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 […]

REVIEW – HyperX makes quality gaming gear for every type of video gamer, from professional to streamer to weekend warrior. Their gaming mice, for example, span the gamut from 11-button programmable to the wireless Pulsefire Dart to RGB lighting.

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.

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

REVIEW – The Gosun SolarLamp 50 would be an easy item to pack with camping gear or serve as a utility light in a pantry or utility room. I have some handheld flashlights that are obnoxiously bright indoors. They have their purpose but if you also need useful, non-blinding light in some settings the Uno

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.

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

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

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

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

REVIEW – Does your laptop have fewer ports than you’d like? Are you plugging in more than one cable every time you settle in at your desk? If you’ve answered yes to either of these then congratulations, you should check out a dock. There are a lot of options out there varying in size, form

REVIEW – I’ve been enjoying my quest for great-tasting, healthier alternatives to the sugar and carb ladened foods I used to eat. As a pre-diabetic, I’ve long known that carbs and sugar aren’t my friends, but working from home due to COVID enabled me to take my eating habits in a bad direction ultimately causing

REVIEW – The Epomaker AKKO 3068 Silent Bluetooth 5.0 keyboard is a fusion of the wireless Bluetooth combined with a nostalgic design. On paper, this ticks all the boxes for what I want in a mechanical keyboard these days – design (highly subjective to your tastes though, if you love RGB gaming flashiness you’ll want

REVIEW – It seems like many modern laptops are going all-in on USB-C, leaving a multitude of older USB devices, adapters and dongles with nowhere to plug. Enter an absolutely necessity for this brave new tiny-ported world, the uni USB-C 8-in-1 Hub. What is it? The uni USB-C 8-in-1 Hub is a small external device

REVIEW – Massage guns are not just for professional athletes anymore. More and more people are using them as part of their recovery routine. I am a 53 male and workout at the gym 4 to 5 days a week. And to my dismay, my body just does not recover like it used to. I

REVIEW – Who doesn’t like to sit around a cozy fire pit on a chilly evening outside? How about a fire pit that you can pack up and take with you? How about one that will also let you cook on it and is designed to radiate heat out to the sides and create less
