REVIEW – I have been a photographer and videographer for many years, and over time I have accumulated more gear that I have storage space for. One piece of gear that is really important is a great tripod and for those of us who do a lot of mobile on-the-go shooting, a monopod becomes a

REVIEW – I like to think I’m a bit of a minimalist in the area of everyday carry. While lots of women carry tote style handbags, I prefer a wristlet or no purse at all, just a wallet and my phone in my pocket. Don’t get me wrong: I like a fancy handbag as much

REVIEW – In our kitchen, we have a limited amount of counter and cabinet space, so there’s only room for so many appliances. When new appliances come along, some find a place in our kitchen, but some do not. Two of the appliances that we use regularly are an air fryer from Cosori and a

REVIEW – I’m a huge fan of e-bikes. I’ve ridden them on many occasions (usually in other cities) and I find them to be a really great way of getting around instead of a car. You get a little exercise and yet you won’t be drenched in sweat when you get to your destination. With

REVIEW – We go through a lot of hand vacuums in my house. We get a new one just about every year because my wife wears them out, using them almost daily around the house. We have a small dog that sheds a lot of hair! So it gets everywhere. Thank God he’s so cute,

REVIEW – Even though I’m the Gadgeteer and love tech, gadgets, and gizmos. I still have a huge fondness for analog tools, and products. Case in point – notebook/journal covers. I love them.

REVIEW – The world of flashlights is finely-grained. There are models for everything from tiny “find-the-key-hole” pinch lights to huge handheld spotlights that are weatherproof and can be dropped into caves, tossed into a truck bed with other equipment, or used to signal in rivers without harm. The ThruNite TC15 v3 is the unit I’m

REVIEW – One of my goals for 2022 is to greatly improve my YouTube channel. I’ve been including a lot more video snippets in my reviews, but I also plan to do some stand-alone videos that may or may not be paired with a written article. One big thing that I need to improve when

REVIEW – Can furniture be a gadget? I get this type of question from friends who visit the site after asking about a device I’m using and reading the review. I think it can, just like alarm systems, home automation, or car tech. Anything that lets you tweak and alter your life, to me,

EarFun’s Free Pro 2 earbuds fit the bill and are a great balance of performance and features. Read on, intrepid Gadgeteer… What is it? The EarFun Free Pro 2 is a pair of Bluetooth,
REVIEW – The old rule is “invest in shoes and sheets”.
