REVIEW – I’m a big coffee fan, but not so much a fancy coffee fan. I like an occasional flavored java or a shot of flavored creamer here and there, but mostly I just like my coffee black with a touch of sweetener. However, when my daughter came home from college to work this spring, […]

REVIEW – When someone mentions Manfrotto, what comes to mind are photo and video camera tripods and monopods. To me, Manfrotto was synonymous with them. So, when I heard that Manfrotto had camera gimbals I knew I wanted to try one out and see just how well it performed. If their gimbals are as solid in

REVIEW – My hair has always been fine, but ever since my adventure with cancer 10 years ago, it’s been also been thin and it sheds a lot. This is most likely the lasting side effects of chemo and the fact that I was thrown into instant menopause with my first treatment. I’ve tried different

REVIEW – I have owned a lot of Bluetooth speakers in my life, and most of them are gone. After repeated use and carrying them around in backpacks, briefcases, suitcases, cars, and more, they get banged up, worn out, or more likely than not the battery just won’t hold a charge anymore. And most of

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I remember having a flatbed scanner back in the day. It was always a pain to scan a large document because it had to be done one page at a time and if the pages were printed on both sides… well, ugh. These days, if I need to scan a document, I’ll

REVIEW – Drivers, start your engines! Ahh, those words that lead to high-speed excitement, the occasional crash, and a lot of left turns. If you fancy yourself an armchair racer, let’s check out the officially licensed Audi R8 LMS GT3 2019 from Creative Double Star and see if it has you saying, “Boogity, boogity”. What
REVIEW – 3D printers are no longer just for people who know how to use CAD programs to create 3D models and they are no longer for people who have 1000’s of dollars to spend. 3D printers are now available for everyone even a newbie who only has $100 to spend. What kind of 3D

REVIEW – Once in a while a product comes along that revolutionizes an industry. The Raspberry Pi is arguably one of those products. If you’ve never used a Raspberry Pi, you’re missing out on some fun DIY computing projects. With a price that starts at just $35 for the bare board you can get a

REVIEW – When a gadget geek wants to decorate the walls of their office, they probably don’t think about paintings from famous artists like Monet or Picasso. Geeks tend to go for Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Another alternative is a bit more techie. It’s a deconstructed iPhone from Geekmem. Let’s take a closer look.

REVIEW – My husband and I love to grow our own food. Our gardens have exploded in produce that we can’t consume or give away fast enough. So we have to find a way to preserve it so during the winter months we can have fresh fruit and vegetables. We have always frozen our fruit

REVIEW – What’s the worst part of baking messy things? The cleanup, of course. Silicone baking sheets can minimize the mess, but since they’re flat, the goo can still leak and bake onto your pan. Grand Fusion Housewares, a maker of all kinds of home goods, introduced a twist on the silicone baking sheet. Let’s

REVIEW – Since purchasing my PS5, I’ve been using a wired gaming headset that I reviewed back in 2020 (the EKSA E900 Pro). The comfort and audio quality were solid, but I wanted to get away from being tethered to the controller. Luckily, I was recently asked to review the Cloud Stinger Core wireless headset

REVIEW – If you’re a beer or soda drinker, there are a ton of options for taking your beverages with you and keeping them cool. But for the mixed drink crowd, unless you’re willing to tote all the ingredients with you as well as some sort of mixing container, you’re really out of luck. High

REVIEW – Lately I’ve been making an effort to be a little healthier while around the home. The first step was to add a sit-stand desk to my home office setup, which allows me to stand and stretch during meetings at work. The second step is to add a treadmill, which will allow me to

REVIEW – My first experience with 3D printing was the Kywoo3D Tycoon 3D printer. I have enjoyed using it to make many items for my home and office. Kywoo3D recently asked if I wanted to review their new Tycoon Slim Direct Drive 3D printer, and I could not say no! What is it? The Kywoo3d

REVIEW – I may have too many vacuum cleaners. There’s one for the upstairs, another for downstairs, and a few handheld units around the house. I wondered if the new Dyson Humdinger would be a handheld vacuum to rule them all? What is it? The Dyson Humdinger is billed as the most powerful, lightweight handheld

REVIEW – Fanny packs used to be all the rage back in the 80s and early 90s. I will even admit to having one or two myself. Lately, I have been seeing the fanny pack make somewhat of a comeback. I personally was still reluctant to even consider one until I saw this Roaring Fire

REVIEW – I have been carrying a cheaper Kershaw pocket knife for the past few years, and I’ve been continually surprised by how often I use it to open packages or do one of a million other odd chores around the house. I would never have considered spending upwards of $200 on a pocket knife
