, wonderful low profile mechanical keyboard

lofree flowlite 6

REVIEW – I love Lofree keyboards. I’ve reviewed no less than four of them. My favorite is the Lofree Flow. I understand that for some $160 might be a hard pill to swallow for a keyboard especially if you’ve never used a low-profile keyboard. Or, let’s say, you don’t care for the looks of the

Nomad Rocky Point Band for Apple Watch review – So good I bought a 2nd one

NRPB 01

REVIEW – Can you believe it’s been almost 10 years since the Apple Watch was first released? My watch band selection has continued to grow over the years as the band interface has remained unchanged. One other constant is the quality of Nomad’s watch bands. The Rocky Point Band is their newest and for me,

QlearSoul ONE-Q vinyl record player review – Classic look and sound!

QlearSoul ONE Q Vinyl Record Player 15

REVIEW – Record players are magic music boxes to me. The whole concept of putting tiny grooves in a plastic disk and then having the pattern transfer back into sound is incredible. My daughter got a record player earlier this year and has started collecting records and I’m fascinated. I grew up in the tape
