REVIEW – I’ve been working on doing more videos to go along with my photography, but the one thing I’ve been lacking has been a decent wireless microphone system. The SYNCO G2 A2 wireless microphone system review offer came along, so I figured I give it a good test. What is it? The SYNCO G2 […]

REVIEW – I use a Q-tip every day to clean my ears after I get out of the shower. It’s always a quick swipe and into the trash it goes. Have you ever wondered how many Q-tips wind up in the garbage each year? I didn’t either until I was asked by LastObject if I

REVIEW: The best thing I can tell you about the Kyvol AF600 air fryer is this – when Kyvol accidentally sent me two of them, my daughter who helped me test it was almost ticked that I was ‘Mr. honest’ and sent one back. She recovered and may be getting a Kyvol. Her help was

REVIEW – When assembling a kit for home defense, one of the most important considerations to make after deciding on a platform, is lighting.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Maybe you watched the Queen’s Gambit, maybe you’ve always been into it, or maybe your kid dragged you into it like me. Chess is an awesome game that seems to increasingly sink it’s teeth into you the more you play. If you haven’t used a clock when playing, I think you’ll be

REVIEW – Ten years ago (has it been 10 years?), I reviewed Bowers & Wilkins first earphones—the C5. They sounded good but were not comfortable for my ears.  I couldn’t really enjoy them for more than an hour. Fast forward to now—B&W has come out with their first wireless earphones, the PI5 and PI7 (reviewed

REVIEW – My eternal hunt for a perfect minimalistic iPhone case brought me back to one of my favorite Apple accessory makers, Twelve South. Today, we’re looking at their SurfacePad for iPhone 12.

REVIEW – Good posture is very important when you’re working long hours at a computer. Raising your computer monitor to the right height can make a big difference in neck and back pain that can come up when you’re not seated properly. Of course, you could use a stack of phone books or boxes but

REVIEW – One day a few years ago my campus went into lockdown for seven hours. Nothing happened other than a bit of panic, the local police getting some practice and some very ruined trashcans, but there was a lot of turn taking at the power outlets in the room. After that experience, I try

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – The Pakt Sling Bag simply holds a lot of stuff. It weighs almost nothing so if you load it up and it’s heavy – it’s your stuff! Is this sling bag different from the others and is it a worthy purchase? If you’re not a sling-bag-person, could the Pakt Sling Bag change

REVIEW – In the last year I’ve been transitioning to battery-powered tools for working in my yard. After I reviewed WORX’s cordless fan, I purchased their weed eater. SnapFresh then sent me their leaf blower and their hedge trimmer, both of which I liked. The most recent lawn tool that I’ve been testing is a

REVIEW – Since long-distance travel has been off the table for a while now, I’ve been making plans for shorter, closer-to-home trips. Inevitably, those trips involve long drives and off-the-grid locations. My usual EDC battery packs work fine to keep my power-hungry travel devices fed, but I have to pack three or four if the

REVIEW – I’m convinced that every struggling actor who isn’t waiting tables in Los Angeles is a headshot photographer, and yet, like a five-year-old, trying to pull it together for a real headshot is way too much work for me. At the same time, I also feel like you are your own best PR person,

REVIEW – Technology has come a long way in just the past five years. When they first came out, 3D printers were well beyond the price range of most labs not to mention an ordinary citizen. Now anyone with a few hundred dollars to spare can purchase one. The question is always which one to
