REVIEW – A couple of months ago, I reviewed the Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 and now I’m back with another musical instrument from Artiphon. I enjoyed testing the INSTRUMENT 1 but found that it was more than I needed in a music-making device. Lucky for me, Artiphon makes another device that is much smaller and has […]

REVIEW – When we were kids, my sister and I enjoyed watching birds from our bedroom windows. We each kept notebooks where we recorded the birds that we would see. Dorky? Yeah, but we loved it and it was before I even knew that bird watching was a thing. When I was offered the Netvue

REVIEW – Here we go again with another Litheli product test and review. This time around, I am checking out the LitheLi 40V Cordless Brushless Snowblower. Last winter I shoveled through at least 3 sizeable snowstorms, and I vowed that I would not do the same this year. In early October of this year, Litheli

REVIEW – The Denqir Mini Chainsaw is made for limb pruning and small tree cutting when loppers aren’t powerful enough for the task. But it can cut wood up to about 3”-5” diameter, depending on which blade is attached. With two rechargeable batteries included in the kit you could cut a lot of wood before
Denqir Mini Chainsaw review – a chainsaw so small it could be part of your EDC! Read More
REVIEW – Thus far I have been very successful at remodeling my basement and one specific reason is that I am a guy who believes in having just about every relevant tool and a few that may not be relevant but can be invaluable when trying to do something slightly “irregular” or outside of the
BIBURY Multi-tool Axe review – I bet your multi-tool can’t chop and hammer like this one! Read More
REVIEW – Nomad has been making their Base Station product for a few years now. They’ve been able to stay true to a design theme while varying materials, footprint and Apple Watch compatibility. Magnetic alignment is the addition this time around and while that may seem minor or trivial, it makes a pretty big difference
REVIEW – Gaze upon the pretty lights! The Soul Nation S-Storm Max is a portable Bluetooth speaker that promises big sound, resistance to the elements, and a variety of light displays to spice up your party. Let’s fire up the party and see how it does. To the review! What is it? The Soul Nation

REVIEW – I love the look of leather jackets. However, where I live in south Texas we have a winter that cannot make up its mind. One day we are in the ’80s, then the next day we have highs in the 40s. The cold snaps often don’t last more than a couple of days

REVIEW – Even though I am a software programmer, I prefer to keep my life organized both digitally and on paper. However, I am very particular with how things are laid out and categorized so finding the right planner is hard for me. Golden Coil’s custom planner is perfect for me as it is fully

REVIEW – If you’ve ever thought about buying a drone, a lot of questions may have crossed your mind. How much should I spend? What if it crashes? Do I need GPS? Do I need a license? Is it hard to master? Sooo many questions. Until now, I was that person. I had never

REVIEW – Does the Amazfit GTS 3 smart / fitness watch compete with big name brands? Amazfit has been around for a while and has lots of models from which to choose. I count 30 smart / fitness devices they’ve made or still make. The current state of the GTS 3 watch and its app

REVIEW – When it comes to my kicks, I’m super picky. My shoes have to feel great on my feet and look great too. Kiziks shoes do both and then there’s the fact that you can put them on and take them off completely hands-free. Spoiler alert, these shoes are awesome. But let’s do a

REVIEW – Over the years, I’ve been putting off trying many little things in life, and as I get older decided to make at least some of that bucket list a reality. From hot yoga to seeing more of the world, the clock is ticking and it’s time to start making things happen. So when

REVIEW – The HAOYISHU Video Conference Laptop Light is a light to give your WFH ZoomMeetSkypeWebExGoToMeeting viewers a chance to see your face clearly during videoconferences. How often do you see videoconference participants in dimly lit rooms, or with a light beside or behind them, or sitting in front of bright windows? If they only

REVIEW – As a techie nerd, it was a foregone conclusion that once I purchased a house it would be a technical maze of gadgets that would attempt to or would automate as many tasks and conveniences as possible. One such category is security cameras and I seem to be so obsessed with them that

REVIEW – The WUBEN H5 Multifunctional Clip Flashlight is a versatile flashlight that comes with a unique, well-made clip device you’ve never seen before. The flashlight can be removed from the clip for hand-held use but if kept in its clip holder it can be a head light on the included strap, or attached to

REVIEW – I like to listen to music and podcasts but I don’t like wires getting in the way. The convenience of Bluetooth audio has made this so much better in the last ten to fifteen years. Bluetooth audio quality has never been known to be great but the convenience made it worth the tradeoff
REVIEW – If you’ve been looking for a non-permanent way to mount your iPhone on your MacBook then STM Goods may have exactly what you’re looking for.

REVIEW – Blincc is based in Singapore and focuses on cycling safety. They originally launched on Kickstarter and currently have two products in their line; the Blincclip and the Blincc Hex. Both are hyper functional reflectors, but have different applications. What is it? Both of Blincc’s products are reflectors for bicycles. Blincclip is designed to
REVIEW – With so many people working from home, the struggle to find that perfect home office is real. My own family has created (and also abandoned!) office/school set-ups all over our home during the course of the pandemic. With at-home work (and school) an inevitable part of our foreseeable future, folks are looking for
