REVIEW – Who doesn’t like to sit around a cozy fire pit on a chilly evening outside? How about a fire pit that you can pack up and take with you? How about one that will also let you cook on it and is designed to radiate heat out to the sides and create less […]

REVIEW – I really like portable Bluetooth speakers, and those of you who follow my reviews would know that over the years I have reviewed several of various sizes, power, and features. However, it has been a while since I reviewed one. Now I get to play around with the Tronsmart Force 2 Portable Wireless

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Have you ever wanted a Bluetooth mouse small enough that it can fit into the coin pocket in your jeans? The ProLab Mouse which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter is definitely tiny… but it’s more than just a tiny wireless mouse. It’s also a controller for your phone, iPad, and laptop.

REVIEW – Lately, I have been trying to get my hands on as many ~ 15″ monitors to test and review. I recently moved into a new home studio space, and I have a plan to utilize as many “good” small portable monitors as I can to meet most of my workflow needs. This time

REVIEW – A few months ago, I asked to have an A1C test to check the status of my diabetes. I was diagnosed back in 2004 with diabetes and an A1C of 6.7 (full-blown diabetes is anything greater than 6.5). I have been fortunate enough to control my diabetes with diet and exercise and have
REVIEW – Ah food! I love eating food! I hate making food! Breakfast is usually the worst meal of the day for me when I was commuting. I was either eating some kind of protein bar or going through a drive-thru of a restaurant which is super bad for me. Now that I am working

REVIEW – I live in a neighborhood that’s out in a more rural part of the county. There are not many streetlights here, and it’s rather dark at night. I’ve added a pair of motion-sensing lights for the driveway and a solar-powered, motion-sensing floodlight for the back porch, but there’s still a lot of my

REVIEW – Over the past few years, I have become more open-minded regarding Android phones. Initially, I was an Android-only user for all of my cell phones but the OS always developed issues, and then the devices would fail. After resisting IOS and anything Apple for years except for the iPod music players I broke

REVIEW – By now, everyone who reads my reviews knows that I am a big fan of the CIGA watch design. As a collector of watches and especially mechanical automatic watches, I am always intrigued by a new CIGA design. I am excited to now have another opportunity to review CIGA’s latest design which is

REVIEW – Pandemic cooking is a thing. Other than bread baking, I think the most articles I have seen have mentioned air fryers. I tried one in the before times but returned it due to its size and the noise. But recently, an opportunity was presented to the Gadgeteer Squad to test the Nuwave Brio

REVIEW – Each day I walk around with 3 smartphones, with each having a specific use/purpose. My Android phone is heavily used and I often find myself away from home and in need of a charge. There are numerous portable batteries available for such a purpose, so I often look for something that is multi-purpose

REVIEW – When we remodeled our kitchen, one of the main things we told our contractor was that we wanted a LOT of light. In fact, with each room that we’ve remodeled, we always put light fixtures with high lumen output. Why? Because light makes almost everything easier. Food prep, cleaning, reading, etc. Long story

REVIEW – Working remotely has required many people to duplicate office computer layouts at their home. The mouse and keyboard are important parts of any setup. The Cherry DW 9000 slim is a wireless mouse and keyboard combo set with some great features. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – I’ve been a fan of the phone/wallet combination ever since the iPhone 4 and my thick, leather book-type case. Now, with MOFT’s Snap-on Wallet and the iPhone 12’s built-in magnet technology, wallet cases can now attached directly to the phone itself. What is it? The MOFT Snap-on Wallet is a thin, MagSafe-compatible card

REVIEW – During the last year, I’ve gotten into watching movies in the back yard using a projector. The one thing I never settled on was buying a good projector screen. When the Bomaker 100 inch Motorized Projector Screen review offer came along, I jumped at the chance to improve my movie experience. What is

REVIEW – I am a DIYer, and I believe that there is a tool for every job. Anyone who sees my collection of tools will verify my ideology. Sometimes there are tasks that require a unique tool that is not a part of the usual tools available in the hardware store. Sometimes there is a

REVIEW – The pandemic has caused larger meetings to occur as smaller videoconferencing groups spread out across boardroom tables. While wall-mounted cameras and mics may seem inadequate for the farthest participants, the Coolpo AI Huddle PANA conference system captures 360° of the meeting. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Keeping your flash drive data secure sounds simple right? But there’s a lot more to making sure someone can’t see or steal information that you put on a portable drive than just putting the drive in your pocket or your bag and hoping for the best. If you’re serious about data security, one

REVIEW – At the risk of sounding a little eccentric, I will admit that can’t get enough phone and tablet stands in my life. They are scattered throughout the house because you never know when a Netflix binge will hit you! I even used one as a makeshift tripod when I took photos for this

REVIEW – I’m not sure if you can find a more subjective beverage than coffee. All the different brands and blends, not to mention milks, alternative milks, creams, sugars and other add-ins. And none of that even accounts for different brewing processes. You’ve likely heard the term “cold brew” and it’s a bit of a
