TREBLAB Z7 1

REVIEW:  The Treblab Z7 Pro Hybrid Active Noise Canceling Headphones are among the most comfortable over-ear headphones I’ve used. But comfort is little consolation if the sound is only so-so, right? Don’t tune out yet! I used the Treblab Z7 Pro headphones for phone calls plus a range of music listening and as a tease

qualeben 16

REVIEW – Even though it is wintertime, we are still getting days up into the upper 80s here in south Texas.  I have always been a fan of the nugget ice you can sometimes find in various restaurants.  It is super crunchy and easy to chew.  It also tends to make a nice almost slushy

Speedefy kx450 2

R13R 01

REVIEW – There are lots of so-called “Rugged” cases out there available for a variety of phones. Rokform has been making them for a long time and simply put, they make them differently. I got the chance to put the aptly named Rugged Case for iPhone 13 Pro into regular rotation and find out what

adonit dash4 12

REVIEW – I bought an 11 inch iPad Pro with the intent of switching all my favorite analog activities to digital. I wanted to journal on the iPad and draw on the iPad. To do this, I needed a stylus, and I splurged on an Apple Pencil. At $129, this wasn’t an easy purchase because

venusop led 9

REVIEW – We’ve lived in our current home for over 20yrs and in that time, we’ve never put up Christmas lights. Why? Probably the main reason is that I don’t have outdoor power receptacles and have not wanted to run extension cords into the garage. Is there a solution? You bet there is. It’s Venusop

Ryobi 40 Volt Cordless Jet Fan Leaf Blower review – Your yard debris can be Gone With The Wind 

RYOBI 8

REVIEW: The Ryobi RY40407VNM 40 Volt Cordless Jet Fan Leaf Blower is a ‘uni-tasker’. It simply blows stuff from where it is, to where you want it to be. This is the first Ryobi tool I’ve handled and it has me thinking about other 40 volt Ryobi tools since they all use the same battery.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – How many paper towels do you throw away in a day, week, month, year? I know we use a combination of paper towels that come on a roll and paper napkins at my house. Convenient? Yes. Wasteful? Definitely. Is there a better alternative to paper towels? That’s where the Yowel comes in.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – You’re a geek and one of your buttons just popped off. What do you do? Go find a needle and thread and sew it back on, or replace it with a titanium button that has a built-in NFC tag? If you’re reading this, I think we already know the answer to that
