REVIEW – I can remember the days when I spent a whole lot of money on a 5.1 surround sound system. It was made up of 2 relatively large left and right front speakers, a center channel speaker, 2 rear speakers, and a subwoofer. The connections also meant that there would be a whole bunch […]

REVIEW – The Olight Parrot knife is one sharp cookie. Or cookie cutter. Or whatever you need to cut. Olight has produced flashlights for some time but has added knives to their line of useful hardware. This is solid, low tech effective for doing what it was designed to do without a hitch. Mini-spoiler –

REVIEW – One thing I’m fond of is multi-tools. If I have a tool in my vehicle, backpack, or camping box, I always prefer that it have more than one function if possible. The Adventure Mate 5-in-1 multi-tool is just such a multi-purpose tool, but let’s see how it performs. What is it? The Adventure

REVIEW – I’m constantly measuring things in my workshop. I’ve been using a dime store plastic caliper for decades now, but just to get in the ballpark. Small rulers are getting harder for my eyes to read. Perhaps the Qfun 6 inch digital caliper with LCD display will find a home with me! What is

REVIEW – Wired vs wireless headphones have been an ongoing debate between my friend and I for a long while. I’ve been wireless for quite some time, while he finally succumbed to the dark side recently. The Beyerdynamic MMX 150 gaming headset, while wired, intrigued me enough to check them out, and came very close

REVIEW – Even though I am smiling in this photo I HATE housework. I would rather be outside in 100-degree heat working in the yard rather than dusting, mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms. I am always on the lookout for things that can potentially make housework easier. We recently moved into a new home that

REVIEW – All of our modern devices have microphones. Some are sensitive and well placed, others may pick up ambient noise like your keyboard or the AC fan. Others just may not be up to the task of giving expression to all you’re wanting to get across in your calls, podcasts, video meetings, etc. The

REVIEW – Occasionally, a review offer comes along that simply doesn’t seem real. I’m not referring to a Kickstarter project that will probably never ship, but an incredible product that’s already being produced.

REVIEW – The term ‘Smart Home’ is a bit of a loaded catch-all. Whether it’s an alarm system, connected audio or controllable lights, if the products don’t fit into how you use your home, it may not make life easier which doesn’t sound all that smart. X-Sense sent out their Smart Video Doorbell and their
