REVIEW – Sleep is one of the most important things we all do every day. Sleep is also one of the things many of us struggle with every day. For many of us, having some sort of masking sound that covers all those other sounds helps promote better sleep. Mintal is offering its vision for […]

REVIEW – Since the beginning of Covid, I have been working from my home office, and I have been able to test a few conferencing devices that vary from reasonably affordable to very expensive. Most have been the latter. I am now testing the AverMedia AS311 AI Speakerphone. What is it? The AverMedia AS311 AI

REVIEW – As I’ve mentioned before, I live in a neighborhood more rural than urban, where there aren’t many streetlights. I want a flashlight that’s powerful enough to light up any part of my yard, should something unknown happen. I had hoped that the UT90 Predator from IMALENT would be that light, but it died

REVIEW – Lighting can really set off a house. Nice exterior lighting washing up or down a wall or highlighting a landscaping feature adds that wow factor. One of the problems is that if you want to control multiple lights as a group, they typically have to be connected together. This can create a wiring

REVIEW – Question: when is a tablet not a tablet? When it becomes a workstation. That’s the goal of the Satechi Aluminum Stand Hub for iPad Pro (more on the post “for” in a moment). The first question inevitably leads to the next questions – why would you want to do that and is it

REVIEW – I’ve been a multi-monitor fanatic since somewhere around 1998. Whether it’s browsing the web, researching, or writing code, nothing beats screen real estate.

REVIEW – We all need a little light in our lives. For your consideration, here are two little lights from BioLite, the AlpenGlow 250 & 500 rechargeable lanterns. These LED lights are designed to sit on a flat surface or hang from their built-in hook. They also double as USB battery packs, providing on-the-go charging

REVIEW – MagSafe charging for iPhone has been out for a while now and it works really well. Apple’s charger is pretty slim, packs easily for travel and all but guarantees location on your phone when it’s time to charge. There’s lots of options out there when you’d rather have a dock, but they typically
REVIEW – When cooking you sometimes need an accurate reading of internal temperatures to know when ‘done’ has been achieved. How does the Bloves Meat Thermometer perform in several cooking tasks?

REVIEW – The summer months get crazy for my household. I have a huge outdoor garden and that takes up nearly all my free time outside of work so when I do get a calm moment, the last thing I want to do is clean. This is why having a reliable robot vacuum is very

REVIEW – I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” clear case with Magsafe for my iPhone 12 Pro. I found the original Apple clear case with Magsafe to be too slippery, and the buttons were too stiff. Would the Smartish Gripmunk with Magsafe Slim Case fare any better? What is it? The Gripmunk with

REVIEW – Keto foods have become so mainstream that you can find them when you visit the grocery store. I’ve even found Keto friendly foods at Walmart. The problem is that many of these so-called Keto foods tend to be snack foods instead of foods that you can use as a full meal replacement. That

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few smartwatches over the years, but once the review was posted, I stopped wearing them because they always felt too bulky and uncomfortable on my wrist. But then I reviewed a fitness system that used the Apple Watch. They sent me a refurb to use with their system and

REVIEW – One of the main frustrations I’ve had with the Apple Mac Mini (M1, 2020) is the low number of ports, and that they’re always on the back. I’ve tried various hubs but none seem to be as slick as the Satechi stand that sits neatly under the Mac Mini itself. I got to

REVIEW – It seems to me, between CleanTok and the hundreds of “Clean with me” youtube videos trending that we might be onto a bit of a cleaning revolution. What works best? What works fastest? Is it smart, or dumb? Is there a Lemon-y scent? It’s no wonder in the year after sanitizing almost became

REVIEW – When the iPhone with MagSafe charging came out last year, there was only one clear case with Magsafe- the Apple one. I found that case extremely slippery with buttons that were hard to push. Eventually, a few “no name” brand cases trickled out into the market. I tried a handful, and they were

REVIEW – As we move into summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, more and more people are having outside get-togethers. If a movie would make a part of a good gathering for you, a sturdy outdoor screen will be in order. To that end, ProjectorScreen.com sent me the Elite Screens Yard Master 2 screen for

REVIEW – I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, being a software developer and writer. I’ve had many chairs over the years, some good, some bad. I recently set up a guest room, and the Nexvoo Health Ergonomic Chair review offer could not have come at a better time. Would I keep
