REVIEW – I’ve been eyeing the new Ultimate Ears (UE) Wonderboom 2 for a little while now. I’ve tried the UE Megaboom 3 and really enjoy using it, but I’ve been wanting something smaller and a little more portable. I’ve tried the smaller UE Boom 2 but was not particularly enamored with it. Could the […]

REVIEW – I thought I used my iPad Pro a lot. Then this new system from Pitaka arrived and I quickly realized how important the positioning and accessibility of the iPad comes into play at your desk. It’s called Pita!Flow and is made up of a few of Pitaka’s different MagEZ accessories for iPad. And
REVIEW – I’ll be honest up front here. I’d been eyeing Lander’s packs since I missed being a backer on their successfully funded Kickstarter campaign back in 2018. Their packs just had a great look and appeared to be loaded with solid functionality. I couldn’t accept Julie’s offer to review a Lander pack fast enough.

REVIEW – We are all insanely attached and dependent on our devices, even more so if you are of the Gadgeteer ilk. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Portable Power Station which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter serves to keep your home, cabin, or camp purring along when power poops out, keeping your gaggle of gadgets

REVIEW – Today’s smartphones can be incredibly slippery if you don’t use a case and even with a case, they can be awkward to hold and use without two hands. That’s why grips like the PopSocket have become so popular. Now MOFT has entered that same space with their new MOFT x Popl Tap-To-Connect Stand

This timepiece measures 2 inches side to side, 2.25 inches vertically and is .75 inch thick! Go measure.You don’t have a bigger watch. Are the Optimus 2 features and functions ready

REVIEW – I’ve been using tablets for a decade now, starting with the Motorola Xoom in 2011 (oof!), and continuing with a bevy of iPad and Android tablets through the years. It’s crazy to me that 10 years later, the dynamic still hasn’t changed much: for the best experience you should go with an iPad,

REVIEW – Our power doesn’t go out very often here, but when it does, it’s very inconvenient because my wife and I both work from home. When the OKMO 1000W Portable Power Station review offer came along, I jumped at the chance to have a little backup power. What is it? The OKMO 1000W Portable

REVIEW: What does the ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 do that other instant-read thermometers don’t do? There is something, and it’s pretty cool. Righties and lefties (hands, and politics) should appreciate the feature. But does it do its main thing well? What is it The ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 is a battery powered, instant-read, probe type cooking thermometer.

REVIEW – Yeah, I’m trying to outrun that storm brewing behind me while testing out my new earbuds (the things I do for you guys…). I’ve got the Tronsmart Apollo Air+ Earbuds shoved in my listening holes. Maybe that noise cancelling feature will drown out the pending thunder. To the review! What is it? The

REVIEW – I’m a software guy, working in the areas of DevOps, cloud engineering, and data modeling. What does that really mean? Just this: I spend a lot of time sitting, working on my computer at my desk, and I don’t spend nearly enough time during the day standing, walking, or exercising. As I’m a

REVIEW – I was not a tote guy, but I am a changed man. Meet the Waterfield Designs Packable Tote Bag, my new best friend and travel buddy. It’s just so freaking useful. To the review! What is it? It’s a lightweight packable tote bag. Hardware specs 14.5″ by 14.5″ by 5.5″ 13″ handle drop

REVIEW – I am one of the many so-called knowledge workers who spend the vast majority of their days engaged in what the military used to call “polishing a chair with my ass.” This often leaves me with sore, slightly swollen calves. As a partial solution to this, I have been wearing various types of

REVIEW – You might think that when choosing totally wireless earphones, the sound quality would be the deciding factor. Maybe not. There’s also comfort, call quality, ease of use, brand cachet, and of course—price to consider. Generally, you can have any five of the six listed. For instance, if you opt for sound, comfort, call

REVIEW – Did you know we spend about one-third of our life either sleeping or attempting to do so? Obviously, good sleep is important, so I recently traded in my boring old mattress for one of those fancy memory foam mattresses. The sleep experience has been night and day different. But, my sheets and pillows still

REVIEW – For the past couple of months I have been rehabbing a bathroom in my basement that the previous homeowner had obviously neglected for many years. It needed a lot of work and as a DIYer, I was up to the task. Now I am at the stage where I am working on the

REVIEW – As I prepare to enter my middle-age years, I have done a lot of reflecting lately. One of the trends I have noticed the older I get is to gravitate towards paying more for quality rather than always buying the cheapest functional version of something I need. Case-in-point: I probably used and wore

REVIEW – Earlier this year, I bought a new camera for my photography hobby that uses a CFexpress card as its primary storage. I’ve been using the Type-C cable from the camera to the computer while I waited for a CFexpress card reader to come along for review. The Alxum CFexpress card reader review offer
