REVIEW – As my gift to humanity, I vow to write this review without once making a pun about how the MECO High-Pressure Air Duster Blower “blows”. Like many computer-loving-geeks, I’ve long used the ubiquitous white cans of compressed air to blast dust out of my computers and laptops (and exacerbating my own allergies in […]

REVIEW – If you’ve been a long-time MacBook user then you’re familiar with the way Apple makes port changes to their line. It’s a no-looking-back approach that can be refreshing and frustrating at the same time. The switch to USB-C was one that visually cleaned up the sides of their laptops leaving only the headphone

REVIEW – I live in the south, and it gets pretty hot here during the summer. I’ve got a rickety old fan to help keep me cool while working in my garage or on the porch, but I’d really like a fan that is more powerful, more rugged, and more flexible. I think the Power

REVIEW – For the past few months, I have been working from home as a part of the “new normal” in response to the Coronavirus. This mode of work has allowed me some extra time to work on things on my to-do list. For a long time, I have wanted to start my own Podcast,

REVIEW – Whenever I am working on something like writing reviews, editing pictures to remove small blemishes, etc, I am always looking for the most efficient way. Also, while I am not an artist, drawing design concepts for my ideas for 3D prints could really use a better option than pen on paper and then

REVIEW – During these times of COVID-19, we’ve had to learn new ways to communicate and collaborate despite being more isolated than we would like. One key component for remote communication is a good microphone, one that can clearly capture your voice. For the past few weeks, I have been using TONOR’s new TC-777 microphone

REVIEW – Of course, we’ve all heard of COVID-19 by now. To be clear, the “19” on the end is not supposed to be the number of pounds we each have gained by sitting in quarantine, eating Cheetos and Oreos. If that has happened to you, you need a tool to track that tonnage and

REVIEW – A pressure washer is one of those things you don’t know you need until you have one. I usually end up borrowing one from a friend or family member every summer to tackle one cleaning project or another. I was happy when I got the chance to review the WestForce electric pressure washer.

REVIEW – These days, it seems that everyone is making their own headphones and earphones. Companies you’ve never heard of are springing up with the best headphone you’ve ever heard, the quietest noise canceling, most comfort, blah, blah, blah. Which is where my head was at when I received the Know Calm headphone to review.

REVIEW – When recording, streaming, or gaming, it’s important to have a good microphone, one that can clearly capture your voice. Most mics come with a short stand that takes up precious space on your desk and positions the mic closer to your keyboard, a source of unwanted ambient noise, than to your voice. Both

REVIEW – Fluidstance got their start over five years ago with balance boards designed for use at standing desks. As someone who has always been engaged in sideways sports those seemed completely natural to me, in addition to keeping my ankles much happier, but I digress. This review is about their new whiteboard called Slope.

REVIEW – I’ve been at least mildly germophobic as long as I can remember (I’m a constant hand-washer, among other things), so the opportunity to review this Adonit Note-UVC stylus was intriguing (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic). This stylus sells for less than the Apple Pencil, with the added benefit of a germ-killing UV-C light

REVIEW – Imalent flashlights pack a very bright punch in very small packages. What is it? We reviewed two small flashlights from Imalent. The LD70 is branded as a powerful keychain, with an impressive 4,000 lumens. At just a bit larger, the MS03 fits in your palm with room to spare and packs an incredible

REVIEW – Since NYC was “hit” by the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been working from home, and using 2 smartphones to manage my numerous daily conference calls. One of the main issues that I have been dealing with is that my calls frequently disconnect because of the really weak cell signal almost everywhere in my

REVIEW – Internet access. It’s become ubiquitous. We need it for so many things in our lives – work, education, entertainment, hobbies, connecting with family and friends, etc. Although a hard-wired connection is usually going to be faster and more reliable, so many of our devices are portable, or in a location where it’s hard

REVIEW – Water is an essential part of life. We need it to survive. It’s nice to float in on a hot summer day. But, if it shows up in the wrong place at the wrong time, it can create a disaster in your home. Orbit is mainly known for its water flow solutions, like irrigation
