REVIEW – I can recall the time when I tried my first pair of Bluetooth earbuds, I was so impressed with them that I never wanted to go back to wired earbuds again. I have since owned several wireless Bluetooth earbuds and headphones and I couldn’t be happier when I cut the cord. I loved not

REVIEW – Everyone has their own EDC kit needs, and while it’s nearly unanimously agreed that every EDC kit needs a knife (or at least something with a blade), a large knife isn’t always necessary or feasible for everyone’s daily needs. For those folks, the WESN Microblade 2.0 might fit the bill. This tiny-but-mighty folding

REVIEW – I was offered the opportunity to review a Puppy Robotics Puppy Cube ultra short-throw projector back in the spring of 2020, but nature had other ideas and shut down the logistics train necessary for building, supplying, and supporting the Puppy Cube. Now that I’ve got a review unit in hand, let’s see if

REVIEW – It seems the most neglected category of computer these days is the desktop. In a mad rush to put everyone into a laptop or tablet, manufacturers have left the desktop market to those who want to build their own custom rig or to bland offerings that do little to distinguish themselves from the

REVIEW – It’s always fun to discover that a product you’re reviewing works as well – or even better – at something that is not its intended use. Let me explain: Last year, Demant A/S, a large Danish hearing company, ended a business relationship with the even larger German Sennheiser Communications company—maker of countless audio

REVIEW – Do you have enough power strips? I’m almost always going to say no. There are just so many things to connect, and charge, and extend for the right placement. Over here in the Bay Area we’ve been dealing with PG&E’s rolling, planned power outages due to the overwhelming wildfires this year. The Wide-Spaced

REVIEW – I’ve owned a robot vacuum for a while now, and while it worked decently in my old place, I never really bothered with it here due to the mix of hardwood and carpet. I didn’t really mind using a big vacuum, but I was definitely intrigued when I saw the Ecovacs Deebot OZMO

REVIEW – Getting solid wifi speeds throughout my split-level house has been an ongoing struggle for years. I’ve tried multiple mesh routers (which all had ongoing connectivity issues) and powerline bridges (which also had issues due to our old wiring), before settling on a high-powered single router that I currently use. It’s stable, but speeds

REVIEW – My kids are very fascinated with robots and scooters and planes, etc. They both have a couple of small dromes, but they are still getting used to flying them. They also love kites and just about anything colorful that flies. Let’s see if they like this flying Zing Go-Go Bird. What is it?
