REVIEW – I’ve owned a few pairs of high-quality sunglasses, but over the years, they’ve either gotten scratched or lost. When the Fauna Audio Glasses review offer came along, I figured that it would be an excellent time to upgrade. What is it? The Fauna Spiro Transparent Brown Audio Glasses are a revolutionary pair of […]

REVIEW – The Gosun SolarLamp 50 would be an easy item to pack with camping gear or serve as a utility light in a pantry or utility room. I have some handheld flashlights that are obnoxiously bright indoors. They have their purpose but if you also need useful, non-blinding light in some settings the Uno

REVIEW – Dog lovers have long struggled with ways to let their dogs in and out of the house outside of the requisite walks. There are the in-door flaps and other dog doors, but what if you have a sliding glass door? There’s a couple of “inserts” for sliders, but they’ve got their own issues.

REVIEW – I’ve wanted noise-canceling headphones for a while now but I guess for me they are one of those things that you want, but you tell yourself you don’t really need. Then you get them and you realize you do need them … a lot! I think everyone living in quarantine needs them! It’s

REVIEW – I strongly dislike exercise (see photo above). However, I do like my indoor rower (or “erg” for you crew fans) which is something I fell in love with in college. My particular machine has a heart rate monitor receiver, but that usually means supplying your own chest strap, which always felt slightly burdensome

REVIEW – Cell phones have revolutionized photography. You used to have to schlep heave photo gear to be able to capture great photos.

REVIEW – In my personal and professional capacities, I end up scanning a fair amount of stuff. It’s always easier to find storage space for 500 pages in digital PDF form than to get another filing cabinet. I have been using a common brand of an all-in-one printer/scanner for the big stuff, but I also

REVIEW – I’ve been enjoying my quest for great-tasting, healthier alternatives to the sugar and carb ladened foods I used to eat. As a pre-diabetic, I’ve long known that carbs and sugar aren’t my friends, but working from home due to COVID enabled me to take my eating habits in a bad direction ultimately causing

REVIEW – The Epomaker AKKO 3068 Silent Bluetooth 5.0 keyboard is a fusion of the wireless Bluetooth combined with a nostalgic design. On paper, this ticks all the boxes for what I want in a mechanical keyboard these days – design (highly subjective to your tastes though, if you love RGB gaming flashiness you’ll want

REVIEW – It seems like many modern laptops are going all-in on USB-C, leaving a multitude of older USB devices, adapters and dongles with nowhere to plug.

REVIEW – Massage guns are not just for professional athletes anymore. More and more people are using them as part of their recovery routine. I am a 53 male and workout at the gym 4 to 5 days a week. And to my dismay, my body just does not recover like it used to. I

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

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
