Gosun Solar Charging Flashlight review

Gosun solar flashlight 9

REVIEW – Spouse: “How many flashlights do we need around here?” Me: (To the tune of Tina Turner-) “What’s need – got to do, got to do with it?” The ‘Gosun Solar Charging Flashlight’, ‘Gosun SolarLight Solar Assisted Flashlight’, or ‘Gosun SolarFlash’. Whether you go with the name on the package or the two names

InvisQi review – turn nearly any horizontal surface into a wireless charger

invisqi charger 9

REVIEW – Name two things plaguing all of the small electronics we have all grown to depend on.  I’ll start.  1) They all need to be charged. 2) There are way too many cables strung all over the place.  Wireless chargers have helped, but they still take up valuable desk/table/nightstand space and are somewhat unsightly.

Fauna Spiro Transparent Brown Audio Glasses Review

Fauna Audio Glasses 1

REVIEW – I’ve owned a few pairs of high-quality sunglasses, but over the years, they’ve either gotten scratched or lost. When the Fauna Audio Glasses review offer came along, I figured that it would be an excellent time to upgrade. What is it? The Fauna Spiro Transparent Brown Audio Glasses are a revolutionary pair of

ClearOne Chat 150 USB speakerphone review

ClearOne Chat150 01

REVIEW – The ClearOne Chat 150 USB is a speakerphone accessory from one of the pioneers in the conference calling / phone switchboard arena.

Wayzn Smart Sliding Glass Door Opener review – An automated dog door solution

WSGD 01b

REVIEW – Dog lovers have long struggled with ways to let their dogs in and out of the house outside of the requisite walks. There are the in-door flaps and other dog doors, but what if you have a sliding glass door? There’s a couple of “inserts” for sliders, but they’ve got their own issues.

Ausounds AU-XT ANC over-the-ear wireless headphones review

20210215 173643

REVIEW – I’ve wanted noise-canceling headphones for a while now but I guess for me they are one of those things that you want, but you tell yourself you don’t really need.  Then you get them and you realize you do need them … a lot!  I think everyone living in quarantine needs them!  It’s

Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0 armband heart rate monitor review

scoshe rhythm2 01

REVIEW – I strongly dislike exercise (see photo above). However, I do like my indoor rower (or “erg” for you crew fans) which is something I fell in love with in college. My particular machine has a heart rate monitor receiver, but that usually means supplying your own chest strap, which always felt slightly burdensome

atumtek stick 15

REVIEW – Cell phones have revolutionized photography.  You used to have to schlep heave photo gear to be able to capture great photos.  With the latest editions of iPhones, Galaxys, Pixels, and others, cell phone photography has reached the point that for a lot of people, that’s the only camera they ever use.  Another big

Epson RapidReceipt RR-70W receipt and document scanner review

Epson rr70w 1

REVIEW – In my personal and professional capacities, I end up scanning a fair amount of stuff. It’s always easier to find storage space for 500 pages in digital PDF form than to get another filing cabinet. I have been using a common brand of an all-in-one printer/scanner for the big stuff, but I also
