logitech flip folio 17

REVIEW – Adding a keyboard to my iPad has made long form text entry so much easier and faster.

Enbrighten VIBE WiFi Modern Color-Changing LED Cafe Lights review

Embrighten 9

REVIEW – It might be summer, but to me, that’s just another word for Christmas prep time.  Lately, I’ve been seeing all these heavy-duty programmable string lights that can be left up year-round.
