REVIEW – It is just about the beginning of summer in NYC, and it is time for me to set up the new bar in my new home with all of the conveniences I can afford. I like the bells and whistles even if they are more about the look and style and less about […]

REVIEW – You don’t have to be on a diet or an athlete to benefit from dietary science. The rule of thumb when it comes to food is really just to know what you’re eating. Mana has created complete meal solutions that come in either a powder that needs to be mixed or a ready-to-drink
REVIEW – When the Britisher Lord Acton famously said in the 1800s, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” he obviously wasn’t referring to portable power stations—electricity wasn’t even in homes yet. However, today the opposite is true. Getting absolute power from portable power sources like the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station corrupts nothing.

REVIEW – I used to daydream about creating the perfect gear bag. In those dreams, I wanted a bag that could transform from small to big depending on what I needed to carry with me. Big for travel, slim for day-to-day work commutes. I approached a couple of popular bag makers to see if they

REVIEW – The original Rubik’s Cube was launched in 1980. I was 9 and it was the toy to have. I got pretty good at solving one side with all of the top layer in order but that was the extent of it. I always wanted to be able to solve one, but never took

REVIEW – I have always liked to see the construction guys with their tape wheels measuring out distances for various forms that they build. They would wheel along from one point to another making notations in a notebook at every stopping point. I used to think how cool it would be if there was a

REVIEW – Many of us have had those moments where we’re trying to decide if we can take a trip without the laptop. iPad has made that possible for a while, but depending on what you need to get done, a keyboard is almost a requirement. When Apple enabled trackpad support it got even closer

REVIEW – Beyond temperature, the air in my home just sort of…exists. Dander and dust are a daily reality of owning a furry companion; with allergy season upon us, and having been in our “bubbles” for some time, it’s more important than ever to address the microscopic elephants in the room. Could the solution be
REVIEW – I’m a bit of a weather nerd. I have at least 5 weather apps on my iPhone, I created an automatic updating weather radar widget on my macOS desktop using Geektool, and I have a WeatherFlow Tempest home weather station collecting data outside. If you’re not quite as nerdy as me but would

REVIEW – I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect earbuds. My oddball ears are difficult to fit and generally, I find earbuds uncomfortable. Still, unless you want cans on your ears and/or wires connecting buds on the two sides of your head to each other, earbuds are the choice. The Enacfire A9 ANC

REVIEW – One of the best things about newer cars is how quick and easy it is to pair your phone with your car audio. But what about vehicles that were made before Bluetooth was a thing?

REVIEW – It had been years since I wore a watch on my wrist but halfway into last year, I had some radical gadget transitions. I switched from my beloved Huawei P30 Pro Android smartphone to an iPhone 11 Pro Max and then after reviewing a fitness system that comes with an Apple Watch, I

REVIEW – Be honest. How many times have you been in a public restroom and heard someone a few stalls over talking, and you knew they were on the phone? Or you’re hearing TikToks playing? Public restrooms are germy nightmares, and don’t tell me about washing your hands – you need to disinfect your phone

REVIEW – Over the last few months, SnapFresh has released several new additions to their line of cordless tools. I’ve already reviewed their leaf blower, drill, and hex wrench–and for the most part, I’ve liked them–so I’m going to take a look at one more: The SnapFresh Cordless Hedge Trimmer. What is it? This is
