REVIEW – I seem to be posting a lot lately about travel, or more correctly, the lack of travel, and the gadgets I hope to use someday when I can travel again. In keeping with that theme, I present the MasterSpace Charwego 45W travel power adapter. Charwego is much more than just a travel plug […]

REVIEW – There are many uses for citrus juice. It can be used in cooking, like in a key lime pie. It can be used for drinking, like a nice glass of orange juice. It can be the secret ingredient that makes a tasty cocktail. You can buy bottled or frozen concentrated juice, but there is

REVIEW – Unless you’re a nocturnal animal, it’s hard to see what you’re writing when it’s dark. WUBEN decided that having a built-in rechargeable light on an EDC style pen would be a great idea to fix that problem. Let’s see if they were right by taking a look at the WUBEN Gecko E61 Rechargeable

REVIEW – I’ve wanted an ambient backlight for our main television for a long time. Such backlights can add immersion to scenes and alleviate eyestrain (allegedly). A few manufacturers have offered different products over the years, either built into their TVs or as pricey add-ons for other systems (it looks like the latest Phillips Hue

REVIEW – Since the Covid pandemic started to get out of hand in early March 2020, I have been working from home, and have upgraded my in-house studio to handle my video and photo editing as well as my podcast recordings and editing. I have found that with my kids being home, they get into

REVIEW – For those folks who live the RV life, there are some things that you come to expect. One of those things is spotty cellphone reception, or maybe no reception at all. To get to those beautiful, picturesque spots, you probably have to head on out to the boondocks (for those folks not familiar

REVIEW – When you play stringed instruments, you spend a lot of time tuning their strings before you can even start making music with them. I’m all about efficiency and saving time, so is there a way to make tuning stringed instruments faster and more accurate than using a pitch pipe (do people really use

REVIEW – Like many people who use their iPads for both work and play, I enjoy the option of using a real keyboard with my iPad Pro. After a small catastrophe involving my morning coffee, my iPad Pro, and the dog (don’t ask), I found myself shopping for a new keyboard case. After a lot

REVIEW – Heads-up, romantics! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. If you’re romantically involved with someone difficult to shop for, you know how hard gift-giving can be. If you happen to be paired with a carnivore, Candy hearts are nice and all that, but it takes spiced, dried meat to warm the heart of

REVIEW – A folding pocket knife has been part of my every day carry since I was ten years old, before I even knew what EDC meant. Not a day goes by without me using whatever knife I’m carrying, whether for opening packages, cutting loose threads off my shirt, or slicing up an apple. I

REVIEW – If you’re like me, you’ve endured years (if not decades) of slow or spotty wireless connections, especially if you have a multi-level home or an apartment with many neighbors using WiFi. In theory, the Meshforce M7 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System should offer better speeds and more reliable connections over a much

REVIEW – Ever since the beginning of the human race, the ability to make fire has been a key ingredient to our survival and progress. Fire (and the heat it produces) makes food safer and better tasting. There’s no better illustration of using fire to cook than the backyard barbecue. It satisfies that primitive desire
REVIEW – We live pretty far out in the sticks which definitely comes with its pluses and minuses. One of the biggest hassles being when the power goes out. Now I grant you this occasionally happens to everyone but one tree can take us off the grid for days, if not weeks at a time.

REVIEW – One thing you can never take for granted is your health. Without good health, life gets a lot more complicated. That’s why they recommend a physical every year, preventative medicine, and routine monitoring. This current Covid-crazy world we live in has complicated some of that with some medical professionals switching to telemedicine. That

REVIEW – Earlier this year I was able to upgrade to a new 16-inch MacBookPro for my work computer. I love this laptop; it’s fast, powerful, and responsive, a perfect computer for programming and engineering work. Like all Apple laptops, it suffers from a shortage of ports; it has four Thunderbolt 3 ports with USB-C

REVIEW – When I get interested in a topic, I go into full research mode and want to try every product in that category to find my favorite. I do that with software and apps, and lately, I’ve been doing the same thing with low carb protein bars. Why low carb? Because I’m pre-diabetic and

REVIEW – I have lots of headphones (at least 9 sets) that hang around my workstation. I use wall mounted hangers for most of them, but it would be nice to have a desktop headphone stand for my daily use headphones. The Raptic Rise Headphone Stand and wireless charger is not just a headphone stand,

REVIEW – I’ve been on a health kick for the last few months after finding out that my A1C had gone up .2 from 5.7 in 2019 to 5.9 in 2020. Luckily, I’m still pre-diabetic as I’ve been for the past 16yrs and since I don’t want to become a full diabetic, I’ve been focusing
