REVIEW – One of my dreams is that someday, the companies that make our laptops will send smaller portable chargers with those laptops. Wouldn’t that make sense since laptops are meant to be portable? Until then, I’m stuck purchasing smaller more portable third-party travel wall chargers. I was excited to review the RAVPower PD Pioneer

REVIEW – When I got the chance to review the Tifosi custom gaming glasses, I’ll admit I was skeptical. I’ve tried blue-light-reducing settings on many devices, without ever noticing much of a difference to eyestrain. Perhaps actually wearing glasses designed to block the eyestrain-causing wavelengths of light will work better? Let’s find out! What is

REVIEW – Photos – we all take them, typically with our phones, since that’s the camera we all carry every day. What happens if you lose your phone? If you use cloud services like Amazon, iCloud, or Google, probably nothing as the cloud will protect your precious photo memories. But, what if you don’t use

REVIEW – The toys and tools that are available for kids today are much more advanced than when I was a child. My kids who are 4 and 5 years old do schoolwork and homework on tablets and also play several games that are way more sophisticated than anything that was available in my time.

REVIEW – This winter, my gloved hands, a dark sky, and a loud snowblower meant that I didn’t know I dropped my keys . With the Chipolo ONE Bluetooth tracker, I could have known they were lost and had help finding them. Now I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Rain happens, and sometimes you gotta deal with it. Am I scared? Heck, no… I’m rocking the Stash Messenger bag from Timbuk2’s lineup of next-generation bags. My car got wet. I got wet. My bag got wet. But my gear is bone dry. To the review! What is it? It’s a highly water-resistant

REVIEW – Good headphones used to cost a pretty penny, and you’ll have no problem finding many that do. Adding active Noise Cancellation (ANC) just raises that price even more. That’s no longer the case. There are many good headphones available, with and without ANC and at all price points. The new challenge is finding

REVIEW – As dashcams become more popular and affordable, manufacturers are always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. Device manufacturer Acumen took a novel approach to the problem by mating a dashcam with a rearview camera and using your car’s standard rearview mirror as a mount for the screen. Even though installation

REVIEW – If you are a keyboardist, one of the toughest things to do is to properly illuminate your keyboard and sheet music without over-lighting your performance location. BenQ’s new PianoLight is specifically designed to illuminate just your music and the entire width of your keyboard without spilling light elsewhere. Is this a bright idea,

REVIEW – Years ago, my wife and I had a cheap solid block of foam mattress which sagged in places after only a couple of years. Since then, we only bought “normal” innerspring mattresses—afraid to go the foam route again. However, science marches on and we again considered getting a foam mattress to replace our

REVIEW – I have a home office where I do work from home occasionally. The lighting in that office is provided by an overhead fan (every room in our house has a fan, it is Texas y’all and it gets hot!), and it has a rather diffused light fixture on it. I have been looking

REVIEW – BEHOLD MY JOURNAL OF SORCERY!! OK, it may not be real magic… but my SohoSpark Journal is still pretty cool. It’s a refillable journal for cataloging all of my thoughts and dreams. And the dragon on the cover added just the right style to a Dungeons & Dragons session I participated in recently.

REVIEW – The quality and quantity of my camping gear has been steadily on the rise over the last few years. My “essential” list of gear for a camping trip now fills two large bins and a duffel bag. This is fine though because the majority of camping I do falls squarely into the Car

REVIEW – Traction. What comes to mind when you hear that word? For many of us, we think of snow, rain, or gravel, when our vehicle tires lose adhesion send us into spins. But traction has another meaning. Per Merriam-Webster, traction is also a pulling force exerted on a skeletal structure (as in a fracture)
