REVIEW – When you have a furry friend that shares your house with you, you often have a plethora of fur to deal with. In our case, my furry friend is a pup named Peanut we adopted from Fredricksburg, SPCA in Texas. Prior to Peanut, we always had shelties who had much longer fur that […]

REVIEW – In the evenings I like to kick back and relax by watching videos on my iPad. Usually I’m watching a movie on Netflix or Amazon Prime, videos on YouTube, or a Dota 2 tournament on Twitch. For my audio, I typically use a pair of Apple headphones, the older wired variety. Lately I’ve

REVIEW – Lately I have been looking to add efficiency to some of my workflows and processes by utilizing “small” computers with low power consumption.

REVIEW – The TaoTronics 6-quart air fryer is a substantial kitchen appliance that roasts, bakes or reheats your food, making it nice and crisp with little or no oil. What is it? This 1750-watt air fryer comes with 11 preset menus, touch controls, and is very easy to clean. It takes up a lot of

REVIEW – I’ve always been interested in a GPS tracker for valuables, but haven’t gotten one yet for a variety of reasons. When the offer came to review the Invoxia GPS tracker, I jumped at the opportunity to see if it’s worth it. I recently bought a somewhat-expensive e-bike, so this gave me a great

REVIEW – Apple has gotten a LOT of my money this year. In May I decided to switch from my Hauwei P30 Pro to an iPhone 11 Pro Max and then just a week ago I received a shiny new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Despite their new frosted glass backs, iPhones are notoriously slippery. I

REVIEW – Trying to keep a house clean with three cats, a dog, two rabbits and chickens out back is pretty hard. While I try to vacuum at least once a week, my dust bunnies keep breeding faster than I can exterminate them. This is where the Tesvor S6 robot vacuum comes in super handy

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’ve been a big fan of wirelessly charging my smartphone for years. I remember back in the day before it was built into most phones, that I hacked my Samsung Note2 to have that feature. The bulk of wireless chargers that we see on the market are flat slabs which don’t allow

REVIEW – I have loved notebooks, diaries, and journals since I was a young kid. As an adult, my fondness for stationery has gotten a little more refined. These days I don’t settle for a composition book and a Bic pen. I want my notebooks to feel AND look unique. One way to do this

REVIEW – Earlier this year I said that the Tribit StormBox Micro Bluetooth speaker was the audio bargain of the year. Now I get to review a new headphone from Tribit, the affordable QuietPlus 50.

I am constantly recording for YouTube videos, videography, podcasts, etc., and always looking for the next best portable USB mic for my on-the-go needs.

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
