REVIEW – I love building models. I’ve been doing so since I was a very young boy. I really enjoy models that aren’t just static, shelf-sitting decorations after completion. Models that move, or provide some sort of mechanical demonstration, are the best. I’ve reviewed a few mechanical model kits for The Gadgeteer (here and here)

REVIEW – I am working on the finishing touches to the gear that will be on my main workspace for daily work. I like having several screens in front of me with a view of my local workspace, my remote desktop, my solar equipment performance, the weather, etc. Since some of those things require an

REVIEW – Recently, I reviewed a hand massager from Comfier (read it here) that gave me some relief from the arthritis in my hands.

REVIEW – I love ice fishing and spending time outdoors in the winter. The key to enjoying being out in the cold is keeping dry and warm and having the right gear.

REVIEW – My daughter is a serious up-and-coming soccer player, and she attends weekly practices and plays many games and tournaments. We mostly capture special moments by taking photos or short videos with our phones, but it would be nice to be able to capture her games as teaching tools for her to view afterward,

REVIEW – Reverse engineering things is difficult. I know because I’ve tried it with very simple objects, and it was still very difficult. It’s so much easier when you have a 3D scanner. So, when the Creality Sermoon S1 3D Scanner came up for review, I was eager to try it. It’s the first 3D
REVIEW – I don’t know how the heck it happened, but I turned 61 years old this past June. What the actual heck?! I don’t feel that old. Age is just a number, right? Ha! But sometimes I catch my reflection in the mirror and I see wrinkles and lines and wish I didn’t because

REVIEW – About a year ago, I reviewed a portable mini blower/vac and really loved it. But as things generally happen around my house, things get borrowed, not put back, left where electronics should not be left, and are found quite some time later to discover they no longer work. I’m not pointing fingers, but

REVIEW – After moving to the desert, I have been doing a lot of traveling to visit friends and family. I’m fortunate enough to have a remote job, where all I need is an internet connection to be able to do my work. That sounds like unlimited freedom…until I’m in a spot with weak coverage

REVIEW – Now that I am 100% moved into my new home office/studio, I need to make sure that all of my workflow processes are streamlined and that the large amount of video content that I am now generating is triaged in specific places relevant to their use case. I need multiple NAS devices, each

REVIEW – CNC machines used to be the kind of tool you’d only find in professional shops, but in recent years they’ve made their way into the hobbyist space with more compact and accessible designs.

REVIEW – I love the beginning of school. I think buying paper, pencils, pens, and all the note taking supplies is almost as fun as Christmas.

REVIEW – Ever since we moved into our new home in 2021, we have been searching for art to hang above the fireplace. The wall above our fireplace is entirely tiled, and I am afraid to try drilling into it to place a hanger. That means I was looking for lighter artwork that could be

REVIEW – I live in a suburban neighborhood where most houses have single-car garages. On the rare occasions when the doors are open, and I can see inside, it’s usually surprising (and sometimes comically entertaining) why my neighbors aren’t able to keep their cars inside. FLEXIMOUNTS Super-strong, high-capacity shelves definitely help tame that “Clutter Beast”

REVIEW – Recently, I have been having more back pain than usual. It might be the start of school stress, or carrying around 20 pound twins. Whatever the cause, I don’t have the luxury of sitting down all day to keep the pain away. Bob and Brad ThermoRed heat and massage belt is battery powered,
