REVIEW – The Aurora Talentum Finesse is the second fountain pen I have ever used. I originally reviewed the Namiki Falcon fountain pen way back in 2013 and to be honest, have only used it occasionally to handwrite a letter or note on special occasions.

REVIEW – I’ve owned at least a dozen different wireless charging stands/pads over the years ,and at first glance the Mophie 15W wireless charging stand looked like yet another variant of the many I’ve tried albeit with a nice set of features.

REVIEW – If you’re like me and have grown a bit tired of traditional styles of belts, Groove Belt might be for you.

REVIEW – Believe it or not, it has been years since I started my search for a nice writing ballpoint pen. I have purchased several pens from online stores, in the under $30 price range, but none of them feel just write or should I say make me feel like that is the pen that

REVIEW – Back in August I reviewed the Level Bolt Invisible Smart Lock and loved it so much I purchased several more to install throughout our home. Its ability to transform any deadbolt into a stealthy smart lock is an impressive bit of engineering. Well, the folks @Level have recently introduced the Touch, the ‘smallest smart
