Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I’ve put up some lights each holiday, but usually a string or two, and usually within reach of a normal step ladder. Entering the fall season, I usually see plenty of handyman signs advertising light installations (near bigger HOA neighborhoods), but decidedly less this year for some reason. So a review opportunity for […]

REVIEW – I recently started reviewing a product that triggered multiple malware warnings on my firewall, giving me a very vulnerable feeling. Without a firewall, who knows what may have been compromised? I was enthusiastic about taking a good look at Firewalla’s Gold Pro and AP7 router to see how well it could protect my
REVIEW – I just got a new vehicle so the timing was perfect to test the TRAPO S650 i-Sight Dashcam. The S650 is one of a series of dashcams by this manufacturer. The pricing is not out of line with other two camera dashcam sets with similar features. But did it live up to its

REVIEW – I am always on the search for a Mary Poppins bag. I know they don’t exist but that doesn’t mean I am going to stop looking. I feel that there are very specific things that I want when it comes to a tote. I have a lot of lists. Lists for things that

REVIEW – With a wedding coming up, and the opportunity to review the latest Apple Watch band from Nomad Goods, the Stratos Band, I couldn’t help but marry these two situations (almost as I couldn’t help make that terrible pun)! Seriously, though, there were a couple of interesting design features of the Stratos Band that

REVIEW – Earlier this year, I was able to review an excellent ebike from Jasion, and since then, I’m sold on the advantages of “e-travel”. When the NAVEE XT5 Pro Off-Road E-Scooter came up for review, I wondered how different (or similar) the experience would be riding it. So if you’re interested in electric scooters

TRIP REPORT – Walking through the doors of the Javits Center this year, I pretty much knew what I was in for, yet somehow New York Comic Con still manages to catch me off guard. The crowds were a little bigger, the booths looked sharper, and the production value of everything from the displays to

REVIEW – When someone asks me what brand of Android phone I recommend, I say OnePlus immediately, with no hesitation.

REVIEW – Recently, I have been paying more attention to this crazy weather and scrutinizing the details.

REVIEW – I’ve tried to get into running at least a half dozen times in my life, and I haven’t been able to persist for more than a few weeks at a time except for one setup: a treadmill with a TV/tablet/game console to keep me distracted while working out. I blame my ADHD, but

REVIEW – I have been growing my 3D printing business for the last 2 years, and it continues to consume my home office to the seams. However, I was able to find a bit of space when I got the offer to review the Chitu Systems PlateCycler C1M Auto-printing Assistance Kit. I’d seen social media
REVIEW – I have a laptop that I use for work every day. Saying I don’t like it is putting it mildly. It’s a fine laptop for what it is, but it’s woefully underpowered for what I need to do. So, when Geekom offered up their IT13 2025 edition mini PC. I wanted it in

REVIEW – I have been looking for a classy looking smartwatch for a long time. Something dressier for work that tracks heath data and gives me my messages. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the smartwatch made by my smartphone maker, but it looks a bit masculine and sporty. I also have to charge it
