REVIEW – There are more wireless earbuds than you can shake a stick at these days, so I wasn’t expecting much from the Creative Outlier Air V2 In-ear headphones when they sent me a pair to review. Who would have thought that they’d be the best-sounding wireless earbuds I’ve tried yet? In this review I’ll

REVIEW – Like it or not, many of us are working from home these days with companies big and small contemplating making that a permanent change for a bunch of reasons.

REVIEW – Are you one of those people that always have your hands occupied? Rubbing a stone, spinning a pencil, fiddling with a paperclip – it is an issue that affects more people than some might realize.

REVIEW – Until laptops start adding ports back (and maybe still even when they do) it’s necessary, or just super helpful, to be able to connect all your accessories to a dock. That way you’re only plugging in a couple cables or in the case of Kensington’s new Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4k Dock, just one.

REVIEW – I truly miss having vital ports on my laptop, so I make do with USB-C hubs. Alxum has a few of these hubs, one of which is the 8-in-1 USB-C hub which I was able to review. It has eight ports: an Ethernet port, a VGA port, a USB-C data/100 W Power Delivery

REVIEW – It’s that time of year again. It’s cold at night, and the central heat is running more often than not. This means the air in our house is very dried out, and my skin tends to get irritated. One solution to this problem is to run a humidifier in the house, which I

REVIEW – Gaming has changed a lot since I picked up my first joystick back in the late 1970s. One change is all the different gaming peripherals that are available today. Any gamer knows that a good gaming session can last hours, and comfort is paramount. So it stands to reason that having a good

REVIEW – My friends will attest that I have a problem with flashlights, namely that I’ve never met a flashlight that I didn’t like (well at least until I’ve tried it out). When the opportunity to review the Imalent RT90 4800 lumen flashlight came up, I jumped on the opportunity. Let’s see if the RT90

REVIEW – Interest in the contents of the air we breathe has taken a dramatic uptick recently for some reason (cough…COVID…cough), but we residents of Salt Lake City and nearby suburbs are very familiar with dangerous air. We often set the record for the most harmful particulate pollution in the United States in the winter,

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’m not into styling my hair. For me, I comb it and hope it’s not messed up. This is even more true during the pandemic since I’m not going into an office with other people. There are times I need to dry my hair, and the idea of a hair dryer without

REVIEW – As an Eagle Scout and father to a scout, to me the idea of a firestarter that works by just pulling a string felt slightly insulting a first. Fire making is an essential scout skill, after all! Then I looked back at all the times I’ve been in difficult or near-miserable situations where

REVIEW – The Mkeke 20W USB C Charger is manufactured by Shenzhen Aoda Power Technology Co. Ltd. This economy-priced charger might stack up nicely to more expensive competitors. Since phone manufacturers seem to be moving toward shipping with no charger, knowing where to get an effective quick charger may be useful. Let’s see how it
