levels cgm 100

REVIEW – I’m a pre-diabetic and you might be one too and not even know it. Diabetes is a disease where a high level of sugar/glucose is circulating through your bloodstream. The problem is that you may not notice any major symptoms until damage to your heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc has already started happening.

Fluidstance Lift review – A laptop stand that’s also a whiteboard

FSLS 01

REVIEW – If you thought Fluidstance didn’t have further tricks up their sleeves for ways to optimize your workspace, think again. This time they’ve introduced Lift, a powder-coated steel laptop stand that integrates a whiteboard. I previously reviewed and really liked Slope (their angled whiteboard that sits in front of a monitor) and was excited

AirCut DIY Portable Haircutting System review – I’m never going to a salon again

aircut 2

REVIEW – In addition to working from home, COVID has caused many of us to take matters into our own hands (literally) when it comes to getting our hair cut. I don’t enjoy getting my hair cut because I’m cheap and don’t like paying $20 + tip more for a haircut that takes less than 15

Nomad Rugged Case with Magsafe for iPhone 12 & 12 Pro review

NRGM 01

REVIEW – When Apple announced MagSafe for the iPhone 12 series they mentioned that more 3rd party cases would be following in the coming months. They’ve finally started to trickle out and I couldn’t help but wonder how some of these might compare to Apple’s own cases. Nomad Goods has updated their Rugged Case and

imagiLabs imagiCharm review – A programmable charm for kids

imagiLabs imagiCharm 26

REVIEW –  Computer programming is often hard for young students to appreciate with abstract assignments. It is also historically less compelling for girls because of stereotypes and influence from peers. The imagiLabs imagiCharm is a fashion accessory that makes Python programming tangible and sharable.  I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

Sleepgram Bamboo Sheet Set and Silk Pillowcase review

sleepgram bamboo 1

REVIEW – Over the years, my wife and I have tried a variety of different materials for sheets and pillowcases, including cotton, flannel, satin, silk, and microfiber.  All have their place.  Some are warmer, and some are cooler.  Some are rougher, and others are smoother.  For the past three weeks my wife and I have

Audioengine HD4 Home Music System speakers review – just right in both size and sound

Audioengine HD4 19

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been 4 years?), I reviewed the Audioengine HD3 speakers. In that review, I said that the HD3 speakers were better than Audioengine’s much more expensive HD6 speakers when placed on a computer desk. I noted that the Audioengie HD6 speakers were overkill for what is termed “near-field listening”.

Aracky’s SuperDanny Spin Tower solves both of these problems worth a neat, elegant solution. Let’s dive in! What is it? Vertical power
